(Solved) I'm confused by 0.20s Tool system

Post by pathfinder »

Hello,

The way tools are handled seems to have changed substantially from 0.19 to 0.20 and I have problems creating new tools. I manage to create a new tool entry, but I don't know how to define its geometry. Is there a tutorial or a write-up somewhere?

TIA

Hi, @sliptonic made a YouTube video about the new toolbit system, I found it helpful - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgsm3jfHkZ4

https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Path_Tools has the overview of the new tool system.

After that, https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Path_Tools covers creating a new shape if the ones that come with FreeCAD aren't close enough to what you need.
