Because, with such a source window, it's easy to see the order of the parts and being able to move whole steps back and forth. I'd really like that, being able to move the order of the parts directly in the source window.Moving lines around is something I consider essential in order to justify the source windows existance. I'm mostly wondering about how much freedom it should allow while working with unkown meta's etc.
Trevor Sandy Wrote:Do you plan to enable cut and paste within the source window and 3D 'reload' from source in the 1.5 roadmap?Currently I'm leaning towards giving the source window it's own (totally different) copy paste handling logics. Any changes will be visualized in de 3d view instantly. Only initial restriction will be the FILE meta, as the current source window displays only the current (sub)model.
Trevor Sandy Wrote:The ability to manage source (i.e. cut and paste step and subfile content) is very useful - especilly when preparing instructions. For example, LPub does not handle some LDCad template content very well so it is sometimes necessary to move content around.I have some template functionality pending which is only partly present in 1.4. It allows defining replacement / BOM listing parts optionally based on length of the curve etc. Maybe we can set something up so you can use it with LPUB ?
Those LPUB modifications you did so far look very useful.
