Re: Integrated Assembly workbench

After thinking a bit on it, I agree that this is probably not desirable behavior. Maybe just in the case of assembly, but even then it sounds like a can of worm.

Re: Integrated Assembly workbench

I do not think it is currently possible. But that would be a question for @wmayer.

Is it possible to save in the document the object that is currently under edit, so that when the user open again the document the edit mode is automatically started? See @Svet message above. Thanks

'Update template field' ?

I'm continuing to have a tour of techdraw, and I come upon the 'Update template field' tool. It seems to me that this tool is not very helpful. On top of that it doesn't use taskbox and its UI is kinda ugly. From what I'm seiing it offers to update 4 fields : - Designer name - scale - Doc name - Dat...

Sketcher: Snapping to external edges automatically

Hey guys, I was thinking about a feature that other cad software have. While sketching you are able to snap and auto-constraint to external edges. Even without creating external geometry in sketcher. So basically that would mean when a geometry tool like line is active, and you hover on an external ...

Re: New Bill of Materials workbench

I have been testing the workbench, and here some comments : - There are 4 tools in the workbench which are confusing to me. What is the difference between 'overall' 'raw' and 'single level' ?

Re: Integrated Assembly workbench

My first comment is : I have hard time to find how to drag part in Gesture navigation mode . You have to press Alt key in combination with single mouse clic to move parts inside an assembly. Could be true with another navigation mode. I never used Gesture navigation mode, but I have tried it and le...

Re: Integrated Assembly workbench

But once I save, close and reopen the file I can no longer rotate the second plate as I did before. What am I missing? Is it supposed to (not) work this way? Did I something wrong? A bug? To be able to click and drag objects, the assembly needs to be active. So when you open the file you have to do...
