Problem description

Hi, I am not quite sure whether it is my fault, but in the latest TIPs version I do not find in the sketcher the "circle" any longer in the tool bar. In the menue the command is there. I can add a customs toolbar with the command. Shouldn´t it be part of the ellipse menue or shoudl it be a extra item?

I can recreate the problem of missing button a circle in the toolbar.

There is still an entry for circle in the context menu and the shortcut also still works.

Is there in FreeCAD a possibility to specify which commands appear in the context menu?

In official release the toolbar is structured differently:

official: [Circle From Center, Circle From 3 Points, Ellipse From Center, Ellipse From 3 Points] [Arc From Center, Arc From 3 Points, Elliptical Arc, Hyperbolic Arc, Parabolic Arc]

Image Image

RT: [Create arc by center, Create arc by three Points] [Create ellipse by center, Create ellipse by 3 points, Create arc of ellipse, Create arc of hyperbola, Create arc of parabola]

Apart from the missing Circle, i think the official tool structure makes more sense. I would also change the names since they are more concise and 'Create' does not reflect the common shortcut 'G' which is more like 'Generate'.
