Re: Issue #5694 Broken View

Which is just as @FBXL5 learnt. I guess the reason is that an interrupted view is to scale, it's just not all there. Yes. I was thinking of the dimension. If a dimension is created from 2D edges of an interrupted view it won't show the true length and you also have to use a fake dimension. I think ...

Re: Add hole or shaft fit - duplicate entries in dropdown list

It would be nice to have the complete pair of tolerances in the dropdown list, at least, to see if the hidden tolerance varies with each entry (if such hard coded pairs make sense anyway).

Re: Issue #5694 Broken View

Is that iso standard special or artistic freedom special? I haven't seen zigzag sections in dimension lines on DIN or ISO conform drawings yet, but my knowledge is quite old school. I have learnt to underscore a dimension measuring geometry that is not to scale, but this doesn't apply to broken vie...

Re: How to create this angle constraint with the Dimension tool?

I want to create the following angle constraint: SnipScreenshot-3f107d.png With Sketcher ConstrainAngle I select the line, invoke the tool and confirm the value. Can I do the same with the Dimension tool? No idea? A confirmation that it's not possible would also be appreciated. Confirmed. But as th...

Re: FPA letter about the future, some thoughts

this feature of direct importing dimensions from sketches to drawing is available in a big CAD... That doesn't make it more valuable. See the link above if you are interested and want to understand. I did before I answered. I still think it is just a gimmick. It might be useful to some, you include...

Re: FPA letter about the future, some thoughts

That's why, IMO, it is necessary to shortcut all the chain by "connecting" directly dimensions of sketches to special new imported dimensions in TD views. Reading dimensional constraints to copy them into techDraw views sounds more like a gimmick to me that is needed by some users. I usua...

Hundreds of thousands of people are "bungling" all day to make the products around you Indeed. And that is why lots of item from a century ago still work perfectly, while recently built products fall apart after a short time. And the quality controlled bungling of today is called planned ...

Re: Translations of external workbenches from outside Crowdin.

The second menu > Last Option Not on macOS. I was able to place an icon in a custom toolbar and then invoke the Preferences. Why are the ukrainian menus different? Where Preferences... should be, I found Customize..., that is why I used the action above. Customize... belongs on the position before ...

Re: Translations of external workbenches from outside Crowdin.

What I meant is that you try to change the language of FreeCAD to Ukranian I switched to Ukrainian and can't find the Preferences... menu option. it seems like there is a different command where Preferences... should be. How can I get back to any latin-based language? BTW - I can confirm that there...
