Any necessity for issue #3016 to stay open?
Completely missed this note.
It is close to be complete because I am already at the last task - the preferences. (Expect some PRs with tooltip changes)wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 12:34 amThe td wiki still needs work, but it will probably never be 100% finished.
If I look at the UI file (DlgPrefsTechDraw1.ui) I see 8 in the value parameter of the Gui::PrefQuantitySpinBox. Where does the 0mm come from?uwestoehr wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 10:55 pm1. The default "Label Size" is "0.000mm", see https://wiki.freecadweb.org/File:TechDr ... ences1.png This seems incorrect because that would means label are invisible but they have actually a size
The code that loads the combo box supports translation now, so we can use whatever text we want. The text isn't used in the program logic. ArrowPrefEnum.cpp and DrawGuiUtil.cpp provide the display text for all instances of arrow selection.2. the arrow ends are displayed with a underscore e.g. "Filled_Arrow", see https://wiki.freecadweb.org/images/c/c3 ... ences3.png
maybe this can be changed to use a space instead of an underscore?
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#PenCapStyle-enum. We added this for a user that was making life sized stencils and the default round caps were throwing off his measurements. The tooltip should probably read "leave this alone unless you KNOW you need to change it".3. I don't understand what the Advanced option "Edge End Cap" does. Its tooltip says "Used for 1:1 scale stencil making". What does this mean?
Thanks. The fix is now part of PR https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/3161wandererfan wrote: ↑Fri Mar 13, 2020 12:33 amArrowPrefEnum.cpp and DrawGuiUtil.cpp provide the display text for all instances of arrow selection.
Thanks, that makes it clear.
Seam is a boundary between faces. Smooth line is "a line indicating a change between tangent surfaces, as in the transition from a flat surface to a fillet.a line indicating a change between tangent surfaces, as in the transition from a flat surface to a fillet."
u&v are traditional variables for surface parameters. Isoparametic lines connect points on faces' edges that have the same parameter value. Abbreviation should be iso or Iso as in isobars or isotopes.5. what is a "UV ISO line"? What means "lines of equal parameterization"
6. What is a "ISO line"?
The display equivalent of 0.1 mm on the printed page. Will vary depending on zoom level (and maybe display resolution?). Bigger number means easier to select.9. what is the unit for "Edge Fuzz" and "Mark Fuzz"?
I had hoped to implement it, but it didn't make it. It is related to difficulties in selecting items when their pick radii overlap.10. will "Overlap Radius" be implemented for FC 0.19? if not, it should be removed from the preferences and added once it is available.
this is fixed.12. Bug: The color for "Geometric Hatch" is not used but the "Section Hatch" color -> bug report: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=44201
Only applies if the section face option is "solid color".13. What effects the "Section Face" color? I cannot figure out what faces will get the color.
The line in the base view showing where the section plane cuts the original figure. Not sure why we need anything other than black, but the option has been there for a long time.14. What effects the "Section Line" color? I cannot figure out what lines will get the color.

Then let's just remove it from the UI file for now. OK that I make a PR?I had hoped to implement it, but it didn't make it.

I cannot find a way to get this color on creation time. When I create a new section View I always get the section cut hatched. Where can I set that new sections get the cut plane colored?Only applies if the section face option is "solid color".13. What effects the "Section Face" color?

There is a bug because setting the color to blue, creating a new section view does not color the section line. Also, the view containing the section line has no property to change the section line color.The line in the base view showing where the section plane cuts the original figure.
