Re: How to Make Toolbars Stay Where I Put Them?

As a Work-round in 0.21.1 ticking the "Auto-Load" appears to keep WB menus where I want them between sessions.

Start Page - Recent Files - Showing reference images used within a Document

Hi, Upgraded to 0.21.0 from 0.20.2 in August. When I open FreeCAD the Recent Files view, as well as FreeCAD Documents, now also shows reference images used within a Document. (I don't recall image files showing on previous versions) I guess that this follows the revised way images are now imported, ...

Re: FreeCAD 0.21.0 Thumbnails and Combo View Startup [Bug/change?]

There is a setting in Preferences (General >> Document) that controls thumbnails. Make sure this is set to your liking. I believe there was some adjustment to exactly how the thumbnails work in version 0.21. You may need to test a couple of settings. Gene Hi Gene - as far as I can tell the preferen...

Re: How to Make Toolbars Stay Where I Put Them?

I have just migrated to 0.21.0 from 0.20.2 in Windows 7, so have just had to rearrange all the toolbars... Creating a new document and a simple sketch - and then ticking the Load option for the main workbenches in Preferences > Workbenches - seems to then keep the toolbar layout between sessions.

Re: FreeCAD 0.21 Release Candidate 1: Testers Needed

Re: 3D Models from only a few photos – Photogrammetry (& Hovercraft!).

It is the invention of Christopher Cockerell without question.(?) Gene It depends on one's definition of "What is a Hovercraft" as to "Who" did the inventing, and "When"... (and Who then wrote the history and Where) :? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hovercraft#History

Re: 3D Models from only a few photos – Photogrammetry (& Hovercraft!).

My apologies for the seemingly stupid OT question upfront, but I don't get this out of my head: can this be considered an invention of Sir Christopher Cockerell when he received the knight's honour only after (and in respect) he invented it or wouldn't it rather Mr. Christopher Cockerell's inventio...
