Image Import Refactored

Image Import Refactored

Over the course of a few dif­fer­ent PRs, devel­op­ers @wwmayer and @PaddleStroke have re-imag­ined image import into FreeCAD. Gone is the old “Image Work­bench” — images are now first-class cit­i­zens in FreeCAD, with their import inte­grat­ed into the core as a nor­mal File->Open or File->Import. And this week @PaddleStroke imple­ment­ed a new (and much more intu­itive) user inter­face for set­ting the scale of an import­ed image. This is crit­i­cal since the most com­mon use of import­ed images is to match new CAD geom­e­try to the scale in that image.

If you are run­ning a recent devel­op­er build, give the new Image han­dling a try and let us know what you think!
