FreeCAD Forum

I have tried opening the operations/pocket shape line in the combo view, re-opening the operations menu and hitting the refresh button on the upper toolbar (comes up recompute in the python console) nothing happens. Are you talking about a different procedure? As herbk pointed out, a very standard ...

Most likely is that you accidently compiled in debug mode. That is the default.

When I compile in release mode those "_d" files are not created.

I sometimes make the mistake of going with the default, and the result does not work.

This survey is only from CNC Cookbook customers. I doubt that many professional CAD users are customers of CNC Cookbook.

I saw the extra arcs when I first opened the file, but a recompute cleaned up everything. That is often the first thing to try when results don't look right.

Wait it does work, a gust of stupidity hit me and i did it wrong![/color][/b] The link to the modiefied DLL is the way to solve the problem. I copied the 64 bit modded api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll into FreeCAD's bin folder and copied the modified x86 dll into C:\Windows\SysWOW64 and into C:\Wind...

If you hang around the Help forum for a while, as many of us forum rats do, it will be clear that it is VERY unreasonable to make that assumption.

So there is nothing from FreeCAD that can be used, to see why it determined there is a problem. I get it, I must go the hard way to find it. Sketches can be used for a number of purposes in FreeCAD. Duplication of lines is not automatically a problem in the sketcher. Or another way to look at the p...

I think all the replies above have missed the correct answer. Even if there is no TNP the warning will come up. (I just tried it to make sure.) The reason is that Pad001is NOT just the cylinder that was added, but rather it is the entire body at that point. If good practices were followed and the sk...
