Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
Of my point of view:
If a straight line is an arc of infinite diameter, then if you make 2 lines parallel then they teorically can share same center. In consecuence parallel constraint can ve aplicable to lines and arcs and circles.
If you asume the past sentences, concentric circles and parallel lines can ve set using the same type of parallel tool.

Please start a new topic if you want to discuss a sketcher offset tool.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
I created a GitHub request for this so that it doesn't get lost here: issue #7546.
Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
Sketcher offset is pending review. And is likely to merge before a potential concentric constraint. So this argument is moot.
I am against adding a new type of constraint, especially if it adds a tool in the toolbar as I think it's unecessary complexity.
However, why don't we simply allow users to select 2 circles/arcs when using the coincidence tool? It's easy to code, and solve the matter.

Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
Yes, that should be sufficient as long as there are no 3D sketches in the Sketcher. It seems to be the best solution at the moment.

Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
Yeah that's what I've been saying, it's just coincidence between the center points. Regarding offset, note that AFAIK you implemented an offset tool, but not an actual offset constraint as user1234 requests, personally I just use a subshapebinder now when I need 2d offset while using PD so I don't mind.
Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
Now you just need to get it accepted
I suggest that you open a poll on that suggestion:
"Enable selection of 2 circles/arcs with coincidence constraint, such that it can act as a concentric constraint."
If the vote is consensual enough that should be enough to convince.

Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
If 3D sketching is ever implemented it would likely be a full rewrite or separate implementation anyways so I don't think we should even care about the 3D case nuances.
I would say it should work for any number of circles/arcs and/or points.
Re: [Feature Request] Concentric constraint in the Sketcher
offset constraint? I'm not sure what it is. It would be a constraint that you use between 2 similar elements (2 arcs or 2 lines) ? So basically it would be distance for line and concentric + radius distance for arcs and so on?adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 1:10 pm Yeah that's what I've been saying, it's just coincidence between the center points.

I don't really see the point vs a offset tool. Beside the offset tool I implemented has a kind of offset constraint (actually a distance) that would modify the offset lenght between the 2 wires.
