Hi all
Was there anything wrong with these icons or the associated code in my branch?

These listed below are the versions I used in my branch, I don't mind if you want to use different version which I posted or something else. I'll make new ones if you have a problem with one or some of them, if you like?

Jim

I did not know about the make compound function in the Part-Workbench until recently, as I used only tools with an icon.
So I really welcome icons for the functions, which do not have one.

Another time it can be helpful is if you want to make a custom tool bar. For example if you often find you want to use a small number of functions of a different workbench from within another workbench, you can make a custom tool bar with those functions of the other workbench. e.g add Draft Array to the Part workbench....or add Part "check geometry" to PartDesign workbench or Draft etc.

These icons look good to me, besides I won't criticize if I'm not willing to design alternatives :D

I'm just worried the reverse shape icon looks a lot like the refresh/recompute icon. Also, does this tool work on edges?

Hi Norm, I took a while to answer that, I had to experiment.

It used to do so in 0.13, I don't know if it is still doing so in 0.14 or not, because the Part Ruled Surface tool has changed its behaviour. The picture shows what 0.13 used to do, but now 0.14 seems to automatically work out which vertex is the best to link to which other vertex.

This below is what it looks like in 0.13 if one line is reversed and you use Part Ruled Surface

this is the same file as above in 0.14Dev from today, at first it opens the file the same as 0.13 but then if you force a recompute by adjusting a parameter it changes it to what it would do if you had just used Part Ruled Surface in 0.14dev.

then if you open the file again in 0.13 it looks as you saved it in 0.14...once again if you recompute it goes back to twisted shape as 0.13 first made.
