BUG | Constraint indicator is not displayed when selected from shortcut menu

crawlinbrain — Sat, 15 Apr 2023 20:48:54 GMT

I have constraints added to my shortcut menu because Fusion lacks context menus.

However when a constraint is selected from the menu there is no mouse indicator. So it's very easy to forget you are using the tool.

It would be great if this was fixed. Or better yet a context menu was added when sketch entities are selected. Or, even as compromise, allow the right click menu to be customized. The indicator is visible when selected from Right Click>Shortcuts>Tool, but there are two layers of dense drop down menus to get there...

Currently constraints are very laborious to add. Open to any suggestions for a smoother workflow.

Hi,

What exactly is the bug? I ask because when a constraint is being used, the toolbar shows you which one is running.

Correct function: When a constraint is selected it is indicated in the tool bar AND with the mouse-indicator

Incorrect function: When a constraint tool is selected it is ONLY indicated in the tool bar.

With my workflow I barely acknowledge the toolbar, only using shortcuts and the "S-Menu." This is a bug because the mouse-indicator is only displayed in one path of activating the tool.

My apologies, I got it now.

Logged as FUS-127739, and yes, this is totally inconsistent behavior. Thanks for letting us know.

It turns out this is a windows-only bug, at least in early testing. Just mentioning here in case it helps anyone.
