Summary

The screw tool has been removed from the tool bar in Blender 2.8X so I decided to update where you can find it and update some of the old keymaps.

In blender 2.83 the screw tool can actually be found in the edge menu

I spend ages looking for it. Just couldn't see it. I'll update the manual to reflect that.

Updated the location of the screw tool to Blender 2.83.

That's because I added it only a week or two ago :)

Better defined the location of the screw tool.

That makes sense. I keep jumping between 2.82 and 2.83 so that's probably why I didn't see it. From now onwards I will try my best to use the latest nightly build for documentation.

@Aaron Carlisle (Blendify) Also, have you seen D7375? I would like to hear your feedback on it before starting T75511. Like do I need to upload all the images separately or does the .diff cover that?

You need to upload them separately, creating the diff only includes textual changes and only give a reference that some binary file was added. Like I said in the task, I'll give you commit access so you can commit directly and won't have to worry about patches.

Okay. When you do that, can you run me through the process of committing the images and/or text changes?

Yes, I am sorry if I am bit slow at getting to you, I have exams this week so I'm a bit more busy than usual.

That's alright. Do what you need to do. Updating the images for the manual would preferably be done by the release of 2.83 and we've still got about 2 or more months.

@Alaska (Alaska) you can now commit to the manual. The username and password are synced with this website. So you can begin those changes.

Can you add one of these to match the other tools documented in the manual?

Will do.
