Re: New macro, Vision1, check it out

Hi freedman, attached what I roughly was thinking about. ;) You can enable an extra feature that toggles the "single" mode with Ctrl+Shift by setting __KBSC__ to True at the top of the macro. I disabled it by default as it needs a model to be opened first (before running the macro) and it...

Re: Problems with a DWG file

Hi founder, welcome here.

Could you please post your version info as described in the link in the giant red box on top of the page ?
If you install from distro repo, there is a high chance that your version is outdated. ;)

Re: Reference external construction geometry?

Hi Brush701, Welcome here ! Actually there are 2 different ways that could fit your need. First is to use Sketcher External . This feature actually "copies" an edge of the existing geometry into your sketch. You can then reference this edge to build your new geometry. This is the closest w...

Re: Scale an entire sketch?

I'd need to scale this up so the 32.92mm dimension is, say, 1.5 meters -- and all the other parts scaled up so everything stays in proportion. In this case, you should set all other dimensions as formulas using the base dimension (32.92) times a ratio. So then you just need to update the base dim a...

Re: Python2, python3, and FreeCAD documentation package

Could be easier if you show us what commands your entered and the associated output messages.
Maybe first try to reinstall freecad daiily

Code: Select all

apt-get install --reinstall freecad-daily
If it's not sufficient, probably you have to purge then install again. ;)

Re: [RFC] FreeCAD commit history formatting ideas

In the extent of my experience, square brackets are good because they have a good visibility in the message. However they are not so easy to catch on the keyboard, what can be "boring" when you have a lot to use. It can be envisaged to replace them with parenthesis "()" or chevro...
