how do i fix this The code of each addon needs to be updated with new name, or ideally to use either old or new to cater for older versions of FreeCAD. This is done in each workbench init python code, which is why I pinged the authors of each workbench to alert them of this need. I did have a quick...

Re: no path

Addons, such as @dubstar-04 Feeds and Speeds Addon and @knipknap Tool Library no longer appear in menu, due to the name change.

Re: Path LeadInOut obj.UseMachineCRC has disappeared

I had to search to find what the UseMachineCRC was (cutter compensation ) Most likely post I found was Expert Feedback needed: LeadInOut dressup , which indicates implementing that way will cause significant issues and suggests better ways to do it, including have the dressup use whatever is set in ...

Re: Bug? Use of %O variable in gcode file output

Re: CNC Tool Library and Toolbit - impossible to use

CNC Tool Library and Toolbit ...has both a Library and a Toolbit manager.

All it takes to do either of these tasks is clicking on Path Menu items.
