Dynamic Highlighting

Description

During the creation/definition/indication of lines, arcs and contours in Marine Drafting, the resulting entity will now be dynamically highlighted as the cursor moves over the drawing. For example, when creating an arc segment with three points, the resulting segment is highlighted dynamically when third point is about to be defined.

Dynamic highlighting is implemented during the definition of

• Line segments: all definition modes

• Arc segments: all definition modes except "Point, radius and Tangent"

• PolyLine segments: all definition modes

• Ellipses: "Circumscribed Rectangle" and "Major & Minor Axis" and in the following functionality:

• Modify/Stretch Node

• Modify/Stretch Elbow

• Insert Rectangle/Square with a fillet radius

• Insert/Staircase

Benefits

Improved UI during geometry definition: resulting entity is pre-highlighted.
