edX Solidworks course: there should be a FreeCAD option as well...

I just saw this announcement on the edX learning platform about the SOLIDWORKS CAD Fundamentals course starting Dec 13, 2021: https://www.edx.org/course/solidworks-cad-fundamentals (It seems you have to buy a yearly subscription of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers: US$99 (excluding taxes).) My spo...

Just learned something new! This is great!! (How could I live without this?) Is this documented (on the Wiki)?

I am not good at navigating. What works reasonably well for me is doing "0" and "V,F" quite often to "restart" my view.

Thanks for the initiative. This is exactly the issue I have with the current icons. All your suggested icons are a major improvement, I personally prefer the 3-shape versions.

Re: Interesting info re 3D printing, FreeCAD and OpenSCAD

And when I try a Part::Offset I get an error BRepOffsetAPI_MakeOffsetShape Not Done :-( Just to be sure, are you taking about 3D Offset? https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Part_Offset What do you want to accomplish? It seem to me it's hard to arrive at a meaningful result with this transformation because ...

Re: the wiki: moving from 0.18 to 0.19 (bis)

Interesting find! It looks like something that might be feasible, I guess... Would be nice to see it in action at a larger Wiki though.

Re: PieMenu (v2.0)

If you want the most up to date PieMenu functionality, you may want to consider using realthunder's LinkStage3 branch. He has souped up @triplus's PieMenu addon (which is what you see in this thread) Does anybody know if there are plans to move realthunder's pie menu into FreeCAD proper? (I'm getti...

Re: 'Units' wiki : "Failed to parse (MathML ..."

I suppose you are referring to the <math></math> tags and the red texts you see when they are not properly handled. This happens from time to time, but the problem always seems to be temporary.

New Sketcher shortcuts

Finally the Sketcher shortcuts have been overhauled, it seems: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/0926a4148bcff11249fd4f56bc30256102ffe105 Any strategy how to handle this in the Wiki? Could we chip on this incrementally or does someone plan to do a mass change? (Ether way, it will cause grief...
