* Enable DAGView, if you do a lot of refactoring. It saves the day!
** Go to Tools --> Edit parameters... --> BaseApp --> Preferences --> DAGView --> set Enabled to true.
** Now restart FreeCAD
** You will have DAGView now in View --> Panels
* There is also the Dependency Graph! It shows the DAG as well, and also show you cycles. But it is not as good as the DAGView
** Open it by using Tools --> Dependency Graph...

* For Pockets, the Operation "ZigZagOffset" looks promising. "ZigZag" leaves parts of the border, thus you would always need another contour path.
* If you want to create paths for features which are already altered by another feature (e.g. a pocket inside a pocket), you can create a clone of the original feature and create the Path on that one (Requires a new Job)
== hints using the TechDraw Workbench ==
* you can use <code>%.5g</code> as format string instead of <code>%.2f%</code> to remove trailing zeros
* Note that the linegroups are only applied at the time a new object is created. Then the weights are stored in the object itself. (2018-02-27)
