The problem that this feature will solve: Improved accuracy and reduced errors
When using the numerical input dialog to provide a value, it would be super to be able to select a pinned measurement in the window, or to be able to pop up a list of pinned measures. When you tap the measure you want, it would be input to the number input dialog.
Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature: Speed, accuracy and error rates would be improved
This would allow faster input of values measured on the model as inputs to subsequent move, extrude, align steps via the number input dialog when interacting with the on-screen widget. I know that the number input dialog is modal, so the model space is not selectable and, for some reason, it always seems to find a way to obscure the pinned measurement that I am trying to transcribe, so that’s why I suggest a pop up list of measures as an alternative. In that case, when you choose the measure in the list, the measure that it belongs to could be highlighted in model space.
This is a typing aid, and would not create a link to the measure, but all the better if it did. But the typing assistance would help the user conduct further arithmetic using the dialog.
What can’t you achieve without this feature?
I’d save paper and pencil lead as I tend to have to accumulate a list of relevant numbers and cut working drawing views that help me as my design evolves. Just having those numbers living in pinned measurements would be helpful.
