Command context panels
A Command Context panel opens when a command starts and offers intermediate user interaction when executing a command.
A Command Context panel is a dockable panel. It appears at the same size and location as before it was closed or collapsed, and like any other dockable panel, the Command Context panel can be floating, docked or stacked.
The content of a Command Context panel depends on the active command. It can be categorized into three domains:
- Necessary steps, for example:
- Entity selection
- (Base) point selection
- Naming
- Choosing alternatives
- Settings, for example:
- On/off options
- Default values
- Tolerances
- Command progress, for example:
- Number of handled elements versus total number of elements to process.
- Progress meter.
