Inbuilt scripts (macros) - better GUI access to for 0.12

Re:"Inbuilt scripts"

Hi Guys
I know its way too late but I have a feature request for 0.12!!!

Can we put some sort of link in the menu or something somewhere in the GUI to give access to the "built in scripts" in the modules?

Why: -
They are very impressive to a new user
It reminds people that the scripts are there
Not really a new feature, just advertising the existing feature

How: -
I'm open to suggestions
simple option: - A link to the various scripts directory from the "tools" menu, called something like "inbuilt scripts", or "Python script examples", or "inbuilt macros" or other
more involved option: - A new menu, or sub-menu possibly under "tools" menu, with links to each individual script, possibly all using the same (Python?) icon, or even better, but too much for now, different appropriate icons each


I thought I would throw this thought out there because I think it would make quite an impact for someone new looking into FreeCAD at first.

Hey Jim,

You should post a featur request on Mantis.

Another suggestion: a link through the Start Page?

OK Norm
will do

I thought I should put it out here first for a bit of input?

Also to be honest, I was half expecting you to tell be this is already is there somewhere and I was just being blind!

I have to go out for a few hours, I will post to mantis on my return.
