Re: Cant get my FreeCAD design to print on Xmax3 with Orca slicer PLEASE HELP

I'm sorry but I think I am missing something here. Everytime I try to upload the freecad file or stl now it's saying it's too large. The message saying it is too large is useful information to you. Do not obsess about this super creation you have made in FreeCAD. Reign in your ambitons and start sm...

Re: TechDraw - Dimensions don't match Sketch

Just a guess without the file, but I would check the projection direction against the sketch normal I think a quick way to check this in TD itself is to try to dimension a circle or arc. If the view is not orthogonal, it warns you that it is trying to dimension an ellipse. To the OP: I have read th...

Re: bug? PartDesign helix does not track some spreadsheet alias changes

...I delete that name as part of rearranging the spreadsheet, the PartDesign SubtractiveHelix changes the Height parameter to the spreadsheet normative cell number rather than maintaining the alias name. If you are identifying this as bug (undesirable behaviour), you must also have some concept of ...

Re: Is there a "paste | special | value" analog in FreeCAD spreadsheets?

Could you try: https://wiki.freecad.org/Macro_SpreadsheetTools In particular the 'Use visible content' option looks to be close to what you are asking. If the above does not work, what you want to do is possible on a one-by-one basis by using the Python console, but would need putting into a macro f...

Re: Is there a "paste | special | value" analog in FreeCAD spreadsheets?

I'd not look for the whole plethora of cross-app-stuff that full-fledged spread sheets collect under "paste special". I understand what you are trying to do but I think you need to understand how the paste special, values is done in other applications (e.g. LibreOffice) before trying to i...

Re: Is there a "paste | special | value" analog in FreeCAD spreadsheets?

To the best of my knowledge, in order to have a 'paste special', the application/Workbench has to put the 'special' onto the clipboard in the first place. I do not know if you have any way of examining what goes onto the clipboard on your system when you do a 'cut' or 'copy'. It would be instructive...

Re: gNucleus : Generate FreeCAD models by GenAI

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Please, gNucleusAI, command your botty and you yourself upload the FreeCAD file for the weld neck flange using the exact dimensions shown in your screenshot. Note that your Y dimension is smaller than your C dimension. The weld neck flange is a good example: th...

Re: Regression on Sketcher Points

How should such a button behave when Sketcher ToggleConstruction is clicked without having an element selected? Right now (0.21.1), the point button alone among the Sketcher buttons is immune/agnostic to the ToggleConstruction button and as you say, the only way you can toggle a point is to select ...
