Pull and extrude - feature

Hi all, As far as I know FreeCAD there is no such a feature as pull face and extrude it. Similar to this video: https://youtu.be/1o0KNmXRrrU?t=6 My question is: 1. Does FreeCAD can support that without major design logic changes ? FreeCAD is parametric modeler but such a feature could be really usef...

Re: organiczne, nieregularne, asymetryczne kształty

Mozesz uzywac splajna z draftu. W czasie robienie jakiegos obiektu mozesz sie przelaczac miedzy workbenchami.
Mozesz tez wyciagnac wszystkie paski tooli do jednego swojego "ulubionego" workbencha i tylko z tego korzystac.

Re: Electronic enclosure design approach.

I have not tested so far, but there exist an old macro to make enclosures. See this thread: http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=6983 The macro from the last post seems to run. Ulrich Hi, this is a very nice macro that can solve some enclosure case... it would be nice to have it in ...

Re: Electronic enclosure design approach.

What do you mean by automatic? where would you get the information from about the cutouts? I am just asking if there is an option ? I've seen this in some other video in YT. I can't find URL but I assume that was Solid Edge functionality. is that the hole wizard? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYK...

Re: How to make pocket of already existing faces or loop of edges

One more question I have seen that v0.14 release have feature: "Edge chain selection" That version is very outdated. Read the link "IMPORTANT ..." above on how to install a current version. Maybe I asked wrong question. I know that current version is v0.16 and new one is coming ...

Re: Electronic enclosure design approach.

Agree. I just watched this video and I have another questions to FC gurus :P. Is there any way to make cutouts for connectors automatically ? Author of this video just makes proper rectangles, circles and cut out holes but it seems to me too much manual (anyway I do the same in my designs) but mayb...

Re: Electronic enclosure design approach.

Hi Roland, for comparison there is also a nice video how to model an enclosure over a 3d model with DesignSpark mechanical https://youtu.be/6i4LeVzQqLk I think DesignSpark have different CAD approach than FC :( I know but the idea/suggestion would be to get a comparison in designing the resulting e...

Hi all, I am using FreeCad to design plastic electronic enclosure for different devices. Normally I design one part, takes it's dimension and use to design the enclosure cover (back of the enclosure, etc). But this sound to me like I am wasting lot of time by placing holes for screws again (I alread...
