Sketcher is doing this in the Geometry Taskbox. The list that displays the geometries. The icon' colors are being changed programatically. So your answer is there I guess.

And if, as said, you seems not work with CAD or FreeCAD at all, else you would not come often weird conclusion You keep trying to discredit me. Saying that my understanding of CAD gui is wrong. Well let's take an example : Sketcher_dimension, you have been vehemently against it. Saying the same: th...

I think in Piero's initial post, he does not ask to merge lattice as it is but rather what you are suggesting @user1234, improve pattern tools so that the functionalities covered by lattice are found in core

That's rich coming from you, everytime I try to remove a completely useless tool you jump in to explain the incredible value of said tool.

No, JUST NO. Stop with the willy-nilly "let's merge this workbench with that workbench". Gears are NOT fasteners. Fasteners aren't gears. Who said Gears are fasteners and fasteners are gears? I say gears are parts. Fasteners are parts. The primitive toolbar is basically a 'part toolbar'. ...

Thoughts on merging fasteners and gears in core Part Wb as single tools, each with its own taskbox letting you select the type and configure it?

While I do not know lattice wb and only had a quick look : - Merging lattice as it is not a good idea. But: - From what Piero69 says, I seem to understand that the core idea of lattice is to make complex patterns. And perhaps it could indeed fit in one well tought through tool/taskbox. In which case...

Sheet metal is better as a standa alone workbench. But Fasteners would be imo better as a part of assembly. Just one tool similar to what A4 is offering but with a proper taskbox would be enough.

During the dev of this feature (which was quite some time ago so I may not recollect precisely) but allowing open result was pretty buggy. I basically added to the UI only the options that were working properly.
It would be fairly easy to enable open result perhaps it won't be as bad as I remember.

Thank you for your replies.

You mean in Draft as domad suggest?
