The issue i have with this system is that what for me is front for architect(for example) could be top.
So we have for ALL faces a list of all options...
My personal preference would be Plane plus direction
XY+ for example would be XY plane with positive Z direction etc.
I think if we want it as easy as possible for everyone use current 6 options with maybe one or two more (less than 10) with last option other what activate a text bar.

Re: NaviCube: improved style
I haven't explored FC's coordinate system. But yet it seems to me that until the world directions issue is solved globally like a unit system for all modules at once, there's no much benefit to having just custom cube labels. If there's no issue reported for it then maybe some should fill one.
Re: NaviCube: improved style
I agree. Like it or not, as it stands in FreeCAD, XY = top and YZ = right.
That being said, I still maintain that the labels on the cube should eventually be translatable. Autodesk products do it, the text is just a little smaller in French but easily readable. If I don't forget, I'll try to take a screenshot (I don't have any Autodesk software at home, just the way I like it ).
Re: NaviCube: improved style
I don't agree.
This ismy situation
my image comes from: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/resource.html ... 02.tif.jpg This is not XY (+Z) is top and YZ +X is right.
It is just that is not the same everywhere. FC has to deal with that.
edit: The image is related to the norm for car manufacurers how to deal with coordinate systems etc.

Re: NaviCube: improved style
They are translatable. Its just that the *.ts files don't have the right entries for them yet. Additionally I made the labels scale down automatically when they don't fit fully into the cube's face after the translation. They should look fine in all languages once the translation is updated.NormandC wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:36 am That being said, I still maintain that the labels on the cube should eventually be translatable.

Similar system is used in aviation.

finaly someone who agrees with me.
i felt a bit alone in this case

I still dislike FreeCAD's NaviCube. Can't it be pretty like OpenCASCADE's one? At least the text should look better (big capital letters, yuck).

Re: NaviCube: improved style
+1 for that. I really like the top and bottom right one , excellent readability and highlight on mouse over. In my opinion the solid look is less confusing. If not default it should be at least an option. Just my humble opinion.
