Re: [A2plus] Coincident constraint for cylindrical and plane face

Here's how you can do it:
  1. Select the circular edge on the cylinder and select one face on the V
  2. Select the pointOnPlane contraint and set the offset to the cylinder's radius
  3. Redo the steps for the other V face
  4. Redo the steps for the other cylinder end

Part Design Thickness - Non Implemented features

I was playing with the Part Thickness and noticed the Pipe and Recto Verso Modes values don't seem to do anything. The Intersection checkbox also appear do be "useless". Further investigating in the forum, I found this older thread from 2013: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=45...
