Macro Sketch Constraint From Spreadsheet/fr

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.

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
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.
