Hi i have been learning to use Assembly 3 and while i love the constraint based nature of it which ties in nicely to stuff like sketcher ie it makes all steps fairly logical once you have adjusted to using freecad.
I tend to find however it is a bit annoying that i need to keep the report view open cause i usually have it off as i need the extra vertical space in the UI and was wondering if it was possible just for simplicity sake instead of having the scroll through the report view as well as having to remember to clear the report view every now and again i thought it would be nice to have a sketcher like pop out / window with the info that would usually be in the report view in there instead and in there you can report what constraint the solver is working on when a error is thrown cause sometimes i get lost in the report view as to what constraint is throwing an error and it does not help that sometimes it does not show it with the warning icons in my tree. so for the most part when that happens i need to really carefully delete constraints and keep recomputing till the error goes away.
Anyway thought i would mention it as i thought it would be a nice addition to the assembly 3 workbench was not sure where else to put this as i don't use github much if ever.
just below are pictures of my freecad for reference cause i use the midnight ui which places everything vertical. Imo having sketcher there looks right at home in the assembly workbench if adapted.
To whom it may concern
