Link to Part is labeled Part001. Not useful. How about fixing that?

[DeepSOIC]

Right now, creating a Link to Part makes the link labeled "Part001". Which is totally useless and confusing.

I propose prepending a dash to the name, so link to Part is labeled "-Part". This way I immediately see, what exactly the link is to.

Wait... if I create another Link to Part, it will then get a label "-Part001". That's even more confusing. Better suggestions?

Hmm for me the first link has the name Part001 and the second link Part002. The labels don't show any hyphens. But I agree that it should be more obvious which object a link is referring to. What about Link (Part), Link001 (Part), ...?

[DeepSOIC]

What about Link (Part), Link001 (Part), ...?

Okay.

Hello!

Also discussed on: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 7&start=30.

But on multi document it the naming works fine.

I don't know if it is possible but i would say add a new column(hidden by default) that create a feature or object count.

Code: Select all

part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(0)
part_b - Label_part_b - object_#(1)
part_c - Label_part_c - object_#(2)
link_to_part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(3)
link_to_part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(4)
link_to_part_b - Label_part_b - object_#(5)

When probably part_b is an assembly than

Code: Select all

part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(0)
ass_b - Label_part_b - object_#(1)
  |-ass_part_a - Label_ass_part_a - object_#(2)
  |-ass_part_b - Label_ass_part_b - object_#(3)
  |-ass_part_c - Label_ass_part_c - object_#(4)
  |-ass_part_b - Label_ass_part_b - object_#(5)
  |-ass_part_c - Label_ass_part_c - object_#(6)
  |-ass_part_a - Label_ass_part_a - object_#(7)
part_c - Label_part_c - object_#(8)
link_to_part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(9)
link_to_part_a - Label_part_a - object_#(10)
link_to_ass_b - Label_ass_b - object_#(11)
  |-ass_part_a - Label_ass_part_a - object_#(12)
  |-ass_part_b - Label_ass_part_b - object_#(13)
  |-ass_part_c - Label_ass_part_c - object_#(14)
  |-ass_part_b - Label_ass_part_b - object_#(15)
  |-ass_part_c - Label_ass_part_c - object_#(16)
  |-ass_part_a - Label_ass_part_a - object_#(17)

Etc.

This is more difficult for the short moment but in the long term better.

I can even imagine that it counts all the features in that way... but i can imagine that, that means a huge amount of rework...

But on multi document it the naming works fine.

It looks like if I relabel the Part to something sensible, the link naming is also fine. And I for sure do rename my parts (and bodies and master sketches), I just don't rename pretty much everything else.
