Summary0000355: Console output in freecad
DescriptionWhy not showing the console output in freecad ? When I draw a line it's useful to see what kind of data it's waiting for, rather than creating a dialog box for each command, or switching to the console. Example : when I draw a line it asks for a point, I have finished the line when I check the console... the interaction with the console output may reduce the need of different dialog boxes. Maybe a unique dialog box in which the console interacts with the user for each command ?

Thats Autocad thinking. Its not the work flow I intend for FreeCAD.
Grid snap and auto constraints will tackle that. The output
to the python console is only intended for programmers and macro recording.
Not as user interface!

And not to forget that many users even don't use the output window at all.

Would be a change in interface policy. See no lobby for that.
