When the part is something smallish and injection moulded, you can bet on bang-on nominal dimensions for just about everything; this makes measuring it out immensely faster and more accurate than tracing images. Only once has using a document scanner to take an image of an extremely weird and non-li...

Thank you for the interesting and robust tools Edward. Been slowly learning and using Silk for a couple years, the most recent "actual" project I used them on was re-reworking (and re-re-reworking) a design for a vacuum hose coupling for a power tool. Silk makes it possible to blend the ve...

Ah, this morning I figured it out. Under "Preferences" > "General" > "Macro" tab > "Macro Path" I didn't have that path configured, so it was pointing just at the top level /$HOME/snap/freecad/common directory. Thanks again for this great work, it's really nic...

hi again, big congrats on getting maintainership over the official snap.

i'm having trouble getting it to load custom macros. not workbenches, and not most other things, but specifically a Path WB post processor that loads find from the .FreeCAD/Macro directory in other versions. any idea?

I am now getting this same error today after having a week of my setup working on 22.04.

hey ppd, wonderful package thanks for all this effort to get it working so well.

is there a possibility that the package to include a hook to symlink /home/$USER/.FreeCAD to /home/$USER/snap/freecad-ppd/common ? i feel like having the configurations and workbenches synced is nice.

Thank you for this great workbench! It makes generating some nice looking images of the work super easy.

My only feedback is that instructions should be more easy to understand regarding where to find the spot to define the povray path.

Yeah I think it's great, just less legible. The "F" is such a dominant aspect of the old logo (even if it's a very ugly F).

my beloved proposal would the following: a design that is somehow an evolution of the actual design so that it is more of a modernization than a brand new logo used technical drawing for defining the shapes (easy to reproduce even drawing it inside FreeCAD) the actual blue gear evolves to an open &...

does it provide all the tools I would need to model surfaces for industrial design Maybe. I'll do my best to translate the Fusion tools you're referencing with parallel ideas in FreeCAD. One of the big differences is that there are far, far fewer convenience operations (like "Rib" for exa...
