Update Constraint Value Command

Update Constraint Value Command

Place Constraint.png

 

 

There needs to be a feature that updates the value of constraints when they are unsuppressed. Something similar to
the Predict Offset and Orientation feature property in the constrain dialog.

I developed my own Add-in until Autodesk implements this feature as shown in the GIF above. As you can see, after the command is activated, all constraints that are unsuppressed will have their values changed so that the component doesn't move. Also, the user should be able to select pre-snap values such as 1 deg, 5 deg, 10 deg, etc. and the constraint's value will round down or up to that number. Combine this with iMates and the idea of treating iMates like Constraints, the result will be massive productivity boosts in middle-out and bottom-up design workflows.
 
This idea is part of a group of ideas under iMates Overhaul that seeks to improve iMates.
