ShapeText on Macintosh ?

Hello there, I'm trying to create a text on a part. The "ShapeText" feature looks great, but does it work on Macintosh ? The feature ask to locate some Font files, but I cannot locate them on MacOS. Has someone already experienced that point ? Do I need to download fonts files and from whe...

Creating mould from Parts ?

Hello there, I'm so impressed with FreeCAD, since with a few hours and some help from a community, I've been able to 3D-print useful pieces, like the one below : [img] Screen%20Shot%202017-03-29%20at%2022.57.54.png [/img] It does not compare to the beauties that I've seen here, but at least, it's us...

Re: FC v0.17dev: Part Design Next Usecases and Best practices

Hey Highly-Respected Dev Team, What is the status of v0.17 and its renewed Part Design ? For people learning today without heavy constraints, would you recommend to learn directly on the beta or to keep on the old stuff, even if replaced in a few days / weeks / months? Is there still a place for com...

Re: Flipping a part ?

Hi there, Thanks for your tip! For this test, I finally flipped it with the slicer. However, I'm interested in the discussion about " model things the way they are supposed to come together, not the way they are supposed to be printed. ". I find it a very good advice: function first, produ...

Flipping a part ?

Hi there, First of all, thanks for the answers of NormandC and ChrisB to my previous inquiries. I'm progressing and now, I'm designing a telephone holder to be 3D printed. However, I though that my part was well oriented with a button standing on the ground and the edges upward, but it appears that ...

Messy sketch after changing external references ?

Hello there, I swear that I did a set of fine sketches with a L-shape base ("socle" in french) with sides along each edge, with a central pad with a fall. It was looking good (thanks for NormandC who gave me some tips). Trying to make it even better, I wanted to add on the base some extra ...

Re: Strange behaviours on MacOS ?

Hi Normand, After you gave me the hand to jump out of my hole, I'm back with a derived question. I'm now working to avoid overlapping figures. My goal is to have a closed figure for padding/pocketing composed of several rectangles. I've seen a great video made by yourself as part as a discussion for...

Re: Strange behaviours on MacOS ?

THANK YOU ! Once you wrote me "forked", I found references and did correct my model in a few minutes, understanding the error was to start with two overlapping rectangles. However, it comes to me that, if I've never seen in the tutorials overlapping figures, I've never been warned about it...

Strange behaviours on MacOS ?

Hi there, I'm a brand new user of FreeCAD, which I plan to create parts to be 3D-printed. I'm a Macintosh user, running a MacOS Sierra (10.12.3). I'm experiencing behaviours that I don't see on tutorials such as blurred colours on selections (see screen shot Screen Shot 2017-03-22 at 23.45.33.png an...
