WIP: connections command

Hi @Joshua_Kennedy,
Sketch constraint is a dream coming real for me. It’s the only feature I’m envy of parametric.

My consideration is about the interface. I saw your video and having the constraint as a panel like an option make them more complex to use.

I can understand that I need to define a sketch to make it working but why aren’t all closed crvs directly converted into sketches? This would speed up the process a lot. Then, if you really need an open sketch you can decide to make it explicitly.

The other things is why the most wanted, need, useful, icons (the constraint them self) are hidden inside a panel and then under a “shy” +.
Why the constraint aren’t a proper toolbar? Like any other rhino tool.

3rd, like Gijs showed you, the icon should be visible directly next to the associated geometry, and should work as button or as delete function.

4th, wish I can constraint a length or an angle by adding a dimensions or the constraint can create a dimension automatically.

Hope this helps making this better.
Thanks.
Riccardo
