Add symbol to indicate when a moveable joint is locked

Add symbol to indicate when a moveable joint is locked

Sometimes moveable joints need to be locked to keep too many things from moving at once.

 

But with dozens of joints, it can take awhile to find it when it's time to unlock it.

 

It would be very helpful if locked joints had a symbol indicate that so they could be easily spotted.

If I remember good, in Inventor's sketch, when there was no more degrees of freedom on draft, it turned to different colour.

 

Maybe we could add in Inspect an option that would change the colour between parts, depending on how much degrees of freedom left there? Simple visual representation where you can catch at a glance if everything is good.

It sounds like you're talking about something else; my suggestion is not related to how many degrees of freedom remain.

Just thought of something - it would be even better if you could just right-click on a joint to lock/unlock it.

 

But only if that could be done with the joints be in the Hide state, which I have mine in 99% of the time because otherwise they clutter up the display too much.
