Pie Menu: not able to make it work

Post by BartR »

I installed the Pie menu, that offer a radial context menu, I saw on many tutorials.

but, beside te fact I got it on Accessories menu, I'm not able to visualize it.
When I right click, I get the classical standard FreeCAD menu instead of the Pie.
I didn't find further instructions on the github page so I'm wondering if I am doing something wrong.

The instructions on the Piemenu github say: "Press the Tab key on the keyboard to invoke PieMenu."

Nice it worked 5 minutes :D :D :D I don't know what's happened, but now even with TAB it doesn't run any longer.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. No way.

Ok it could be a great solution, now it remains only a "could be"
