70001065 Action parse to accept values from a keybord input

Summary

Action parse to accept values from a keybord input and finish the action

Solution

A new property vdrawObj.ActiveAction().parse("") that parses the passed command string and finish the action, was added in version 7011.0.4
For example user can pass a text input from a textbox in the following form

1.  x,y,z coordinate values
      separate values by ',' symbol
      vdcanvas.ActiveAction().parse('5.5,2.1,0.5');

2.  distance < angle polar values
      distance is a double value in drawing units
      angle is a double value in degrees
      separate values by '<' symbol
      vdcanvas.ActiveAction().parse('7.8<45.0');
3.  Xoffset,Yoffset relative values
      vdcanvas.ActiveAction().parse('@2.5,3.7');
      NOTE: A prefix '@' is needed


Example for how to use:
We create in HTML a textbox and a button like below.
 input type="text" id="parseStr" style="width: 70px" 
 input type="button" onclick="parseString()" style="width: 70px" align="center" value="Parse" 

And then in script we call the function which fires when we click the button.



function parseString() {

            var str = document.getElementById('parseStr').value;
            vdcanvas.ActiveAction().parse(str);
        }



When for example we begin a user line vdcanvas.scriptCommand.line(),before we click for the first or the second point of the line we can click the "Parse" button 
and use the user's  coordinates for first and second point.
So now for example we can create a line from (-1,2) to (3,4)
