 - in Geometry Editor for the Path tool fixed an issue with path projection when changing the grid size while the Path tool is active
 - in Geometry Editor, for Path tool, added UI that close on end of the Path tool action; it displays the projected length which now is kept for as long as it is wanted, allowing for path automation in case of repetitive lengths
 - solved a ZeroDivisionError exception in the Geometry Editor -> Path Tool
-
+- in Geometry Editor, for Path tool, added the ability to differentiate between creating a multidigit number for the projection and starting a new number (for a new segment)
