New export: Export details without layout.

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

In some cases users may want export without creating a layout. Good choice if you don't care about printing or want rearrange manually and current layout step is just wasting of time.

[Susan Spencer]

Will this feature print the detail pieces as they are displayed in Details mode?

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

Good question. I think no, because in this case user can get overlapped details. Better position them according bounding rect.

[Susan Spencer]

The detail pieces will be arranged using bounding rects, vertical gap width, and horizontal gap width.

Question: Will the user be asked to provide dimensions for the base size of the export file, similar to the layout dialog?

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

No. This feature is not for printing. We will use size of scene.

[Susan Spencer]

Okay, viewable on screen or saving to file. The word 'export' threw me off.

[Susan Spencer]

For clarification, when overlapped detail pieces are re-positioned, will the size of scene will be adjusted?

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

Yes, but only to fit them all.

I'm working on a jeans pattern with quite a few pieces and I need to order them manually anyway to use the least amount possible of paper. So it's a super functionality because in this case I don't need the layout part.

I just tried it, and in the result the pieces are quite overlapped. It looks like they are positionied like in the draw mode. I would have expected the pieces to be positioned more like in the Details-mode.

I uploaded the .val, .vit and the .svg result. Is this how it's supposed to be?

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

No, this is a bug.

[Roman Telezhynskyi]

Pieces should be positioned as on Detail mode. ref #660.
