commands of CompCreateBSpline tools
on the opposite of other tools under Sketcher, the 4 tools under https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_CompCreateBSpline are receiving different name of command depending on from where you lauch it. why?
under Sketcher most of the tools start with 'Create...'
https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_CreateBSpline this one has command with 'Create...'
https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_CreatePeriodicBSpline this one has command with 'Create...'
https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_Creat ... erpolation starts with 'Interpolate...' why?
https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_Creat ... erpolation starts with 'Interpolate...' why?
can we uniformize this?

Re: commands of CompCreateBSpline tools
I think it's a good approach and not just within a single workbench.
The whole (meaning all modules) should blend together like individual cogs in a gearbox. Each is individual and different, but they all work together wonderfully and form an inseparable whole.
good job David.

Re: commands of CompCreateBSpline tools
I imagine that the ideal menu text "Create periodic B-spline by interpolation" was considered to be too long.

So what will the consensus be?

Re: commands of CompCreateBSpline tools
In my mind a better solution would be to combine the "periodic" with the "non-periodic" commands. The user would then have to click the first point (as is the case with Sketcher_Polyline) or press a certain key to close the spline. That would reduce the length of the menu texts AND the number of Sketcher commands.

Cool concept

Re: commands of CompCreateBSpline tools
good idea.
are you thinking about the total 4 B-splines or
only the 2 by interpolation or
the 2 by interpolation and the 2 non-interpolations?
interpolation is long and if I well remember, initially it was a matter of knots. I am not familiar with B-spline what is the most efficient for the user between the 2 vocables?
