Wish: DraftAngleAnalysis dialog improvement

Hi All,

I would appreciate having interactive degree shown under cursor for all objects, selected for analysis. Is this possible?
Instead of just color (as addition, I would say) number under cursor will be much more informative.

Have you tried the Dir command?
Objects you want to analyze have to be selected. It will then gives the draft angle readout for the surface under the cursor in the status bar.
It will also will give the draft angle as a tool tip if you have the distance option checked under Options>ModelingAids>CursorToolTips

Hi @jim

Good point, thank you.
I knew the same trick for ExtractIsocurve only. Never paid much attention to info during Dir.
The only reason I still would like this specific feature during Draft analysis is basically my tool Z direction is usually not the same as CPlane Z direction.
I mostly use an option of “Two points” to set the tool opening direction. And for this mode draft is different from current CPlane.
Since we have a special command for draft analysis it would be better to add some abilities to it.

Whaat? That was cool! Wish it worked for meshes too, as we work with terrain. @wim do you know who this wish should be for? Guess I have to program one unless it get’s implemented.

I fully agree. It makes sense to have that functionality as part of draft analysis.

As an extra wish, I would like to have AutoUpdate feature in case of Draft analysis based on Curve option. Draft should be updated automatically once curve is modified. At this moment we have to reassign curve after modification.

@Gijs , @wim . Sorry for bugging you, gents.
Is it something that could be implemented?
