Hi all,
I have few suggestions for tree navigation in FreeCAD
1. Activating project
When there is a more than one project opened, there is a possibiilty to accidentally delete, copy etc. objects from NOT active, but visible tree of the another project.
Unfortunatelly I did it many times, so I have decided to write it here as an idea to improve FreeCAD.
There are two possibilites:
- disable actions on the not active projects
or
- make this second project active while such missclick - change of the screens helps to eliminates such mistakes.
2. Searching objects in the projects tree
I am working with PCB's when models usually contains more than 1000 elements. Each element is named like in eCAD software.
Finding on the PCB is easy, after click on this object, object in tree activates (is selected), but view of the tree dont' changes.
If node with this element is colapsed, selected object is invisible.
So my suggestion is to expand full node when clicking on the any object in the 3D view
or
make a simple Find in the tree using object name.
Regards
Mariusz
