Re: Sketch fully constrained, but still not

I tough, if the sketch is "Fully constrained." and if it the sketch is green then everything should be in perfect condition. But for some reason it is not. So, what did I missing? There is a bit of misconception about the state "fully constrained". It really means all DOF's have...

Re: Converting Mesh objects to solid

Thank you again drmacro. After considerable head-scratching and hours of frustration (primarily with my own ignorance) I have succeeded. I think the key was to use the extrusion tool rather than trying to pad the Shapestring. Anyway, I now have what I want (and hopefully can reproduce it when neces...

(with overlay system active) And if it's not active do you see the regression, too? then an undocked Property view no longer drops behind the current a...

Re: Curves workbench

The other issue is if you have the tree view in transparent mode on the left of the 3D view, the info is displayed under the treeview and is obscured. Not sure what would be best here. (I'd ping the overlay guru...but I don't know who that is.) In version 0.6.35, I have added 2 new float parameters...

Re: Curves workbench

... You can modify (or create if it doesn't exist) the following parameter of type string : BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Curves/GeomInfoFontColor Cool. ... This one may be more complicated. This kind of text display in the 3D view looked pretty cool back when I coded this tool, but I am not sure anymore...

Re: Curves workbench

I was using the GeomInfo tool just now, was reminded of an issue and noted a new behaviour. The reminded issue: When using different themes the overlay of the info can be lost in the background color. Is there a possibility to set the text color of have it set by the theme? (pinging obelisk79 becaus...

I note that if I create a small chamfer things work OK, but as I creep up to the hole using larger and larger chamfers eventually the process fails if the chamfer intersects the hole. I can work around this.

Regression: Undocked Property View won't yield

wmayer I think you've fixed this several times...?? With today's build if changes are made to the undocked treeview (with overlay system active) then an undocked Property view no longer drops behind the current application until FC is restarted.

Re: BRep_API: command not done problem with thickness

You have to separate lofts selected.

Re: BRep_API: command not done problem with thickness

If you set the Loft to be a solid, Thickness does work.

The file is too big to post though. :(
