Re: Filling/padding empty space within 2 shapes

You can convert the shapes in Draft workbench to sketches, merge them, and use Sketcher's Validate Sketch to find the missing coincidences, If you mo...

Re: Pick a new path in sweep tool

PS: is someone else missing the ability of the sweep tool to pick a new path? :| I can pick a new sweep path in PartDesign sweep as well as in Part. Which one causes you troubles? Or do you mean the Multisection mode in PartDesign? You have to start from scratch if you want to change the list of ad...

Re: Placement Dialog box

Any chance we could do the same to the "Extrude" dialog box (for which you have to scroll up)? We had discussions about "Extrude dialog". It creates an Object on every Apply plus an additional one on Ok . There are use cases where this is helpful, but is often, hm, surprising to...
