Re: New-old macro 'Wise1"

Thought I would post a link to the macro because it's in another post.
viewtopic.php?p=743735#p743735

I updated the code, made a couple changes to MapMode, and colors.

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

OK, I most always work in PartDesign. When I select what plane to attach to I get the correct response, I'm happy with how that works. :) So as long as the user stays in PartDesign and doesn't manually open Sketcher , all is good. I still think the idea of an unattached Sketch is odd or poor managem...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

I know there are many things to consider but "That's broken" There is no reason not to attach the sketch. If I select the face of an object and start a new sketch it works fine. This is what I wrote about prior, the App. is not doing what is should do and users can make sketches with no su...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

This is what i mean with selected planes. It doses not mean, that is a Origin plane. Plane as geometrical "plane". Agreed. As a test; From PartDesign I manually changed to Sketcher, clicked new sketch and I get a pop-up asking what plane to use, I click XYPlane and the sketch starts. I dr...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

user1234 wrote That is not strange. You can delete the attachment in a Sketch, or insert an already unattached Sketch in a body. The PartDesign create Sketch task do just automatic attach the Sketches on the selected planes, nothing more. No, if you select a face and start a sketch there will be Su...

Re: Sketcher: Snapping to external edges automatically

I was thinking about a feature that other cad software have. While sketching you are able to snap and auto-constraint to external edges. Even without creating external geometry in sketcher. So basically that would mean when a geometry tool like line is active, and you hover on an external edge, if ...

Re: Is there an option to disable FreeCAD getting online?

I will take it that currently there is no switch. If I had to guess, there is some TCP module included that is a DLL or C++ written and is compiled up and should not be touched. It probably has multiple entry points and that's a mess. Maybe someday; The module is open source so someone could write a...

Re: New-old macro 'Wise1"

The video shows a block with an offset post, I enable the Origin planes so you can see the block offset. Prior to using the dialog I select the post circular edge and the face which gives me enough to make the MapMode "Concentric". You can see the Sketch centers on the post because a round...

Re: weird rendering issue in recent development versions

When I open the file from the first post my tree looks like this. All the Supports are missing. I also see in Report "No extension found of type 'App::SuppressibleExtension' I think there is something wrong with the file. I'm using dev 0.22.35822. I wonder if other Workbenches have done somethi...
