Re: Feedback on a prototype for rest machining

But there would be some work for Adaptive operations as well, yep? Yes! Unfortunately I am way behind on implementing my personal wishlist for freecad cam features, but I do still have plans for that. I'll post when I have a PR ready! Here's hoping you'll have time to continue your much appreciated...

Re: Axis selection graphical glitch

does any other anti aliasing option present the problem? Confirmed that I only see the issue with the Line Smoothing option. All other options display correctly on my M1/arm MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.1.2. OS: macOS 14.1.2 Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.22.0dev.35315 (Git) Build t...

Re: Axis selection graphical glitch

I don't think so. Current weekly (35274) crashes on launch for me (macOS arm), and my previous weekly (35209) is one where I can't reach the APPLY or OK buttons in preferences, so I'll have to wait to confirm. did you report that crash somewhere? that shouldn't happen Yes -- reported last night: ht...

Re: Axis selection graphical glitch

Turns out -- it is related to anti-aliasing in the Display preferences. Setting to "Line Smoothing" causes the issue. This is still a problem with the current development release: ``` OS: macOS 14.1.1 Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.22.0dev.35024 (Git) Build type: Release Branch: m...

Re: Boring Operation

Was a "Boring" operation ever added to FreeCAD based on this discussion from five years ago? I wasn't clear from the discussion or Wiki if this became a separate operation, or a modification of Helix, or if it was still in limbo? Thanks! Did you have a look at the Helix operation? Where is...

Re: thread milling?

Glad to find this thread. I built a small CNC called the MilkCr8 (My build log here: http://johnsblog.cloud7.org/2021/11/18/Why-Build-the-MilkCr8-CNC.html). My goal with the machine is (for one thing) to replace various 3D printed parts on 3D printers with 6061 aluminum parts. Most operations are pr...

Re: Shop Floor Instructions

I enjoyed reading that document! As a very new CAD and CAM user, if even a few hours pass between post-processing GCODE and staring at the machine, I've often forgotten many of the key items mentioned in that document (where am supposed to probe for X,Y and Z is a common one -- especially if the pro...

Updated macro works great! Thanks. Sorry I forgot the version info. I'm usually better than that.

EasyAlias with 0.21 vs 0.20

Greetings @TheMarkster

It seems the 0.21 SpreadSheet workbench now inserts a single apostrophe at the first character in a text entry. This seems to confuse EasyAlias, and it reports errors and won't create the alias.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!
