So it looks as if there may be 3 (4?) versions around (inc the version in
RT’s branch). Would it be appropriate to generate a features comparison
table. And also approach all those involved with the developments and see if
the improvements could be combined into a common addon, hopefully
improving the user experience and minimising developers time?
Well, clearly every fork has increased the capabilities of the prior version, what should be made is to update on addon manager and maybe create a wiki page documenting it?
Grub are you interested on becoming the new maintainer for PieMenu workbench, I saw you have made huge improvements here. The last time that was done when PieMenu was updated. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons/issues/202
mdkus Any thoughts about this?
PD: I’m interested to add translation capabilities.
How to open a custom pie menu depending of the workbench?
Ex.
In part design open my part design pie menu
In sketch open my sketch design pie
In sheet metal workbench open my sheet metal custom pie menu
At the moment this is not an existing feature, it could be subject to future development if many users request it.
Only the sketcher has its own menu bar at this moment…
As a workaround, you must assign a different shortcut depending on the toolbar of each workshop.
+1 to the possibility of a unique shortcut for contextual pie menus. I think that having to press different keys in different WB makes you slower and prone to mistakes. Although the option of a different key has to be maintained for general pies like one for WB switching as madcello say.
When I learnt Solidworks, I could be pretty fast with their pie menu bound to the right-button mouse and a trigger on hover. I think is more “natural” because all the action happens on your mouse hand. Don’t know if this is possible to achieve.
But, whatever the case maybe, you have done a very nice job. Congrats
Using the right click is not possible in the current state of development of Freecad because it competes with the current functions of the right click implemented in Freecad: context menu, cancellation of the current tool in the Sketcher etc.
