hi again
is it just me , when i create length /distance presets value it gets removed or it diddnt saved if i close blender without saving

Note :
#1 iddnt save the .blend file because i want to make library preset or load automatically every .blend i work on

#2 i am using version 2.9

Thanks for asking a question. Especially thank you for making this video. It makes your question clearer. Now I will explain to you why your presets have not been saved.

To create a “LIbrary Presets”, I used the preset menu. This is a special type of menu that blender API has. As I understand it, he has a specific behavior.

In order to create a preset, you first need to create a list of presets(Length / Distance Presets or Angle Presets) and only then add this preset to Library Presets.

If you are in a certain preset (Length / Distance Presets or Angle Presets) and make changes to it, these changes will not be saved. To save them you need to click the overwrite button

thank you it works now perfectly

Set Precise Mesh /CAD 1.2.2

  • UI Changes
  • Now you can choose which axis “Set Mesh Position” operator will use
  • “Set the Cursor to the normal” can work with several vertices/edges/faces (In pop-up menu You can choose from what element to take normals and operator will calculate common normal) Note: Operator will tryto detect from what element to calculate normal and You not need to choose every time from what element to calculate normal
  • “Advanced input” now has two abbreviations(“u” and “unit”) u = length/angle and unit = length/angle

It seems something wrong with Pop-up menu, not appearing (ver 1.2.2)

Thank you for writing about this bug. I updated the code. Try it now

Hello,
keymap name in Keymap Editor, I think need to rename to something similar to Addon name, maybe to “Set Precise”, and for all without “Pop-up Menu” at the beginning if possible, this only for Keymap tab, in Addon tab it’s ok
