Toolbars - set instead of increase & decrease
Hi there,
ever tried to set a specific value by a toolbar action? Like a rotor / piston speed / distance / limit / autopilot speed...?
All we got are those increase & decrease actions - we're not able to actually set a specific value. Those steps amost never match our application, roughly increase & decrease steps isn't enginneer-like. Engineers use precise values.
This is what this suggestion is about. Adding an value dialog box when putting a value set action on a toolbar - just like the dialog which opens when you put a programmable block run cation on a toolbar.
Sure you can use a programmable block to apply the desired value to the block and put the programmable block run on the toolbar - but on most servers programmable blocks are disabled.
Sure you can use a timer block to spam increase / decrease as often as you want it to actually get a desired value - but this sounds kind of unsafe and as said the step sizes mostly don't match your value.
Following screenshot should make it clear:
Kind regards,

I like this idea, but I'd suggest not getting rid of the increase/decrease options. Depending on what you're doing you might want to throttle up/down rather than just instantly setting a value. Having the option to either set the value or increase/decrease it would be the best solution.
