[Feature Request]: Path WB tool object description field.

Post by daddmac »

Easiest request you'll see! ;)

Would you please add a text/description field to the toolbit objects in the library.

My situation is that I'm added several, and they are shared by many people who don't know each other. I would add notes about the condition of them, how they work, historical usage, etc., but I'm sure there are many other uses for this feature that others would have.

I think the field would fit nicely under the "Parameter" section of the configuration. If this is too ambiguous I'll be happy to upload an image to illustrate the idea.

Thanks for taking the time to read and consider my request!

Thanks for the idea drmacro!

I don't see anyplace to do that, but I may be looking in the wrong place. This is what I see:

I'm fairly new to CAD/CAM, and may not know the correct words to describe what I see or want.

I was gonna say: "you can already do that with the PropertyBag" but then I realised the real feature request here is probably a property with a multi line text edit - which currently doesn't exist. I like it, could you file an issue in the bug tracker so we don't forget?
