Somehow my contributions are misunderstood.

I DON'T NEED AND DON'T SUPPORT NO (watch this double negative for emphasise) NEW DIMENSIONING TOOL IN SKETCHER! :evil:

Sketcher has all I need to highlight diameters where I am too lazy to do simple maths. I can devide by 2 or double a value or use expressions. Why should I want half dimensions in Sketcher? (Please don't answer this one. I know the answers already...)


BTW

It's your choice, you are the designer.

Just said, in my language designer is just making useless shaped junk with or without colors bur with no functions, so i am not a designer. Besides that this was a rhetoric question, because if you dimension all with a diameter, important or not, everything have this circle (if this circle diameter feature would be default) and will be "important" in your definition. As i said,

nor read your mind while constructing.

FBXL5 has said now multiple times that he is not advocating for making that part of an automatic tool, he's advocating to use this as is right now to achieve the desired diameter constraint.

I have had this multiple times. In both ways. A request what lacks of interest (more than once because maybe not clear enough). But also interst and then no-one who has time or interest to implement ...
