Re: could fc self host a throw-away ftp?

Adding a new web service (ftp server or file uploader) means one more thing to maintain. And people are not getting out of their way to help out in that department. Basically two people only do this, and one neither of them seem to have much free time.

Re: convert SLDPRT (and perhaps SLDASM) files to step...

This exact same issue was discussed in a long running topic, with the last reply as recent as last Monday on this very forum. https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=603 CAD Exchanger was mentioned. Granted its price is steep if this is for personal use. But if your files are intended for commerci...

Re: Import SolidWorks (sdlprt) to FreeCAD

[The title of this topic has been wrong for 13 years. It should be SLDPTR , not SDLPTR .] Good point, and thanks for clearing that out! Now to be absolutely sure, which one is it again? SLDPTR... or SLDPTR? :lol: Now being serious, the actual file extension is *.sldprt. "prt" being short ...

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions

To anyone wanting a wiki account... Please do not PM me. I haven't been an active contributor to the wiki nor the forum for nearly 5 years. My name is no longer listed as a wiki admin in this topic's first message, yet I still get requests by PM. I added a note in blue at the top of the first post. ...

Re: Import SolidWorks (sdlptr) tp FreeCAD

Hey guys, I noticed this topic resurfacing a few days ago... CAD interoperability has always been an interest of mine (years ago by necessity, dealing with customers files at work). All good and valid points have been presented here, but I was surprised by a rather glaring omission for such an old t...

Re: Werner passes 7000 posts and other fascinating maths! :-)

The big question here is if chrisb is actually an AI, because clearly he does not need much sleep. ;) Congrats! Besides, hey! wmayer , I see you finally passed me! Took your sweet time! :lol: And it looks like his 19,000 mark went unnoticed (he's currently at 19,105). Considering the topic is named ...

Re: Volunteer Packagers Needed for the PPA

So, libqt5webkit5-dev in the Builds-Deps should be replaced with qtwebengine5-dev?

As the current freecad_2:0.20.1+dfsg1~202210271541~ubuntu22.04.1 package isn't built with qtwebengine, I wonder if the Addon Manager or the Web workbench are working properly.

Re: [ Feature Request ]: adding "chamfer" in the parameters of hole feature

Besides the Chamfer feature we have the Groove feature for any kind of hole cross section. Independent of the matter of integrated chamfers, I'd like to make one point to keep in mind regarding Groove and Hole. It would be desirable at some point in the future for the Techdraw workbench to be able ...

Re: [ Feature Request ]: adding "chamfer" in the parameters of hole feature

I gather you are not familiar with the manufacturing industry? We got recently complaints about the rough tone in some forum's discussions. Therefore please only argument on a technical level not against the person. (see also our https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) Ex...
