my usual approce to work my way through the code is polling to LDView with
"Poll to selected line only" enabled and LDView's feature "View -> Always on
top" turned on, so I can run LDView in a small window in order to have immediate
visual feedback.
say I wanna make some changes to a couple of tripples. I fire up SyncEdit and
change the first tripple. hang on! does it look right? instead of just coping
the current content of SyncEdit (containing my changes) back to LDDP I have to
hit "OK" which will close the prog :-( to do the rest I have to start up
SyncEdit again: right click, move to Plugins, move to SyncEdit ... select the
line ... change the tripple. dude, I don't have the patience for all those
clicks ;-) couldn't you code in something like LDView's "Always on top" and a
copy button?
I'd also like to see a tolerance box. you enter 0.005 and SyncEdit not only
marks -3.085 0 6.234 in the first two lines but also the -3.085 0 6.239 in the
third (in a different color?):
// 3 6 -2.864 0 6.532 -3.085 0 6.234 -3.232 0 6.305
// 3 16 -2.864 0 6.532 -2.609 0 6.297 -3.085 0 6.234
// 3 16 -2.609 0 6.297 -2.937 0 6.119 -3.084 0 6.239
sometimes I get rounding errors because the output of my cad-prog is quite
messy. the tolerance feature could not only work around this problem, but also
used to detect actual rounding errors.
as you already have figured out I'm a lazy guy. selecting the line and then
hitting two times the "next" button just to hop to the last tripple are two
clicks too much. how about selecting the tripple right away?
please give me also the possibility to change all red into blue. you know
substituting the color code 4 with color 1, gold (383) instead of main color
(16).
last but not least. when I start up SyncEdit I cannot make any modifications in
LDDP. I wish I could just jump from the plugin to the prog and back at my will,
with every change copied automatically to the prog or the plugin. basically it
is an extention of the request above.
hmmm ... quite a long list ... many thx in anticipation for fullfilling my wild
dreams :-)))
