context menu missing icons Partdesign item in Assembly

Post by jmaustpc »

The context menu in tree view can show these three items with no icons... best to look at the picture..could someone tell me how they are intended to work? So I can workout what an icon might look like. These menu items only come up when I am in PartDesign workbench ...so possibly a question for Jan?

They look like they are for manipulating the contents of a Body

The first one
Insert here

this one is the only one there if I right click on the body ...is it for inserting an object into a body?



the second
Move object to other body
is obvious and I made this icon

the third
Move object after other object
Is this just reordering the display order of an object within the Body or does it do something more functional?

I have been trying to use them but they seem to either do nothing or sometimes crash FreeCAD, so I thought I would ask.

I don't know if we will need up needing any or all of these, but I thought I would post them here for others to see. The SVGs are zipped up as well, just in case anyone wants them.

firstly new versions of "move to other Body" in my last post

firstly flipped sides, looks better as it is closer to what the treeview looks like

An icon for "insert here" ...to insert something into a body

"Move Object after other Object" ...don't know what that is supposed to do but I came up with this for reordering the list within a Body.

All the above zipped up in SVG format

Anyway I thought these might be useful in the future either directly or as inspiration for something else.
