Macro Sketch Constraint From Spreadsheet

Description
'''Work in progress. It works for me. Tell me if anything is wrong.'''

Macro which, with a simple click on a spreadsheet cell, adds a length constraint to a line or between 2 points using a spreadsheet cell alias or address (ex. C2). Future changes to the spreadsheet will update the constraint. Macro can create alias for you.

Just select 1 line, 2 points or a constraint, click on a spreadsheet cell and run the macro. You can select lines, points at the ends of a line, points, circle, arc of circle.



Usage
If we run the macro when we have not yet created a spreadsheet, it suggests to create one and opens it so that we can start filling it in.



It is not mandatory, but it is better to have alias in our spreadsheet. Macro can create alias from texts in cells.



1) Select:
 * a line,
 * two points (end of a line, center of a circle, etc.)
 * or a length constraint



2) Click on a spreadsheet cell, with or without an alias, that has a numerical value:



3) Run the macro.

4) Select the desired type of constraint:



If the cell has an alias, the length property of the constraint will be something like 'Spreadsheet.alias'. Otherwise, something like 'Spreadsheet.D4'.



5) If the constraint causes a conflict in the sketch and the "conflict detection" box is checked, the macro will offer to delete the new constraint:



If you select an existing constraint, you can change the value for a cell in the spreadsheet:



To make things even more refined, if, for example, a line is horizontal rather than vertical, when the dialogue box opens, the focus will be on the button for imposing a horizontal constraint. If the line is vertical rather than horizontal, the focus will be on the button to impose a vertical constraint. In both cases, simply press the enter key if you are happy with this choice.
