In the preferences-render screen I placed to the blender.exe path (I see that there is an automatic parameter: --samples 100). I'm not sure where you've read (unless something major has changed recently and the README hasn't been updated) that the user can just point the Wb at Blender, I've always ...

chrisb the temp files are never cleared, it's always been the user's responsibility to do this by their own schedule. The OP needs to use the 'portable' install and extract it directly to the external drive, I personally wouldn't be as concerned with the cfg files and Addons being on C: as the user...

@looo are you aware that the Python 3.10.x Windows Conda build produces the error raised by the OP but the Python 3.8.x equivalent on the same box with the same font is fine?

I tested using your file and it take 14 seconds to do any change to the thread. I would definitely look at the Fasteners Wb, the M4 default thread is configurable with custom pitch, length, left hand/right hand and it's way quicker at updating, like 14 times quicker. The wb has in it's Preferences s...

There is only 14 GB free space left. I install on a G: drive so that's not an issue but you're probably not aware that the Temp and Tmp variables which by default point to the C: drive are used for all sorts of 'dross' and aren't automatically cleaned up on closing FreeCAD so you've been warned.

* fasteners 0.3.41 some of you have many more fasteners showing then i do. is there a updated version i need to load? ------- Yep, when you start AddonManager and the main window has finished loading, you need to click the Refresh Local Cache button at the bottom left hand corner every week or so, ...

That really isn't a very efficient way to model, firstly forget the Part container unless you are doing assemblies, I've been using FreeCAD since 0.16 for real work and never needed them. If you look at the attached file you will see how I would model something along the lines that you want (there's...

Cannot replicate on Windows with either 0.20.0 or 0.20.1, all works as expected. chrisb If you think this should be in the Help forum please move as it might get more attention, thanks. OS: Windows 7 Version 6.1 (Build 7601: SP 1) Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.20.29177 (Git) Build type: Re...

Maybe I did not express myself correctly. Repositioning of the gear is possible while I am in the Timing gear. In the moment I drag the gear into body and add a sketch it goes back to the XY plane ... Purely from a workflow point of view I would create the shafts for the gears to reside first and t...

add one at a time to my model. You make it sound as though the user cannot add the same fastener to multiple holes at once, this is incorrect. The user simply Ctrl-clicks each circular edge of each hole to have the same type of fastener and then clicks the fastener button required which creates the...
