Aha, there you are talking constraints...
I wasn't so ambitious at first (let's begin with making things parametrics)
but yeah that's the plan

Yes I also think it's time to think about removing pivy... I'll do a list of every pivy thing I used in the Draft module, and we can see what we can do. Maybe it's not too much. About the rubberband, it's strange, as far as I see it works fine... Are the other rubberbands working? (when drawing a li...

Now I'm really thinking to convert all the draft module object to parametric ones... With Werner's new Part Python feature, it'll be pretty easy... And since they have a Shape attribute, just like "dumb" shapes, almost all the internal working should work (almost) exactly as before... For ...

Actually the 3D part of a dxf file can be of 2 types: dumb, old-style 3DFACE entites, which nobody uses anymore, and proper 3D solid geometry, which is stored as binary ACIS data inside the dxf file. So you have a text-based, human readable dxf file, and in the middle of it you encounter a big block...

The thing is, our wiki here hosts more than just the manual (which is still very incomplete, specially the part destinated to normal users), there is also all the commands reference (even more incomplete :| ) so those more "book-oriented" solutions would only serve partially to us. When th...

Hm doing a translation template is not easy... All the existing ones on other mediawikis or even the official one use all kinds of wiki extensions that we cannot use on sourceforge (bad, bad sourceforge). I'm trying to do a simple one but I'm afraid we'll have to do a bit of manual work (for ex manu...

Hi Dave, The dxf import/export stuff is all contained inside the Draft module. It is basically one python file, Mod/Draft/importDXF.py (which, despite the name, cares for importing and exporting to dxf format). If you are a bit used to python, I think you'll quickly understand how it works reading i...

I think FreeCAD is really entering the Parametric Era now...

That is the nvidia X driver. Probably your system was configured to use the nvidia driver but no driver was installed...

Okay, I gave edit permission to both mrchep and kwahoo. Now I need to make a translation template...
