Improve constraint priority attachment in OPL

Actually we have to use OPL script to attach a relaxation priority to a constraint. It will be easier to attach this priority at the creation of the constraint. Reason is that a constraint tupleset can easily include a priority field: tuple rvCons...

PA Workspace: Resize and position items using percents or pixels

Currently the size and position of objects in Workspace can only be done by drag and drop, which is not very accurate. This makes it hard to create a uniform appearance. Therefore it would be better to be able to Resize and position items using pi...
