Re: Why applying a pocket on a curved object in freecad give error "resulting shape is not a solid"

Might be a rounding issue with the curves. Try making the inner curve slightly smaller than the ID of the keyhole and the outer curve slightly bigger than the OD.

Also, please post your FreeCAD info per the red banner...

Techdraw section omitting shafts

Hello, I hope everyone is well! In Techdraw, is it possible to section a view of two bodies, but have one body not be sectioned?

Re: Why can't I add a chamfer to the other hole?

When I played around with your model I had problems setting the depth of the chamfer to greater than 1.6 also for that hole. So I think the tangential constraint raised above is a red herring. In the end I modeled it slightly differently to get the desired result. I often have this sort of issue and...

Re: Missing edges in Techdraw view

Are you in clear, that you sometimes refer to features in the Body and not to the Body itself? Yes, that was deliberate; in the test file I wanted to see if the anomaly was related to a specific operation in Part Design. That's why there are so many views. When the problem first occurred I was work...

Re: Missing edges in Techdraw view

I haven't done any real work with it today yet, we have a quality problem with a production process and I am deep in that. Yesterday, in the end I have done the drawing by inserting a non-orthoganal view, then inserting the orthoganal view I actually needed, so I can work around it. It doesn't avoid...

When inserting a view of either of the bodies in the attached file, I get the following errors in the Report panel (repeated 4 times): 14:48:07 asCirc...

Re: Sketch will not pad up to plane

Thanks everyone. Bambuko, I originally tried to pad up to the face of the shapebinder, but it also would not work, yielding the same error. Shalmeneser, I did not know you can use a plane that way - thanks! thomas-neemann, I guess there is something wrong with the file. I created it in a different v...
