Re: Merging insert tools into one

I look at the 3d model and say "yes, that is what I want in my drawing", push the button and that is what I get. That is not the way we old people have learnt to create another view (by hand and later by CAD). We look at existing views to find edges and points to: - Define a view that sho...

Re: Draft und Sketcher Arbeitsbereiche

Danke für den Hinweis. Das Wiki wurde vor längerer Zeit eher quick and dirty übersetzt, leider auch ohne Abstimmung mit der Benutzerschnittstelle. Bisher konnte noch nicht alles korrigiert werden und Anleitungen haben eine geringere Priorität als die Beschreibungen der Befehle. Der angesprochene Abs...

Re: FreeCAD 22dev-Assembly WB (Ondsel) Slider Joint

The model has a redundant joint: Fixed004 and Fixed006 are identical. Remove the latter.

Then double-click on Slider002 and change the joint type from Slider to Fixed. Now you can adjust your mechanism by changing the Offset value.

In such a case the Fixed joint acts as an actuator.

Re: Is FreeCAD ready for production?

Yes, FreeCAD is ready for production if I lower my requirements until they match with what FC is capable. The developers have achieved a lot, but there is still another lot missing. As long as I can't progamm that myself I keep patiently waiting and try to hint into the right direction every now and...

Re: 1.0 feature freeze in sight

Version 1.0 may be OK for the next release, but it shouldn't be advertised as ready for production. I would rather call it ready for educational and tinkering purposes.

Re: Feature request: Remove Torus from Part workbenchs Solids toolbar

I never used a Torus. it is too easy to rotate a circle around an axis, or sweep a circle along a circular spine. But I hardly ever use primitives at all.
I'd be fine if all solid primitives were removed.

Re: Längen eines Modell s werden in der Techdraw WB etwas verkürzt

- Grundsätzlich wir ein 3D-Objekt auf eine Zeichnungsebene projiziert. - Kanten, die nicht parallel zur Zeichnungsebene liegen werden verzerrt bzw. verkürzt dargestellt. - Maße in Zeichnungsansichten werden an projizierter Geometrie angezogen. Es liegt in der Verantwortung des Konstrukteurs bzw. des...

Thanks, I noticed the difference now. The link to the index/workbench page doesn't lead to the localised page.
On command pages the link shows the WB name that is usually not translated and so shows no difference. :roll:

Re: Template:"WB Name" Tools navi ... & related

TechDraw_Tools_navi has been updated. I have also updated the French and Polish versions. The German and Italian versions were too out of date, they now redirect to the English template. Their previous version can be found via their history. I recreated the German translation and then had a look at...
