I recall that there have been some problems with the tool library locations for some linux distributions. I would take a close look to make sure you are trying to work with the correct location. It is possible that the "saved" file is getting lost.

Re: Minor correction of color in the Sketcher is required.

I've only compiled FreeCAD, and this happened. I haven't done anything else. It looks like you are using a preference pack or a theme of some sort. Therefore you "have" done something else. I run completely stock colors and the classic theme. As said above, the default colors work correct...

Re: Tech draw

Can someone assist please? You did not give enough information to say what might be causing your difficulty. What are you doing to "select" blocks and then "create" a plan view? If you have not done so, I strongly recommend taking a look at the TechDraw wiki. It is quite compreh...

What does that mean? I run lots of third-party software on Windows 11. I do not recall a single problem due to MS interference.

Select Pocket Shape and Enable Extensions.

That will allow the corners to be cleared. Without the extensions the default is to keep the tool completely inside the workpiece to avoid collisions with the machine or clamps.

Re: Path: Tool customization lost when transferring to another machine.

I would not expect your Sherline has an automatic tool changer, so I suspect you do not have hundreds or thousands of different tools to keep track of. Can't you just make the tool libraries the same on both computers one time and be done with it? There is no practical limit on the number of tools ...

Re: Additional selection capabilities

select all connected - select all edges connected to the clicked edge (yeah it stops when a non-coincident vertex is found) The Path WB has had this function for a long time. Requires selection of two adjacent edges, not one, but otherwise works quite well. I do not know what it would take (if anyt...

I am not sure I would call that an inconsistency. When in PartDesign one must follow the PD rules.

Clearly this is a program design choice, not a fixed natural law.

Re: What?

There is a good amount of detail about the tool setup in the Path wiki https://wiki.freecad.org/Path_Tools which should be fully translated. You should also be aware that there was a significant change in the structure of the Job more than a year ago, and it impacts version 0.21. You can read about...
