Re: Involute Gear Causing PC Overload

In any case, you probably should change the way you make your model. The main thing is to postpone adding the actual gear to as late as possible.

Re: Involute Gear Causing PC Overload

File opens in about 2 seconds on my Core i5. Editing Pocket001 and changing its length takes about 5 seconds, it takes another 5 seconds after clicking OK for FreeCAD to be responsive again. One of my 4 cores spiked to 100% for about the same time. I changed the length of Pocket001 from 40mm to 30m...

Re: Involute Gear Causing PC Overload

Would you allow random people upload files of unlimited size and count to your pc and take responsibility for keeping them for reasonable (years?) amount of time? This is why there is a limit... I understand this, but why have a limit that does not suit the product you are supporting. Or is my desi...

Re: Involute Gear Causing PC Overload

You are correctly...when you right click and save link you do not get the file. Sorry. Why would there be a limit that makes it not posible to upload a file as it is too big.
