More explicit workbench icon #310

Closed pierreporte closed 5 months ago

pierreporte commented 5 months ago

I propose new icons that show what kind of part is going to be made with the workbench, instead of some “construction work” pattern. The base shape is done with FreeCAD and the SheetMetal worbench, then colored in Inkscape.

It's a bit funny: 2 years ago or so, I changed the icon to something like you proposed, and I got rejects by the community, so I changed it back...

pierreporte commented 5 months ago

What were the arguments? You can hardly think of sheet metal when seeing the current icon for the first time.

shaise commented 5 months ago

Yes, I tend to agree. Specially since there is a talk to integrate this WB to core freecad. I need to check with someone, and if he agrees, I will merge it.

Things change :) I support this PR.

I've modified it a bit to follow https://wiki.freecad.org/Artwork_Guidelines Hope its OK, you can use this .svg if you like. Will redo the other icons next week to be consistent. preferences-sheetmetal
