Getting rid of user defined symbols ...

[r-frank]

Hello.

You can attach an icon (a symbol) to a macro.
You have the possibility to add new symbols to the FreeCAD-internal library.

I have played around a lot and now this library is crowded with unwanted symbols.

Can I delete them manually ?
Or do I have to reinstall FreeCAD to get a default library ?

Thanks for answers/suggestions.

If your talking about Icons you added to the Macros in the Customize Toolbar dialog, the Icons you added are not in the same place as the default Icons for FreeCAD. On my system (Kubuntu Linux) the Icons I add are in my ~/.FreeCAD/Icons folder and yes, those can be added to and deleted at will. FreeCAD's default Icon set is compiled into FreeCAD at build time and as such, are not really editable. So is short, yes, you can delete the ones that you added and are no longer using.

Hello mark.

Sorry for being unprecise.

Yes I mean those Icons.
I did search in all places under Windows 7 and ended up with nothing ...

So where is this Icon-Import-directory under Windwos ?
Anybody any idea ?

Thanks.

After applying logic to the search i found it

Under Windows, in
C:\Users\My_Windows_User_Name\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\user.cfg

There is a section like

<FCParamGroup Name="Bitmaps">
<FCText Name="CustomPath0">P:\CAD-3D\FreeCAD\Wiki</FCText>
<FCText Name="CustomPath1">P:\CAD-3D\FreeCAD\Test</FCText></FCParamGroup>

telling FreeCAD to look in these directories for all type of icons (PNG and SVG).
