Hi,

New to using FreeCAD

I cannot seem to add holding tags to either the outside edge or the inner pocket
File letterbox guide V3.FCStd

Any guidance or help would be appreciated

macOS Monterey Version 12.6

Material: 5mm perspex sheet 320x250mm

Requirements:
Panel size 300x200mm
Pocket cutout 278x60mm ThroughAll (needs to be a smooth edge)
2 x M3 countersunk holes thru

It works here, if I remove the holes from the profile. Mill them in a separate operation.

Just to make sure - you cannot add holding tags to any Pocket operation, you can only add them to Profile operations.
