Custom Workbench Issue

Post by PandorasBox »

I added the Draft-Clone and Draft-ToggleGrid tool as a custom workbench to my Part Design workbench, but I then found that whenever I boot up Freecad, which I have set to start up with the Part Design workbench, the Draft-Clone tools won't show up until I've switched to the Draft workbench at least once. (Additionally, if I just open up the Toolbar-->Customize window and tried to reveal the children in the tree of the custom workbench that I created, instead of seeing the tools I added, I see the following messages: "gui_clone module not loaded" and "gui_grid module not loaded.") Is this a known issue on 0.20.1, or is there a fix? Thanks.

This is a known issues since V0.19. The workaround is to preload the Draft Workbench. See Preferences_Editor#Workbenches
