Re: Tutorial Request: Captain America Shield
...use Curves SketchOnSurface for the star. Does SketchOnSurface work with bi-curved surfaces (the star is on the surface of a sphere)? If it does, the Wiki page might benefit from a few extra words as it only talks about 'a label on a bottle' implying a uni-curved surface. Maybe it should say 'a l...

Re: How to integrate openSCAD models in parametric projects
As another alternative for the OP, consider two cylinders, one tube, one union and and one subtraction. You can use the same DD object that is in the post above to drive it. The DD can be seen as analogous to the Parameters section of the OpenSCAD file. --- It would be great if Part, Primitives had ...

Re: Driving Part Design Hole Size from Configuration Tables?
...size is a multi-select pull-down, and I don't know whether there is a way to provide input to a multi-select from a configuration table. In the Hole Properties, Data pane, right click on the ThreadSize and choose Expression. Paste your parametric value there. To help you know an Expression-drive...

Re: .nc file to step file
But my quest is to be able to do it for multiple files and insert it in a pipeline of a bigger process. ...can you give some kind of minimal example on how to do it?? If you are doing this work commercially, as part of a business, you pay someone to do it. Download the pdf file above, read it a few...

Re: Minimum/Maximum supported python versions
Do you mean that it is unknown which python versions are supported in each FC version? No, sorry. It was a stopgap suggestion if you needed a band aid to solve an immediate problem. I would guess that it is likely not documented in a formal way suitable for entering directly into your table. Hence,...

Re: .nc file to step file
NC1 is a synonym for DSTV. Tekla Structures is one program that will output this. The DSTV format is outlined here: http://www.advancedrobotic.com/admin/FTP/NC-DSTV-Interface.pdf See also (from which the above document was found): https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/advance-steel-forum/undarstand-the-nc1...

Re: Minimum/Maximum supported python versions
It is not a great solution, but in the short term could you come at this from the opposite direction? Is there something that will take a Python script and tell you the oldest version of Python on which that script will run? If the results of that are something that was around 3 years before a parti...

Re: Need to make a decision
The Suppressed property on any feature can temporarily remove the feature. Is that something new on 0.22? It is not there in 0.21.1. Looking at your screenshot, the Suppressed property box does not seem to have the little Expression indicator in it. After further research, you noted the same issue ...

Re: Need to make a decision
And of course, I immediately hit topo naming hell Post a simplified example of one of the broken models and we could direct you concerning how and why it is fragile and how it could be made better. Varying in dimensions is a lot easier to model in a robust way than varying in features. FreeCAD seem...
