Positioning relative to step's range in multistep group #368

Open sidorsett opened 5 years ago

sidorsett commented 5 years ago

Hello, Trevor.

Subject

Now, when #358 is there, could you please next implement positioning of objects in a multistep group relative to step's content box, as discussed in #337 ?

  1. Is it possible to align objects in every step relative to the content box dedicated to that step? For example, PLI in the top left corner and assembly in the bottom right one.

No, however this is a good enhancement. The key pieces are already in place to enable this behavior. I would simply have to add a step's "Range" to the list of available "relative to" placement options. Do not hesitate to open a ticket requesting this behavior.

Solution suggestion

Add STEP keyword to placement metas: 0 !LPUB MULTI_STEP PLI|STEP_NUMBER|ASSEM PLACEMENT GLOBAL|LOCAL <...> STEP INSIDE

Thank you.

Cheers.
