Summary0001648: Sketcher: New constraints are remain even though cancel is pressed when sketcher asks for length
DescriptionWhen adding a length constraint on a line, a dialog asking for the length appears. Press cancel in this dialog -> I would expect the newly created constraint to be automatically removed, but it remains with its initial value.

That's not a bug that's intended behaviour.

In the past when adding a new constraint we didn't show a dialog and just left the default value. Some people were not happy with this because they wanted to change the length, angle, ... immediately and had to double-click the new item each time. That's why we started to show the dialog with the current length, angle, ... as default and the user can change it or just leave the default.

On the undo stack this creates two actions when changing the value or one action when leaving the default.

Then there is still a way to force the old behaviour without showing the dialog. You have to set the key "ShowDialogOnDistanceConstraint" to 0 at the path "User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Sketcher/General".

If you think this behaviour should be changed then it's best to discuss this on the forum.
