The property "View/Section View" is set to whatever value is set in the preferences on new sketches and correctly applied to existing ones when pushing the "apply to sketches" button. But even when set to true, section view is not applied when opening a sketch. The property does...

@heda, Thanks for your suggestion, and I like your more concise formulation of the macro. I tried it myself exactly as you wrote it, both with and without the Gui.updateGui() line, and the behavior is identical to my original... executing as a full macro results in a blank (colored background only)...

My guess is that it's a problem of Y geometry. As clipping plane dock panel appears, it has a (quite significant) minimum Y size and it forces main window to increase vertically, pushing the status bar out of the visible area of the screen. What happens if you set the clipping plane dialog floating,...

There is no way for Draft to detect when a new document is created, unless we set up a document observer. At that time, I though this would be overkill, and preferred to have a check at the beginning of each Draft command to check and display the grid if needed. But document observers have evolved ...

Here's the basic fix as a PR : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/5427 However I found 2 inconveniences with Draft grid : * If Draft is already activated as a WB, when you create a new document grid isn't displayed, even if active. You have to disable + enable it again to get it. * When the siz...

What does seem to work: toggling "Show hidden items" twice. Yes, seems to be a bug where display isn't updated when you click "Hide item". Eventually you can raise a ticket. ;) It would be great, if there was some indicator, that below the Extrude is something hidden. Indeed, wh...

The easy way is to Part/Compound (or Part/Union, or set in a Part container) both leg and foot, then apply the rotation to the compound.
Other wise you'll get some mathematical computation needed.

It seems that the Sketcher preference "Open sketch in Section View mode" has no effect. I always have to select "view section" (or hotkey Q, S) after opening a sketch even when the option is set. Can't reproduce. Could you : * update FreeCAD ? * screenshot your Sketcher/Display ...

If someone want to disable, the parameter switch is documented : Fine-tuning

PR setting single click selection has been (fixed and) merged by @wmayer this weekend.
