Re: Trouble with Result has multiple solids

If that sketch is pocketed through the underlying pad how many solids will there be?

Only One continuous solid in a body is allowed.

Re: Can't create PD datums with a pre-selection?

Probably depends on what is selected. Seems to work OK here.

Re: Referencing padded body from sketch?

To be clear, you want to make a separate box to contain the model you have made already? If that is so, then shapebinders are the way to go. Just use the External geom tool on the shapebinder. External geometry works for geometry inside the same body, shapebinders import geometry from outside the bo...

Re: Fully constrained sketch won't pad

PD has a single solid rule per body. Padding will create a second solid so it is not permitted. Aside from that the workflow in PD wb is not the use of bool's instead use a subtractive feature, here it would be a pocket. Ironically this poses the same quandary, in that it will produce more than one ...

It's easier than that use the Part make face tool!

Re: Clone Tool in Sketcher

The preferred method is to pattern the solid.

There are various drawing aids in Sketcher but they are not parametric, and do not add extra constraints.

Post the file for better advice.

Re: Moving Sketch to Datum Plane

If it takes more than 10mins to draw and constrain a sketch it is too complicated, break it down to fewer elements. It is trivial to move a sketch to another face use Map sketch to face tool:- https://wiki.freecad.org/images/d/df/Sketcher_MapSketch.svg https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_MapSketch Ho...
