Pocketing with islands. #253

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Pocketing with islands works but requires the user to do some unintuitive 
things to make it go.  

The island and border of the pocket must be created or imported as separate 
sketches and have their 'order' properties set different from one another.  
Then the sketches must be combined and re-ordered again.  If all goes well, the 
order of the new sketch will read 'multiple' and the pocket will work.

Since it's now possible to drag and drop sketches in the object tree and have a 
hierarchy of sketches, it would be much more intuitive to make use of this for 
pocketing with islands.  

A sketch representing the outer border of the pocket could contain child 
sketches representing the islands.  Each could be re-ordered independently and 
as long as they differ in direction, the pocket should work.
