Prevent Unauthorized Edits to Modgens

You can prevent Modgen from unauthorized edits. If a user edits a Modgen by moving instances or body contacts or by stretching wires, the edit is ignored. When the Modgen is updated after such edits, the moved or stretched object are reset as per the constraint.

Instead of invoking the undo command, the Modgen layout is re-done according to the information in the constraint.

• If geometry is added or deleted from the Modgen, the Modgen constraint is disabled. This means that it is no longer a Modgen. However, it will remain a figGroup of type none.
• If the geometry is accidentally added or deleted, it can be removed or re-added by undoing the operation (or by pressing the u key). Invoking undo will remove (or re-add) the geometry and re-enable the Modgen constraint.
• If the geometry was added on purpose, you can exit the Modgen Editor and the result will be a standard figGroup.
  At this point, to turn the figGroup back into a Modgen, first edit the figGroup to remove (add) the added (deleted) geometry before re-enabling the Modgen constraint.
