Macro Shake Sketch/en

Description
Shake a sketch in order to discover its unconstrained parts.

Enter edit mode for a sketch and launch the macro. The macro will add a random displacement on all sketch points. The sketch is then solved, constrained parts will retain their position, free parts will move. Always run this macro on a copy of the original sketch.

Restore the original Sketch with the Undo (Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Ctrl+Y) button (labeled "Shake Sketch") or be careful working on a copy of your file because the macro "dismantles all" to display and you may need to start over.

Install
Available in Addon manager, or manual install.

 * 1) FreeCAD macro to shake a sketch in order to discover its unconstrained parts.
 * 2) A Gaussian noise is introduced in all sketch points and the sketch is then
 * 3) solved.
 * 4) Beware that the sketch can look different because some constraints have
 * 5) several solutions. In this case, just undo.

 * 11)       * added openTransaction(u"Shake Sketch") for restore the original Sketch
 * 12) - 1.2: 2021-10-22
 * 13)       * made macro runnable for current versions of fc
 * 14)       * added Part.LineSegment
 * 15)       * added start info & result dialogue
 * 16)       * hides constraints during shake
 * 17)       * added simple debug printing

 * 22) Amplitude of the point displacements.
 * 23) The standard deviation of the Gaussian noise is the largest sketch dimension
 * 24) multiplied by this factor.
