[…] The difference is presentational: though the task panel is on the left it still works as I describe. Click on XZ-plane and then the OK button. […] Reconfiguring the display is liable to confuse beginners! Advanced users can change it if they want. Possibly the mac version is tweaked on delivery because the packager likes it that way, and didn’t realise the layout might disconcert beginners following a tutorial. […]

Thanks for doing that, Dave …

I actually changed my screen layout specifically on the advice in the video tutorial; in the hope of making it easier to follow.

Incidentally: There is no problem with ‘real estate’ … I am sitting fairly close to a 32″ monitor, and the drawing area is adequate.

Thanks for the Linux confirmation and that it will work on a Pi. Is that the 500?

A first interesting grab, for Dave

This notification appears every time that FreeCAD is opened on the Mac

It’s a known issue, and of course the lost milliseconds will vary according to the spec of the machine.

… I have no intention of dabbling with Font substitutions !!
