PieMenu (v2.0)

Post by mdkus »

Hi,

as new maintainer of the PieMenu addon, which can be installed via the Addon Manager, i'd like to introduce the development plan for the future.

The goal is to combine the advantages of triplus' earlier PieMenu module and realthunder's integrated PieMenu in 'FreeCAD Link' and go further beyond. It intends to be a pure python module which can be installed via the Addon Manager.

Actually I can say, that the upcoming version 1.2 will contain invokable pie menus with different short keys. First tests are positive. :)

The development process is accomponied by my YouTube channel, where tutorial videos are shown.

Feel free to make suggestions or any other comments.

Greetings

Michael

Post by mdkus »

Hi,
v1.2 is released. Toolbar pie menus can now be saved and customized with the preferences dialog.
Try it out. :D
A tutorial can be found here. Pie menus with different short keys will come later... :roll:

@mdkus
Can you implement the code to use del key or context menu (right click) to remove an item from a pie menu? I think right now, i need to uncheck unwanted item from a list in Tools tab and the list is quite long.

A custom short keys to call up different pie menus is indeed a handy feature. Is adding a macro to Pie menu on your road map?

An additional button to remove a selected item will come in the next days update. Custom short keys for different pie menus next year. Before that workbench specific pie menus are planned. Macro to pie menu may be later...

A new version with del key is released. Look here for further informations.

@MisterMaker
It seems there is a problem left with exclusive action groups. Any idea? Otherwise I can avoid using this method of showing checked items.

Not clue what's happened. However I installed it, then with some help here in this forum I've made it work.

but then after some trial, didn't work any longer.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, without being successful
Pressking TAB nothing pop's up.
But it's present on Accessories ...
