Summary | 0003873: missing tooltips in the Draft preferences | ||||
Description | This bug collects missing and unclear tooltips in the Draft preferences. Missing or incomplete tooltips will be denoted in the Wiki page: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Preferences_Editor as '??' until information is available. If so, I will post them to this bug report to be implemented in form of tooltips. In the DWG preferences: The following tooltip has a typo: - Path to ODA (formerly Teigha) File Converter -> should be "Path to ODA file converter" (no capitals and the renaming was done 5 years a go so no need to mention it anymore) More tooltips will be reported the next days. | ||||

In the DXF preferences: Probably outdated are the tooltips for: - Use legacy python importer -> is the new C++ importer still really not as feature-rich that it is worth to mention this? - Allow FreeCAD to automatically download and update the DXF libraries -> I did not need to install anything to import DXF file or did FC only not tell me? Moreover, the existing tooltip has wrong HTML paragraph breaks in is. - Group layers into blocks -> in the Draft Wiki pages a feature or property named Draft Block is nowhere mentioned. - Treat ellipses and splines as polylines -> Are ellipses and splines still poorly supported? Typos are in: - Allow FreeCAD to automatically download and update the DXF libraries -> wrong HTML paragraph breaks - Join geometry -> should be: "If checked, FreeCAD will try to join coincident objects into wires. Beware, this can take a while." - Treat ellipses and splines as polylines -> should be: "Ellipse and spline export is poorly supported. Use this to export them as polylines instead." - Max Spline Segment: -> should be: "When exporting splines to DXF as polylines this value is the maximum length of each of the polyline segments. If 0, then the whole spline is treated as a straight segment." - Export 3D objects as polyface meshes -> should be: "If this is checked, all objects containing faces will be exported as 3D polyfaces" - Export Drawing Views as blocks -> should be: "If this is checked, drawing views will be exported as blocks. This might fail for post DXF-R12 templates." |

In the SVG preferences: These tooltips miss information: - Import style -> The tooltip doesn't tell that this also affects the line width. - Export style -> It is unclear what the difference between "Translated (for print & display)" and "Raw (for CAM)" is. Probably outdated is the tooltip for: - Max segment length for discretized arcs -> the tooltip doesn't say what OCC version does not support arcs. Maybe all recent OCC versions support arcs so that this option is no longer necessary? Typos are in: - Use default color and linewidth -> should be: "Use default color and line width" (there is a space in "line width") - Original color and linewidth -> should be: "Original color and line width" - Max segment length for discretized arcs -> The tooltip is too long, so a line break '\n' is missing. It should also read: "...version of Open CASCADE doesn't support..." For reference about missing info for the Draft tooltips see https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Preferences_Editor#Import-Export_settings |
