Re: Draft workbench

@Leadhead I don't quite understand the approach. This is what I see:

Re: Centering and midpoints

I guess it would be good if: 1) remove-redundant were the default or at least not so hidden, and A clear NO from my side. Let the machine do things that you don't understand is not a good option here. You will remain confused until you understand how geometric elements add degrees of freedom, and h...

Re: Centering and midpoints

Red means indeed that the sketch is overconstrained. I must warn you to continue working on the sketch when such situation occurs, because the whole constraint system can get out of whack. As soon as redundant or conflicting constraints occur, you should fix this issue. No further adding of constrai...

Re: Reload module/workbench

Reloading works here for pure Python stuff. Workbenches written in C++ are probably not reloaded completely.

Re: When working with 2 documents, unexpected switch from one to the other

For comparison: here, where it works well, I get

Code: Select all

Re: How to detach MODEL and TASKS tabs from combo view?

I had to leave, so I couldn't look it up. It is the Mod/PartDesign/SwitchToTask parameter. It is documented in the PartDesign section of the Fine-tuning page. You may have to create it.

Re: How to detach MODEL and TASKS tabs from combo view?

While the Task tab is open, you can drag it by grabbing it at the top. There is also a parameter which you can set to avoid the flipping ...

100% agree. Is there a way to do this in FreeCAD CAM?
You should create an issue for this.
