Lost workbench dropdown from UI

[falviani]

Hi,

My setup:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.17651 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 16c26cb3b1cd7209ea8efc8cb30b3b18fd80cf95
Python version: 3.6.8
Qt version: 5.12.1
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/United States (en_US)

I've been working on trying to do some non-text engraving in the path module (but that's another story) and when I opened FreeCAD this morning after turning on experimental features yesterday I do not have the drop down of workbenches in the UI. Turning off the experimental features and restarting had no effect. Trying the previous version I had (version 505) had no effect. I suspect something in the persistent settings has been updated/corrupted. How do I get the workbench drop down back? I've attached a screenshot of the current parameter settings (which also shows the lack of drop down menu..)

Thanks in advance,
Frank Alviani

RMB on area where toolbars should be, select appropriate toolbar?

In Edit menu -> preferences look for the reset button on the lower left. I think this resets all user preferences.

If that fails you can try renaming/deleting your config files. There is a macro findConfigFiles that can help locate them if you don't know where they are.

Check the view menu -> workbench as an alternative means of selecting a workbench.

I do not have the drop down of workbenches in the UI.

From the pull-down menu try View > Toolbars, then tick Workbench (and the others you'd like to see) to True.

Thought I had checked the toolbars submenu; obviously I hadn't. Thanks.

You're welcome, and I can tell you (from my own experience) that it's sometimes too easy to forget simple solutions.
