<Chocolate> Hi
<Chocolate> I'm new to solvespace
<Chocolate> is there anyone here?
<Chocolate> or a Discord channel?
<polyfloyd> I'm here
<Chocolate> =D
<polyfloyd> But it is a of a bit quiet channel :P
<Chocolate> yes I can see that
<Chocolate> I want to make some questions about the app
<Chocolate> the first thing, I'd like to use a spreadsheet like in freecad
<Chocolate> with some dimensions I'm going to use in multiple parts
<Chocolate> is that possible?
<polyfloyd> I have not seen such a feature
<polyfloyd> In what way are spreadsheets used in Freecad? I have not used it
<Chocolate> and how do you do when you have to change a same dimension in 20 parts?
<Chocolate> i.e. you realized the holes in your assembly are all 1 mm bigger than they should be
<polyfloyd> If I were to make such holes I would use the equal size constraint
<polyfloyd> So resizing one would resize all
<Chocolate> is that possible through multiple files?
<Chocolate> I understand that an assembly is made of multiple slvs files
<polyfloyd> I think so, by defining the actual size in the lowest common file
<polyfloyd> If there is none, you could create one with a construction line circle that has the size
<polyfloyd> And then import that. At least, that is what I have seen other people do
<Chocolate> so I create a new file. draw a circle with radius 10, then save the file, open a new one...
<Chocolate> then open it with new-group>link/assemble?
<polyfloyd> Yes, pretty much :)
<Chocolate> if I have to use that same circle 10 times in this new part I make 9 other circles with Q constraint
<Chocolate> no...
<Chocolate> the imported circle can't be used as part of the sketch
<Chocolate> I need to draw 10 new circles
<polyfloyd> No, not as part. But as a reference
<Chocolate> and make them equal to the linked one
<Chocolate> ok, so instead having a spreadsheet I'm going to have a bunch of slvs files with the basics shapes of my project
<Chocolate> it's a nice workaround. thanks
<polyfloyd> yw ^^
<Chocolate> my second question is how could I run an animation, i.e, a 360 degrees rotation of a part in an assembly
<Chocolate> and if there's a way to autoremove redundant constraints
<Chocolate> while I'm drawing a sketch
<polyfloyd> Autoremoving constraints is not a think afaik, being mindful of what constraints to create is what helps me out
<polyfloyd> I have a design that has two parts that rotate about an axis
<polyfloyd> It consists of two distinct parts that are linked at a single point and with some freedom of movement to mimic the rotation in reality
<Chocolate> so I have to test it by draging with the mouse
<Chocolate> ok
<Chocolate> I'm trying to change the color theme as this high contrast default is pretty stressfull to me
<Chocolate> it generates on me some kind of claustrophobia. it's too dark
<polyfloyd> Yeah, understandable. I have my background set to some kind of blue
<Chocolate> I can't find the option to do so
<polyfloyd> It's in the Line Styles menu
<Chocolate> oh here it is on lyne styles
<Chocolate> thanks
<Chocolate> and what about the property browser background?
<polyfloyd> That is also still black for me
<polyfloyd> But it is not so large so it does not bother me
<polyfloyd> You can toggle it with the Tab key btw
<Chocolate> nice tip
<Chocolate> thanks
<Chocolate> I'm trying to change its color anyway, maybe from the source code somewhere
<Chocolate> I can't T-T
<Chocolate> what is the simplest way to make a centered rectangle?
<Chocolate> I can see symetry constraint is not working with 3 points
<Chocolate> I made 2 construction segments from the center to the corners and made them equals
<Chocolate> there's a problem, when a reference file is linked the commens are hiden https://imgur.com/a/6Xap1dm
<Chocolate> can be the python-solvespace packaged used as a spreadhseet?
