Description

Documents several Sketcher 1.2 features not yet covered by existing PRs, as part of the Sketcher Workbench bounty (#94).

Changes

  • Added 1.2 rework note: OVP support, Polyline Parameters section with Type combobox and Fillet checkbox, improved autoconstraints
  • Added Pos-OVP / Dim-OVP explanation
  • Added steps for picking points with OVP input
  • Documented the Type combobox as an alternative to the M key for mode selection
  • Documented the Fillet checkbox

Sketcher_Preferences.wikitext — Add Font name preference (FreeCAD PR #26600):

  • Added Font name {{Version|1.2}} entry on the Display page, after Font size
  • Describes the font family preference that controls label font face in addition to font size

Sketcher_Dialog.wikitext — Document constraint type in name (FreeCAD PR #26797):

  • Added note that constraint type is now displayed in the constraint name in the list (e.g. ConstraintN: Distance)

Sketcher_Dialog.wikitext — Document double-click rename for geometric constraints (FreeCAD PR #27678):

  • Added note that double-clicking a geometric constraint now triggers the rename action

Do not add T tags yourself; only modify the files in the wiki root directory, do not touch the translation files. Please check the latest version and ensure that the information you are adding has not been added previously. Also, be sure to cite the source of your change. Regression corrections should not be added to the documentation.

Thanks for the review. I updated the PR to keep the changes scoped to the wiki root files, removed the added translation markers, and cleaned up the duplicated Rename entry in Sketcher_Dialog.

Don't delete existing t tags; keep only those necessary for the end user.

All existing <t> tags should now be preserved. Please take another look when you have a chance. 🙏
