FreeCAD Forum

please rename the topic again, it looks horrible and makes the entire forum look bad.. I will not . I left it entirely to the moderators/admins. The fact that the topic is still pinned as a general announcement is exactly what I wanted to shed to light. Since my angered reply on Saturday, not a sin...

Not anymore. I'm shutting down this topic. If you want to know why, read it in the first post.

BOLTS and Drawing Dimensioning Addon are pretty much obsolete, as nobody has maintained them in a couple of years.

There must be a different reason why your client wants a STEP file. This is what he sent ...

The 'native' 0.18 Fedora package has oce which I found problematic and I had turned to AppImage for quite sometime (despite some other fallback I had not had time to overcome) to run FC. Would have no alternative if AppImage no longer run. FreeCAD 0.18.1 is provided as a flatpak. It runs well on Ub...

It's not "supposed to", it already has. But I believe it's actually just a name change along with a newer version. LibreCAD 2.1.2 can now open DWG files. It opened all the 2D DWG files that I tested (that I had created years ago). Unless LibreCAD can't open some newer DWG files, I don't se...
