Hi Franck.
You created a dedicated Forum thread and that is great. This forum section is used for announcing features:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=9
And highly likely your new feature will get featured in Release notes for FreeCAD 0.19.

Thanks for this. I was missing this feature.fjullien wrote: ↑Mon Mar 11, 2019 9:51 pm I creted a PR here: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/2013
Maybe in the future, you could add:
1) Option to change the arrow for a dot.
2) Option to change the radius of the balloon to 0. This way the arrow line can be used with a text block https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/TechDraw_NewAnnotation

@bitacovir: sure, I'll add a lot of features once I get the main code upstream.

Re: Help on TechDraw source code
Hi,
I tried to use the balloons for a drawing today.
The thing i struggled most with was the positioning of the end of the arrow/dot. Ist there some trick how to position it by mouse?
I finally used the x/y coordinates in combo-view which is a bit cumbersome.
Thanks in advance,
HoWil

Hi,
Yes, there is a trick. I don't know how/where to document this but you need to CTRL + label drag to move the ballon symbol.
If it doesn't work, please post your file is possible.

Can you decide on a name for this tool?wandererfan wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:02 pm TechDraw_Dimension_Balloon and TechDraw_Module
I've made placeholders.
Currently, the source says this
Code: Select all
sWhatsThis = "TechDraw_Balloon";
The icon image is also "TechDraw_Balloon.svg".
However, it can still be changed.
I personally think it would make sense for it to be something like "TechDraw_Annotation_Balloon", as it's more like an annotation than a dimension.

Re: Help on TechDraw source code
If no other Balloons have to be documented separately: I'm always thinking of "TechDraw Balloon" as its natural name.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
