Re: Curves workbench
Is there a way to use the "sketch on surface" function to engrave the sketch into the surface of a cylinder? Setting the thinkness to a negative value was my first guess, but that didn't do it.
My setup: FreeCad 0.20, OpenSuse 64bit

Re: Curves workbench
This is how to create the attached model:
- create the cylinder
- create the sketch (don't forget the construction rectangle
- map sketch to the surface of the cylinder
- apply Curves->Map sketch to surface
- set the following properties:
- - FillExtrusion=true
- - FillFaces=true
- - Offset=0
- - Thickness=-0.2
- make a Part->Boolean Cut from Cylinder and Sketch_On_Surface
- create the cylinder
- create the sketch (don't forget the construction rectangle
- map sketch to the surface of the cylinder
- apply Curves->Map sketch to surface
- set the following properties:
- - FillExtrusion=true
- - FillFaces=true
- - Offset=0
- - Thickness=-0.2
- make a Part->Boolean Cut from Cylinder and Sketch_On_Surface

Re: Curves workbench
@chrisb
When I do Curves|SketchOnSurface the sketch has the construction rectangle created and appropriately dimensioned - in your file version it isn't. Are we using different versions? Mine is 0.5.2

Re: Curves workbench
I admit: I was lazy and didn't dimension the construction rectangle. I just wanted to show how it works. (And I prefer to leave thing unconstraint instead of bad constraining.)edwilliams16 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 1:47 am When I do Curves|SketchOnSurface the sketch has the construction rectangle created and appropriately dimensioned - in your file version it isn't.
My version is 0.5.1, and according to AddonManager this is the latest.Are we using different versions? Mine is 0.5.2

Hmm. https://github.com/tomate44/CurvesWB/co ... bb0b3f6e68. Says this feature was added back in April and my addon manager says 0.5.2 is the latest.chrisb wrote: ↑Fri Aug 05, 2022 12:19 pmI admit: I was lazy and didn't dimension the construction rectangle.

Re: Curves workbench
@chrisb are you regularly updating your local cache in AddonManager?
Re: Curves workbench
An aside: this would be a nice feature to implement to avoid confusion:
FEATURE] Check if there are updates for 3rd party workbench (even if Addon Manager is not invoked)
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons/issues/206
Alone you go faster. Together we go farther

I had done a "Check for updates" before posting, which I guessed would do the update.
Now I have cleared the cache and checked again. Still no update available. I will update to the latest master and recheck.

Re: Curves workbench
I did nothing but an update to FreeCAD master, and now it says I have 0.5.4, updated today. Looking at the files, they are all from november 2021, except for a __pycache__ file from june 18 2022.
Should I open a new topic? I admit that I didn't follow Chennes' topic on AddonManager.
