Re: Being seriously frustrated with FreeCAD

This is what I use to deal with this issue, a macro. I will normally just model away and then if I get to a point where I need to edit something early I run this macro, I make my changes and close the macro. I could also use it all the time but I'm too lazy, I just use it when I need to. If you want...

Re: How to cap missing faces

Can you click on the missing face or around it and get it to highlight?

Dev issue, single Pad does not show error as it used to

New model, Sketch a rectangle and Pad it , open the sketch once again and add an intersecting rectangle (PIc left). What Happens (Pic right): 1) this weird looking thing with plates top and bottom. 2) doesn't flag the Pad with the exclamation mark, it does on older versions and it should do it here....

Re: New-old macro 'Wise1"

I'm up to version 1-4, I will need to test this for awhile. I updated the macro with some visual additions that I really like. By using the "isTouched()" function while in Sketcher I can decide what to do if the sketch isn't valid (or in progress). You can see in the tree, if the sketch is...

Re: New-old macro 'Wise1"

Thought I would post a link to the macro because it's in another post.

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

OK, I most always work in PartDesign. When I select what plane to attach to I get the correct response, I'm happy with how that works. :) So as long as the user stays in PartDesign and doesn't manually open Sketcher , all is good. I still think the idea of an unattached Sketch is odd or poor managem...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

I know there are many things to consider but "That's broken" There is no reason not to attach the sketch. If I select the face of an object and start a new sketch it works fine. This is what I wrote about prior, the App. is not doing what is should do and users can make sketches with no su...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

This is what i mean with selected planes. It doses not mean, that is a Origin plane. Plane as geometrical "plane". Agreed. As a test; From PartDesign I manually changed to Sketcher, clicked new sketch and I get a pop-up asking what plane to use, I click XYPlane and the sketch starts. I dr...

Re: Pocket breaks body (faces glitch away and distort)

user1234 wrote That is not strange. You can delete the attachment in a Sketch, or insert an already unattached Sketch in a body. The PartDesign create Sketch task do just automatic attach the Sketches on the selected planes, nothing more. No, if you select a face and start a sketch there will be Su...
