Cool! I'll see how much of that could be integrated.
I've rebased the branch on master and fixed a few minor issues.
@phkahler I'm tempted to avoid changing the way we handle adding constraints until we do something to solve #121 properly, which requires even more infrastructural work. (Unfortunately #492 has problems...
Hmm, what entity types would I be using? The COPY ones? Or just the existing ones, but somehow tell the solver they should be fixed in place?
Ok I see now. I misunderstood how linking SolveSpace models worked.
STEP is the de-facto interchange standard for things like connectors. Everything in the McMaster-Carr catalogue has a STEP model. And you can extract features from STEP, so you can constrain...

I guess, but I'm still not convinced that STL linking has such a high utility. It's an output format for manufacturing, not an interchange format.
