Feature request: Embed LineGroup.csv like FCPAT.pat in the document

Post by IngoMeier »

Hi!

I would like to have the LineGroup.csv embedded like the FCPAT.pat.


Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Ingo

Do you have >1 person updating a document? That would be the use case where an embedded LineGroup would be most useful.

LineGroups are generally provide default line weights at object creation time. If you change LineGroups during an edit session the lines you've already created won't change.

All that said, this is a good idea. I'll add it to my TODO list, but it might be good to make a ticket so it doesn't get lost.

And I have another case:
When testing a new version of FreeCAD in a different folder and loading old files, FreeCad complains about missing "Line Set" (Sorry, can't remember the exact phrase).

Per the guidelines, please do not add your freecad info to your signature as it is dyanmic and subject to change, which will be confusing to anyone reading your older posts.
