Part or assembly name next to selections in constraints

[Anonymous]

I hope, above picture explains itself. There is a components name present (PART NAME 1 and PART NAME 2) if selection is made. If selection is not present, it is empty. If it is empty we know what side of constraint is missing. In case of failed constraint keep part name but add "Missing Reference". Also, selection colors, which were supposed to help us detect what is selected should be more distinguishable, like red and yellow, and not like these two shades of blue colors.

Below is the info on failed constraint.

We can see that info for selection exists: Part1 and Part2. This should be incorporated into Edit Constraint windows as I proposed. Also, add "Missing Reference" next to Part Name so we know what is missing and on what part.

someone from AutoDesk way back in the day told me to always pick the part being inserted as the first constraint in the assembly. then you will always know if that part fails constraint and the second reference is missing you will know it is whatever that part is constrained to.

I like adding this information to the graphics window.  Its better than trying to navigate through the assembly browser to see the component names.  I also like getting the constraint dimension parameter name.  That will make it easier to write equations using those parameters.

Don't forget this assembly option:

I am aware of this option, and it is not user friendly at all. Also, there should be visible dimensions for constraints on screen that we can use to change constraints values, such as offset or angle.
