d6044e551a - Improved sketching 2025-11-16 17:48:05 +01:00

11d053fda4 Fix sketcher mode handling to prevent unintended line creation during drag operations
Major changes:
- Fixed right-click handler to directly set mode to NONE instead of relying on main app signal handling
- Added safety checks in left-click handler to prevent drawing when no draggable point is found in NONE mode
- Enhanced mode compatibility by treating Python None as SketchMode.NONE in set_mode() method
- Added comprehensive debug logging for mode changes and interaction state tracking
- Resolved integration issue where persistent constraint modes were prematurely reset by main app
- Ensured point dragging is only enabled in NONE mode, preventing accidental polyline creation

This fixes the reported issue where deactivating the line tool would still create lines when dragging,
and ensures proper mode transitions between drawing tools and selection/drag mode.

# WARP.md
This file provides guidance to WARP (warp.dev) when working with code in this repository.
## Project Overview
Fluency is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) application built with Python/PySide6 that provides parametric 3D modeling through a timeline-based project system. The application combines 2D sketching with constraint solving, 3D visualization using VTK, and SDF (Signed Distance Function) based mesh generation.
## Common Commands
### Development Environment Setup
```bash
# Activate virtual environment (if exists)
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Running the Application
```bash
# Run the main application
python main.py
# Run with debugging
python -u main.py
```
### UI Development
```bash
# Convert Qt Designer UI file to Python code
pyside6-uic gui.ui > Gui.py -g python
```
### Building Executable
The project uses Nuitka for compilation (configured in `main.py` header):
```bash
# Build standalone executable
nuitka --standalone --plugin-enable=pyside6 --plugin-enable=numpy --macos-create-app-bundle main.py
```
### Testing
```bash
# Run mesh generation test
python meshtest.py
```
## Architecture Overview
### Core Components
#### Main Application (`main.py`)
- **MainWindow**: Central UI controller that manages all widgets and user interactions
- **Project System**: Hierarchical structure: `Project → Timeline → Component → Sketch/Body`
- **Signal-based Communication**: Qt signals coordinate between 2D sketching and 3D rendering
#### Project Hierarchy
```
Project
├── Timeline (list of Components)
└── Component
├── Sketches (dict)
├── Bodies (dict)
└── Connectors (for assembly)
```
#### Drawing Modules (`drawing_modules/`)
- **SketchWidget** (`draw_widget_solve.py`): 2D parametric sketching with SolverSpace constraint solving
- **VTKWidget** (`vtk_widget.py`): 3D visualization and mesh interaction using VTK
- **PyVistaWidget** (`vysta_widget.py`): Alternative 3D rendering backend
#### Mesh Generation (`mesh_modules/`)
- **VESTA** (`vesta_mesh.py`): Multi-threaded SDF-to-mesh conversion using marching cubes
- **Interactor Mesh** (`interactor_mesh.py`): Simplified edge-based meshes for 3D selection
- **Simple Mesh** (`simple_mesh.py`): Basic mesh utilities
### Data Flow Architecture
#### 2D to 3D Pipeline
1. **2D Sketching**: User draws in SketchWidget using Qt coordinate system
2. **Constraint Solving**: SolverSpace resolves geometric constraints
3. **SDF Generation**: Sketch converted to Signed Distance Functions for 3D operations
4. **Mesh Generation**: VESTA generates triangle meshes from SDF using marching cubes
5. **3D Rendering**: VTK displays both solid meshes and interactive edges
#### Signal Flow (from `doc/flow.md`)
- 2D QPoint → cartesian space → SolverSpace dict → constraint solving → display
- 3D mesh selection → projection to 2D → sketch widget integration
### Key Classes
#### Core Data Structures
- **Sketch**: 2D geometric data with origin, normal, points, and constraints
- **Body**: 3D mesh representation containing SDF objects and interactor meshes
- **Component**: Container grouping related sketches and bodies
- **Interactor**: Simplified edge-based mesh for 3D manipulation
#### Constraint Solving
The application uses `python_solvespace` for parametric constraint solving:
- Point-to-point constraints
- Distance constraints
- Horizontal/vertical line constraints
- Point-to-line constraints
### Technology Stack
- **GUI**: PySide6 (Qt for Python)
- **3D Graphics**: VTK for rendering, PyVista as alternative
- **Constraint Solving**: SolverSpace for parametric geometry
- **Mesh Generation**: SDF library with custom VESTA marching cubes implementation
- **Scientific Computing**: NumPy for mathematical operations
## Development Workflow
### Adding New Sketch Tools
1. Add UI button in `gui.ui`
2. Convert UI: `pyside6-uic gui.ui > Gui.py -g python`
3. Connect signal in `MainWindow.__init__()`
4. Implement tool logic in `SketchWidget`
### Adding New 3D Operations
1. Extend operation buttons in the Modify group
2. Implement operation logic using SDF functions
3. Update Body creation and timeline management
4. Handle interactor mesh generation for selection
### Debugging Tips
- Monitor solver results through `SolverSystem` status
- Use VTK's built-in debugging for rendering issues
- Check coordinate transformations between 2D sketch and 3D space
- Verify SDF function outputs before mesh generation
### File Structure
- `main.py`: Application entry point and main window
- `Gui.py`: Auto-generated UI code (do not edit directly)
- `gui.ui`: Qt Designer UI definition file
- `drawing_modules/`: 2D and 3D rendering widgets
- `mesh_modules/`: Mesh generation and processing
- `doc/`: Architecture and command documentation
## Dependencies
Primary external libraries:
- `PySide6`: Qt GUI framework
- `vtk`: 3D visualization toolkit
- `python-solvespace`: Constraint solving
- `sdf`: Signed Distance Function operations
- `numpy`: Numerical computations
- `scikit-image`: Marching cubes algorithm
- `names`: Random name generation for sketches

The main widget class that handles user interaction and rendering.
**Key Responsibilities:**
- Mouse and keyboard event handling
- Mode management (line, circle, constraint modes, etc.)
- Coordinate system transformations
- Rendering pipeline orchestration
- Integration with external systems (working planes)
### 2. ImprovedSketch
Enhanced wrapper around SolverSpace's SolverSystem.
**Key Responsibilities:**

- `Circle2D`: 2D circles with radius constraints
## Geometry System
### Point2D Class
```python
class Point2D:
def __init__(self, x: float, y: float, is_construction: bool = False):
self.id = uuid.uuid4() # Unique identifier
self.x = float(x) # X coordinate
self.y = float(y) # Y coordinate
self.ui_point = QPoint(int(x), int(y)) # Qt UI point
self.handle = None # SolverSpace handle
self.handle_nr = None # Handle number
self.is_helper = is_construction # Construction geometry flag
```
**Key Features:**
- Automatic coordinate validation
- SolverSpace handle integration
- Construction/normal geometry support
- Distance calculations and equality testing
### Line2D Class
```python
class Line2D:
def __init__(self, start_point: Point2D, end_point: Point2D, is_construction: bool = False):
self.id = uuid.uuid4()
self.start = start_point # Start point reference
self.end = end_point # End point reference
self.handle = None # SolverSpace handle
self.constraints = [] # Applied constraints list
self.is_helper = is_construction
```
**Key Features:**
- Automatic degenerate line detection
- Length, midpoint, and angle calculations
- Point-on-line testing with tolerance
- Constraint tracking and annotation
### Circle2D Class
```python
class Circle2D:
def __init__(self, center: Point2D, radius: float, is_construction: bool = False):
self.id = uuid.uuid4()
self.center = center # Center point reference
self.radius = float(radius) # Radius value
self.handle = None # SolverSpace handle
self.constraints = [] # Applied constraints
self.is_helper = is_construction
```
## Constraint Solving
### SolverSpace Integration
The system uses the `python-solvespace` library for constraint solving. The `ImprovedSketch` class wraps the SolverSpace API and provides:
1. **Automatic Handle Management**: Each geometry object gets a unique handle
2. **Error Handling**: Robust error handling for solver failures
3. **Position Updates**: Automatic geometry position updates after solving
### Constraint Types
#### Geometric Constraints
- **Coincident**: Point-to-point or point-to-line coincidence
- **Horizontal**: Forces lines to be horizontal
- **Vertical**: Forces lines to be vertical
- **Distance**: Fixes distance between points or line length
- **Parallel**: Makes lines parallel (future implementation)
- **Perpendicular**: Makes lines perpendicular (future implementation)
#### Constraint Application Workflow
```python
def _handle_distance_constraint(self, pos: QPoint):
line = self.sketch.get_line_near(pos)
if line and line.handle:
# Get user input for distance
distance, ok = QInputDialog.getDouble(...)
if ok:
# Apply constraint to solver
self.sketch.distance(line.start.handle, line.end.handle, distance, self.sketch.wp)
# Solve system
result = self.sketch.solve_system()
if result == ResultFlag.OKAY:
line.constraints.append(f"L={distance:.2f}")
```
### Solver Workflow
1. **Constraint Addition**: Constraints are added to the solver system
2. **System Solving**: The solver attempts to find a valid solution
3. **Result Processing**: If successful, geometry positions are updated
4. **UI Updates**: The display is refreshed to show new positions
## Coordinate Systems
The sketcher uses multiple coordinate systems that must be properly transformed between:
### 1. Sketch Coordinates (Local)
- Origin at sketch center
- Y-axis points up (mathematical convention)
- Units in millimeters
- Range: typically -1000 to +1000
### 2. Viewport Coordinates (Screen)
- Origin at top-left of widget
- Y-axis points down (computer graphics convention)
- Units in pixels
- Range: 0 to widget dimensions
### 3. Working Plane Coordinates (3D)
- 3D coordinates projected onto 2D working plane
- Transformation handled by external VTK system
- Converted to sketch coordinates for display
### Coordinate Transformations
#### Viewport to Local (Mouse Input)
```python
def _viewport_to_local(self, viewport_pos: QPoint) -> QPoint:
# Step 1: Subtract widget center
center_x = self.width() / 2
center_y = self.height() / 2
# Step 2: Apply pan offset
viewport_x = viewport_pos.x() - center_x - (self.pan_offset.x() * self.zoom_factor)
viewport_y = viewport_pos.y() - center_y - (self.pan_offset.y() * self.zoom_factor)
# Step 3: Apply inverse zoom and Y-flip
local_x = viewport_x / self.zoom_factor
local_y = -viewport_y / self.zoom_factor
return QPoint(int(local_x), int(local_y))
```
#### Rendering Transform Setup
```python
def _setup_coordinate_system(self, painter: QPainter):
transform = QTransform()
# Translate to center and apply pan
center = QPointF(self.width() / 2, self.height() / 2)
transform.translate(center.x() + self.pan_offset.x() * self.zoom_factor,
center.y() + self.pan_offset.y() * self.zoom_factor)
# Apply zoom and flip Y-axis
transform.scale(self.zoom_factor, -self.zoom_factor)
painter.setTransform(transform)
```
## Interaction System
### Mode-Based Interaction
The sketcher supports multiple interaction modes with robust mode management:
#### Drawing Modes
- `SketchMode.LINE`: Two-point line creation
- `SketchMode.RECTANGLE`: Two-corner rectangle creation
- `SketchMode.CIRCLE`: Center-radius circle creation
- `SketchMode.POINT`: Single point creation
#### Constraint Modes
- `SketchMode.COINCIDENT_PT_PT`: Point-to-point coincidence
- `SketchMode.HORIZONTAL`: Horizontal line constraint
- `SketchMode.VERTICAL`: Vertical line constraint
- `SketchMode.DISTANCE`: Distance/length constraint
#### Selection Mode
- `SketchMode.NONE`: Selection and manipulation mode (enables point dragging)
### Selection and Deletion System
The sketcher now includes a comprehensive selection and deletion system that allows users to select and remove elements from the sketch.
#### Selection Methods
1. **Single Element Selection**: Click on individual points or lines to select/deselect them
2. **Rectangle Selection**: Click and drag to create a selection rectangle for multiple elements
3. **Visual Feedback**: Selected elements are highlighted in yellow with increased size
#### Deletion Methods
1. **Keyboard Deletion**: Press Delete or Backspace to remove selected elements
2. **Proper Cleanup**: Elements are removed from both the sketch and constraint solver
3. **Dependency Handling**: Lines are deleted before points to maintain geometric integrity
#### Implementation Details
The selection system is implemented through the following components:
- **Selection Tracking**: `selected_elements` list tracks currently selected elements
- **Rectangle Selection**: `selection_rect_start` and `selection_rect_end` track rectangle selection bounds
- **Visual Feedback**: Modified drawing methods highlight selected elements in yellow
- **Keyboard Support**: `keyPressEvent` handles Delete/Backspace keys
- **Deletion Method**: `delete_selected_elements` handles removal of elements from sketch and solver
#### Selection Workflow
1. **Default Selection Mode**: The sketcher defaults to selection mode when no drawing tool is active
2. **Element Selection**:
- Click on points or lines to select/deselect them (they turn yellow)
- Click and drag to create a rectangle selection for multiple elements
3. **Element Deletion**:
- Press Delete or Backspace to remove all selected elements
- Elements are removed from both the sketch and constraint solver
4. **Visual Feedback**:
- Selected elements are highlighted in yellow
- Rectangle selection is shown with a yellow dashed border
#### Constraints Handling
When elements are deleted:
- Lines are removed first to avoid issues with points being used by lines
- Points are only removed if they are not used by any remaining lines
- The constraint solver is re-run after deletion to update remaining constraints
- Proper error handling ensures the UI remains responsive even if solver operations fail
### Mode Management System
The mode system has been enhanced to provide intuitive selection and deletion functionality:
#### Mode Compatibility
- Python `None` is automatically converted to `SketchMode.NONE` for backward compatibility
- The `set_mode()` method ensures the mode is always a valid `SketchMode` enum value
- Mode changes reset all interaction buffers and state
#### Default Selection Behavior
- `SketchMode.NONE` now serves as the default selection mode
- When no drawing tool is active, the sketcher is in selection mode by default
- Users can click on elements to select/deselect them (they turn yellow)
- Users can click and drag to create rectangle selections
- Pressing Delete or Backspace removes all selected elements
#### Right-Click Behavior
- Right-clicking **always** exits any active mode and returns to `SketchMode.NONE`
- This enables point dragging and prevents unintended geometry creation
- The mode reset happens directly in the sketcher, not through main app signals
#### Point Dragging Safety
- Point dragging is **only** enabled when in `SketchMode.NONE` mode
- Left-clicks in `NONE` mode check for draggable points first
- If no point is found, the click is processed as a selection operation
### Mouse Event Handling
#### Click Processing Flow
```python
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
local_pos = self._viewport_to_local(event.pos())
if event.button() == Qt.LeftButton:
self._handle_left_click(local_pos)
elif event.button() == Qt.RightButton:
self._handle_right_click(local_pos)
elif event.button() == Qt.MiddleButton:
self._start_panning(event.pos())
```
#### Enhanced Left-Click Handler
```python
def _handle_left_click(self, pos: QPoint):
# Safety check for NONE mode (dragging enabled)
if self.current_mode == SketchMode.NONE or self.current_mode is None:
point = self.sketch.get_point_near(pos, self.snap_settings.snap_distance)
if point:
self._start_point_drag(point, pos)
return
else:
# No point found - ignore click to prevent unintended drawing
return
# Handle active drawing/constraint modes
if self.current_mode == SketchMode.LINE:
self._handle_line_creation(pos)
elif self.current_mode == SketchMode.HORIZONTAL:
self._handle_horizontal_constraint(pos)
# ... other modes
```
#### Right-Click Mode Reset
```python
def _handle_right_click(self, pos: QPoint):
# Reset interaction state
self._reset_interaction_state()
# Force mode to NONE to enable dragging
self.current_mode = SketchMode.NONE
# Emit signal to inform main app
self.constraint_applied.emit()
```
### Point Dragging System
The point dragging system is optimized for performance and maintains constraint consistency:
#### Drag Phases
1. **Drag Start** (`_start_point_drag`):
- Identifies dragged point
- Stores initial position
- Sets dragging state
2. **Drag Update** (`_handle_point_drag`):
- Updates point visual position only
- Applies snapping
- No solver execution (for performance)
3. **Drag End** (`_end_point_drag`):
- Updates solver parameters with final position
- Runs constraint solver
- Updates all connected geometry
- Resets drag state
```python
def _end_point_drag(self):
if not self.dragging_point:
return
# Update solver parameters with final position
if self.dragging_point.handle:
new_x = self.dragging_point.x
new_y = self.dragging_point.y
self.sketch.set_params(self.dragging_point.handle.params, [new_x, new_y])
# Run solver to update all connected geometry
result = self.sketch.solve_system()
if result == ResultFlag.OKAY:
self.sketch_modified.emit()
```
## Rendering System
### Rendering Pipeline
The rendering system uses Qt's QPainter with a multi-layer approach:
1. **Coordinate System Setup**: Apply zoom, pan, and Y-flip transforms
2. **Background Rendering**: Grid, axes, and origin marker
3. **Geometry Rendering**: Points, lines, circles with proper styling
4. **Dynamic Elements**: Preview geometry during creation
5. **UI Overlays**: Mode indicators, measurements, snap highlights
### Rendering Layers
#### Layer 1: Background
- Coordinate axes (dashed gray lines)
- Grid (if enabled)
- Origin marker (red circle)
#### Layer 2: Geometry
- Construction geometry (green, dotted)
- Normal geometry (gray, solid)
- Constraint annotations
#### Layer 3: Interactive Elements
- Hover highlights (red)
- Dynamic previews (gray, dashed)
- Measurements during creation
#### Layer 4: UI Overlays
- Snap point indicators
- Mode and zoom information
- Status messages
### Styling System
Rendering appearance is controlled by the `RenderSettings` class:
```python
@dataclass
class RenderSettings:
normal_pen_width: float = 2.0
construction_pen_width: float = 1.0
highlight_pen_width: float = 3.0
normal_color = QColor(128, 128, 128) # Gray
construction_color = QColor(0, 255, 0) # Green
highlight_color = QColor(255, 0, 0) # Red
solver_color = QColor(0, 255, 0) # Green
dynamic_color = QColor(128, 128, 128) # Gray
text_color = QColor(255, 255, 255) # White
```
### Dynamic Previews
During geometry creation, dynamic previews show:
- **Line Creation**: Dashed line from start to cursor with length annotation
- **Rectangle Creation**: Dashed rectangle outline
- **Circle Creation**: Dashed circle with radius line and annotation
## Snapping System
### Snap Modes
The snapping system supports multiple simultaneous snap modes:
#### SnapMode.POINT
- Snaps to existing geometry points
- Priority: Highest
- Visual: Red circle highlight
#### SnapMode.MIDPOINT
- Snaps to line midpoints
- Priority: Medium
- Visual: Red diamond highlight
#### SnapMode.GRID
- Snaps to grid intersections
- Priority: Lowest
- Visual: Green cross highlight
#### SnapMode.HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL
- Angular snapping (future implementation)
- Constrains to horizontal/vertical directions
#### SnapMode.INTERSECTION
- Snaps to line intersections (future implementation)
### Snap Algorithm
```python
def _get_snapped_position(self, pos: QPoint) -> QPoint:
min_distance = float('inf')
snapped_pos = pos
snap_threshold = self.snap_settings.snap_distance
# Point snapping (highest priority)
if SnapMode.POINT in self.snap_settings.enabled_modes:
for point in self.sketch.points:
distance = math.sqrt((pos.x() - point.x)**2 + (pos.y() - point.y)**2)
if distance < snap_threshold and distance < min_distance:
snapped_pos = QPoint(int(point.x), int(point.y))
min_distance = distance
# Midpoint snapping (medium priority)
if SnapMode.MIDPOINT in self.snap_settings.enabled_modes and min_distance > snap_threshold:
for line in self.sketch.lines:
midpoint = line.midpoint
distance = math.sqrt((pos.x() - midpoint.x)**2 + (pos.y() - midpoint.y)**2)
if distance < snap_threshold and distance < min_distance:
snapped_pos = QPoint(int(midpoint.x), int(midpoint.y))
min_distance = distance
return snapped_pos
```
### Snap Settings
```python
@dataclass
class SnapSettings:
snap_distance: float = 20.0 # Snap threshold in pixels
angle_increment: float = 15.0 # Angular snap increment
grid_spacing: float = 50.0 # Grid spacing
enabled_modes: Set[SnapMode] # Active snap modes
```
## Working Plane Integration
### Projected Geometry Workflow
The sketcher integrates with 3D working planes through projected geometry:
1. **3D Geometry Selection**: User selects 3D lines/points in VTK widget
2. **Plane Definition**: System computes working plane from selections
3. **Geometry Projection**: 3D geometry is projected onto 2D working plane
4. **Sketch Import**: Projected geometry is imported as construction geometry
### Projection Import Methods
#### `convert_proj_points(proj_points)`
Imports projected 3D points as 2D construction points:
```python
def convert_proj_points(self, proj_points):
for point_data in proj_points:
if hasattr(point_data, 'x') and hasattr(point_data, 'y'):
point = Point2D(point_data.x, point_data.y, True) # Construction
self.sketch.add_point(point)
```
#### `convert_proj_lines(proj_lines)`
Imports projected 3D lines as 2D construction lines:
```python
def convert_proj_lines(self, proj_lines):
for line_data in proj_lines:
# Handle object format
if hasattr(line_data, 'start') and hasattr(line_data, 'end'):
x1, y1 = line_data.start.x, line_data.start.y
x2, y2 = line_data.end.x, line_data.end.y
# Skip degenerate lines
if abs(x1 - x2) < 1e-6 and abs(y1 - y2) < 1e-6:
continue
start = Point2D(x1, y1, True)
end = Point2D(x2, y2, True)
self.sketch.add_point(start)
self.sketch.add_point(end)
line = Line2D(start, end, True)
self.sketch.add_line(line)
```
### Construction vs Normal Geometry
- **Construction Geometry**:
- Rendered in green with dotted lines
- Used for reference and alignment
- Created from projected 3D geometry
- Flag: `is_construction=True`
- **Normal Geometry**:
- Rendered in gray with solid lines
- Part of the actual sketch design
- Created by user drawing actions
- Flag: `is_construction=False`
## API Reference
### Main Widget Class
#### ImprovedSketchWidget
**Initialization:**
```python
widget = ImprovedSketchWidget()
widget.show()
```
**Mode Control:**
```python
# Set drawing modes
widget.set_mode(SketchMode.LINE)
widget.set_mode(SketchMode.NONE) # Enable selection/dragging
widget.set_mode(None) # Also converted to SketchMode.NONE
# Construction geometry
widget.set_construction_mode(True)
```
**Snapping Control:**
```python
widget.set_snap_mode(SnapMode.POINT, True)
widget.toggle_snap_mode(SnapMode.MIDPOINT, enabled)
```
**View Control:**
```python
widget.zoom_to_fit()
```
**Sketch Access:**
```python
sketch = widget.get_sketch()
widget.set_sketch(imported_sketch)
```
### Sketch Management
#### ImprovedSketch
**Geometry Addition:**
```python
sketch = ImprovedSketch()
point = Point2D(10, 20)
line = Line2D(start_point, end_point)
circle = Circle2D(center_point, radius)
sketch.add_point(point)
sketch.add_line(line)
sketch.add_circle(circle)
```
**Constraint Application:**
```python
# Distance constraint
sketch.distance(point1.handle, point2.handle, 50.0, sketch.wp)
# Coincident constraint
sketch.coincident(point1.handle, point2.handle, sketch.wp)
# Line constraints
sketch.horizontal(line.handle, sketch.wp)
sketch.vertical(line.handle, sketch.wp)
# Solve system
result = sketch.solve_system()
```
### Signals
The widget emits several signals for integration:
```python
# Emitted when constraint is successfully applied
widget.constraint_applied.connect(callback)
# Emitted when new geometry is created
widget.geometry_created.connect(callback) # Parameter: geometry type string
# Emitted when sketch is modified
widget.sketch_modified.connect(callback)
```
## Performance Considerations
### Optimization Strategies
1. **Lazy Solving**: Solver only runs when necessary (after constraints or drag end)
2. **Efficient Rendering**: Uses Qt's optimized drawing primitives
3. **Smart Updates**: Only redraws affected regions when possible
4. **Handle Caching**: SolverSpace handles are cached to avoid recreation
### Memory Management
- Geometry objects use weak references where possible
- SolverSpace handles are properly cleaned up
- Qt objects follow parent-child hierarchy for automatic cleanup
### Scalability Limits
- Recommended maximum: ~1000 geometric entities
- Solver performance degrades with complex constraint networks
- Rendering remains smooth up to ~10,000 entities
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
#### Mode Handling Problems
**Symptoms**: Unintended line creation when dragging, tools not deactivating properly
**Causes**: Mode not properly reset to NONE, Python None vs SketchMode.NONE confusion
**Solutions**:
- Always right-click to exit active modes
- Ensure `set_mode(None)` is converted to `SketchMode.NONE`
- Verify mode state after tool deactivation in main app
#### Point Dragging Issues
**Symptoms**: Cannot drag points, dragging creates unwanted lines
**Causes**: Mode not set to NONE, safety checks preventing drag detection
**Solutions**:
- Verify current mode is `SketchMode.NONE` before attempting to drag
- Right-click to ensure proper mode exit from drawing tools
- Check that point detection threshold is appropriate
#### Solver Failures
**Symptoms**: Constraints not applied, geometry not updating
**Causes**: Over-constrained systems, conflicting constraints
**Solutions**:
- Check constraint compatibility
- Verify geometry validity
- Use `ResultFlag` inspection for error details
#### Coordinate Transform Issues
**Symptoms**: Mouse clicks don't match visual geometry
**Causes**: Incorrect transform calculations, zoom/pan state corruption
**Solutions**:
- Verify `_viewport_to_local` and `_setup_coordinate_system` consistency
- Reset view with `zoom_to_fit()`
#### Performance Problems
**Symptoms**: Slow dragging, UI lag
**Causes**: Solver running during drag, excessive redraws
**Solutions**:
- Ensure solver only runs in `_end_point_drag`
- Check render loop efficiency
- Profile with Qt performance tools
#### Snap Behavior Issues
**Symptoms**: Inconsistent snapping, incorrect snap points
**Causes**: Priority conflicts, threshold settings, coordinate errors
**Solutions**:
- Adjust snap threshold in `SnapSettings`
- Verify snap priority order
- Check coordinate conversion in snap calculations
### Debug Logging
Enable detailed logging for troubleshooting:
```python
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
logger = logging.getLogger('improved_sketcher')
```
Key log messages include:
- Geometry addition/removal
- Constraint application results
- Solver execution status
- Coordinate transformations
- Snap calculations
### Testing Guidelines
#### Unit Testing
- Test geometry classes with edge cases
- Verify coordinate transformations
- Test constraint application logic
#### Integration Testing
- Test with various sketch sizes
- Verify working plane integration
- Test complex constraint networks
#### Performance Testing
- Measure solver execution time
- Profile rendering performance
- Test with large geometry sets

## Recent Improvements (2025-08-16)
### Mode Handling Enhancements
Significant improvements have been made to the mode management system:
#### Fixed Issues
1. **Unintended Line Creation**: Resolved issue where dragging with line tool deactivated would still create lines
2. **Mode Reset Reliability**: Right-click now reliably exits any active mode and returns to NONE
3. **Backward Compatibility**: Python `None` mode values are automatically converted to `SketchMode.NONE`
4. **Safety Checks**: Added comprehensive checks to prevent drawing operations in NONE mode
#### Implementation Details
- Enhanced `_handle_right_click()` to directly set mode to NONE
- Added safety checks in `_handle_left_click()` for NONE mode behavior
- Improved `set_mode()` method to handle None input gracefully
- Added comprehensive debug logging for mode transitions
#### Integration Improvements
- Fixed main app integration where constraint modes were prematurely reset
- Ensured persistent constraint behavior until explicit user cancellation
- Maintained UI button state consistency with actual sketcher mode
These improvements ensure reliable mode transitions and prevent common user frustrations with unintended geometry creation.
## Conclusion
The ImprovedSketchWidget provides a robust, extensible foundation for 2D parametric sketching in Fluency CAD. Its architecture separates concerns effectively, uses proven libraries (SolverSpace, PySide6), and provides rich interaction capabilities while maintaining good performance characteristics.
The system is designed for extensibility - new geometry types, constraint types, and interaction modes can be added following the established patterns. The comprehensive API allows for both direct use and integration with larger CAD systems.
With the recent mode handling improvements, the sketcher now provides a more reliable and intuitive user experience, with proper separation between drawing modes and selection/manipulation operations.

Example of how to replace the existing sketcher in main.py
In main.py, replace this code:
```python\n from drawing_modules.draw_widget_solve import SketchWidget\n self.sketchWidget = SketchWidget()\n ```\n \n With:\n \n ```python\n from drawing_modules.improved_sketcher import ImprovedSketchWidget, SketchMode\n self.sketchWidget = ImprovedSketchWidget()\n \n # Connect to existing signals (adapt as needed)\n self.sketchWidget.constraint_applied.connect(self.draw_op_complete)\n self.sketchWidget.sketch_modified.connect(self.on_sketch_changed)\n \n # Connect toolbar buttons to new sketcher modes\n self.ui.pb_linetool.clicked.connect(lambda: self.sketchWidget.set_mode(SketchMode.LINE))\n self.ui.pb_rectool.clicked.connect(lambda: self.sketchWidget.set_mode(SketchMode.RECTANGLE))\n # ... etc for other buttons\n ```\n \n The improved sketcher provides these advantages:\n \n 1. **Better Architecture**: Clean separation of concerns, proper error handling\n 2. **Enhanced Features**: Rectangle and circle tools, improved constraints\n 3. **Better Performance**: Optimized rendering and interaction handling\n 4. **Extensibility**: Easy to add new tools and constraints\n 5. **Type Safety**: Proper type hints and validation\n 6. **Logging**: Built-in logging for debugging\n 7. **Settings**: Configurable snap and render settings\n \n Key differences to adapt:\n \n - Use SketchMode enum instead of string modes\n - Connect to new signal names (constraint_applied, geometry_created, sketch_modified)\n - Use set_mode() instead of individual mode methods\n - Access sketch data through self.sketch property\n - Use new geometry classes (Point2D, Line2D, Circle2D)\n """\n pass
