Passmarks on Hems

[legija]

Currently, the passmarks tool works great. However, there are some minor issues.

This is a real-world case that would be great to have fixed asap-ish :)

When you make a hem using the custom seam allowance tool, and designate the corner point as a passmark, the passmark ends up in the corner of the newly created hem. This is kind of useless.

In a production/factory scenario, ideally, you'd have a notch indicating where the hem starts horizontally, and where the seam ends vertically. This way the seamstresses don't have to think, which is good :)

Attached a .val file for example and an edited picture of how ideally this could be fixed on a corner passmark.

This not only applies to the hem, but also the top neck seam on a jacket.

Maybe a new type of passmark labeled "corner passmark" could be added to fix this? This variation would add a passmark horizontally on the seam, and vertically on the hem.

Of note: in a factory scenario, patterns do not get plotted, they get cut on a big machine. Seamstresses never get to see the pattern (apart from some optional paper templates to check crucial curves or corners (like lapel and button placement).

With a "corner passmark" a seamstress can easily see how big the seam allowance/hem is and where the previous seam/hem ends.

Good idea.

But how will look a passmark if a seam allowance is built in? I mean a shape already contains seam allowance.

That's a good question. Very rarely I think do people create a hem/seam like this case without also creating some extra points and lines which then indicate where the hem/seam ends/starts. So in that case, one would already have added notches where he would want them.

Alternatively a point can be made that a corner notch is useless if it's hiding in a corner of the seam, where it indicates nothing. It could then default back to 1cm each way on each seam, unless specified otherwise in the seam allowance dialog.

great stuff Roman!

Revert previos changes. ref #668.

Do not ignore nodes if a passmark is part of main path.
