Re: Forum very very slow (again)

Yes, thank you. I would say the speed is much faster. Going from post to post appears to be about the same as before (the slow down) but I did just post something and it took about 10 seconds. This would seem slow for just a text post. That's weird, posting this took 2 minutes. I did notice that cli...

Why no default Map Mode for flat face sketch placement?

We can select a circle (edge) and get a Concentric Attachment using mapmode, why can't I select a non-circular flat face and get a mapmode Attachment that centers a sketch on the face anywhere ? The info is available i.e. edges to make a plane and a vertex for a center point. I should be able to sel...

Re: How to display context menu (right-click menu) with a macro

I got this working and I do see some of your issues like the timer.
This is good macro for me, I wanted to override the Right click and here it is. :)
Thanks

Edit: Deleted the macro because it has issues, will post later.

Re: How to model a complicated 3D surface?

That looks like a pretty easy PartDesign part. You might need to mess around with the fillets. Create a sketch top and side view and someone here will probably model it or at least get you started.

Re: How to undock a Toolbar?

Syres That code works good. I did change a couple things. I like the floating vertical toolbar: tb.setOrientation(QtCore.Qt.Vertical) and changing this line creates a frameless window, so no worries about closing the toolbar. tb.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.Tool | QtCore.Qt.FramelessWindowHint) Thanks

Re: Is FreeCAD ready for production?

Put yourself in the position of Manager of production. I would have questions like this: 1) Who knows how to use it 2) If that person quits, who knows how to use it 3) Is the program going to get better over the years 4) Is it worth it, no fees but middle of the road performance 5) Will the file typ...

Re: How to undock a Toolbar?

Maybe someone can figure out how to make the Toolbar a Widget instead of a Window type. I tried some and can't get there.
Thanks

Re: How to undock a Toolbar?

Syres This was a good challenge. I went thru about 2 hours of trying this and that. Nice work, it looks good. I would like the new icon window created without the close X button, but from what I have tried and what I read on stackoverflow it doesn't seem possible for child windows. I can monitor if...
