Exclude the moving shared joint from magnetic targets and preserve exact off-grid endpoints
- Problem
- Endpoint dragging combines a grid, magnetic nearby vertices and shared joints. Coincident vertices belonging to the joint being dragged must not attract the handle back to its source position, and grid rounding must not destroy an exact off-grid target connection.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- Capture the source geometry once at mouse-down. Treat every source endpoint coincident with the moving endpoint as part of the moving joint and exclude the whole group from magnetic targets. Resolve a nearby eligible visible target before grid quantization and retain its exact coordinates. If direction is constrained, only attract targets on that axis; otherwise fall back to grid rounding. Keep preview read-only and commit shared-joint updates as one validated, undoable operation against the captured document state.
- Conditions and limitations
- A planar editor stores oriented segments with shared coincident endpoints. Grid snapping and magnetic endpoint attraction can be enabled together. A direction constraint must preserve the original segment axis.
