Re: auto things making life "easier"
How about creating an item in the preference packs list so they can easily be saved and restored. In principle good idea (assuming that I understand you correctly - care to elaborate, please?) There are predefined sets of preferences which can be saved as preference pack, and they can of course als...

Re: Modifying master sketch breaks slave sketch
The best you can do is to avoid TNP instead of waiting for a fix. The example with the foundation is a good one: Instead of changing something existing, you would probably add something new. If you do the same with the sketches you get a rock solid model. Don't modify a master on which already sever...

How to read named constraints from Sketcher from Python
Yep but how to read them from a script! I'm stuck on this reading docs and docs. It's three years ago that I posted here. Here we go: Assume you have a point in a sketch named "Sketch". Add driven dimensions like this: SnipScreenshot-b5f871.png In Python define a function def getConstrain...

Re: Is Shapestring the only option for text?
If you find a font, where only minor changes are needed, you may consider to start with a ShapeString and then convert it using Draft Draft2Sketch to do the finish in Sketcher.

Re: Constraint sketch based on Part 3D information
I'm not sure if I understand your post right; if not, you may add a handmade doodle based on a screenshot of your model showing what you want. Using a sketch in the same plane as the first one, you could use something like this: SnipScreenshot-c61cba.png or you can cut the tip off right away in the ...
