Drill Hole Location (Dimension) #52

Closed WandererFan closed 8 years ago

WandererFan commented 8 years ago

We need a way to create a dimension from the center of a circle to a point on the Part. We don't plot the centre point, so you can't use a vertex to vertex measurement. We haven't gotten around to datum lines & points yet either so you can't use that.

thanks to joukeHijlkema!

plot a vertex at circle centre if ShowCenterMarks is true?

I like the idea of plotting the centre by default. In my imagined usage of a Drawing, holes would be made with a drill press or mill or whatever, so would need to locate the centre point based on measurable dimensions on the the real object.

There is logic to put a centre mark, but we need a vertex to do dimensioning.

Done. Circle centres can now have marks and if the have a mark they are treated like a vertex and can be used in dimensions. We also have a vertex-to-edge dimension now, so I think this one should be closed.
