2.0.2b15 Sketch-tool moves geom when I expect to drag

Postby tatt61880 » Tue May 15, 2012 5:29 pm

Tutorial_Sketch_Drag = "To drag a geometry when the simulation is running, select it then drag it.";


When you select more than 2 geoms, sketch tool moves these geom instead of dragging them. This behavior isn't match with description above. You may think that you can change the description, but I suggest next.
Sketch-tool = sim.running ? {drag-tool} : {move-tool} // for keep it simple stupid

Current behavior:
Sketch-tool = dragging_on_selected_object ? { (sim.running && selected object is just 1 object) ? {drag-tool} : {move-tool} } : {other-tool}

My suggestion:
Sketch-tool = dragging_on_selected_object ? { sim.running ? {drag-tool} : {move-tool} } : {other-tool}

There is no conditional-branch about "how many object is selected", in my suggestion.

I suggest this behavior because when sim.runnning I normally drag object, and when sim.running is false, I usually move object.
With current sketch-tool, it is difficult to drag gears, chains, etc (because they are grouped automatically).
Current drag-tool have no problem to drag gears, chains and other grouped geoms.
