Yes I am comfortable with the Sketcher WB. and have completed some good CAD & some CAM work with it. But I cannot figure the purpose of the Draft WB if you cannot, other than primitively, simply 2D draft with it? Does it have a significance I have not realised? I am genuinely new to Freecad hav...

Had a go at using the Draft workbench. Have been using CAD for more than 45 years with many different programmes, but I could not find a way to do simple 2d drawings which required basic tangent lines or snapping to tangent, for instance. I seemed to require the normal FC constraints as I am quite ...

You first need to confirm the mesh is manifold with the tools in Mesh workbench. And possibly decimate it the mesh to minimize the triangles. Then use Part workbench Create shape from mesh. Then confirm the shape is valid with Part workbench Check geometry (with BOP check enabled) to confirm the sha...

In build 36807 and 36822 Appearance settings don't work.

Same for attempts to set appearance from Properties View tab.

... I already have all that AFAICT. A few Sverchok nodes in Blender and I can read (and write) FreeCAD .FCStd file directly. Update from a changed FC file happens with a single click. (Note: the Sverchok FC node code open source, so could serve as an example for anyone wishing to read FC files into...

Have you tried changing the overlay properties in Preferences? Or, disabling overlays?

Create the sketch, then use Shapebinder or Subshapebinder for each Body.

The binder can be use in a Pad/Pocket/etc. feature.

What you describe has been discussed at length many times. There are existing feature requests and there is at least an effort to review the possibility of refactoring so that experience is better. But, the Create sketch in Sketcher toolbar and Part Design toolbar create the sketch with different pr...

I've attached the SVG file, which you can use to replicate the issue - import it, convert it to a sketch, edit the sketch by adding another rectangle (I was attempting to overlap it with the existing one in the centre to create a pocket about half the thickness of the pad), and then create a pad. I...

It does seem the add to content ratio has changed recently. It is annoying. The FreeCAD YouTube videos are not controlled by anyone. They are offered by the user community and a few "professional" YouTube creators that are trying to make a living (or at least some extra cash). There is lit...
