Re: Version 0.22 Installer

I'd like the choice of hot keys or mouse.I absolutely long for an icon for a box zoom function and haven't seen too much preference for hot keys since the instructor on an Autocad course in the nineties got nostalgic about the skill needed to remember which keys did what compared to the new icons.

Re: Bug possible in Preference/Sketcher/Appearance

Our OP may have found much to like and I hope he enjoys the changes.for my part,it feels retrograde and I would like the option in preferences to lose the compacted nature of the Dimension icon and revert to the traditional style as it would save numerous mouse clicks.The same applies to the vertica...

Re: Sketcher Toolbars

I read this thread yesterday and have left it until emotions cooled down before adding anything.The original point about bundling so many useful constraints behind one icon was an irritation to me when I updated the appimage.I like the proposed layout that @chrisb put forward as it gets all of the i...

Re: Set path for Toolbit Library (Ubuntu Snap)

I had actually found the Better Tool Library add-on and installed it.The problem is that it doesn't seem possible to access it.It would appear to be just what I need and just out of reach.

Re: how to download and install an 'older' version of FreeCAD on Linux

Apologies for not telling you how to install an outmoded version.The more recent versions have so many improvements that it seemed cruel to deprive you of them.
