Tutorials for 0.14 PartDesign

[jrheinlaender]

I created two tutorials showing how to use the 0.14 PartDesign workbench to create a simple cast part.

http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... Tutorial_I
http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... utorial_II

The tutorials are not a detailed explanation of the functionality of the workbench, rather a comparison of two different modeling techniques.

If anyone has the time it would be great to "debug" the tutorials by trying to follow along the steps. I'm sure that lots of things that appear obvious to me are in fact not obvious and should be explained in the tutorial ...

Of course, you will need to compile the 0.14 PartDesign workbench from my github account:

Someone posted a help request on that tutorial. He's attempting to follow it on FreeCAD 0.14.2192.

Could you please add a big textbox at the top of the page to the effect this tutorial is only for a development branch that is not yet available?

Thank you.

This is the DEVELOPER forum! We talk a lot of stuff here which is not intended for users!
Jan PartDesign stuff is not even in master. So for the normal user we can disclose everything here!

Later on we can make PartDesign and Assembly forums in the Help section.

The user didn't find the tutorial here, he found it on the wiki! Anyone can find it since it's listed in the Tutorials page!!!

All I'm asking is that on the tutorial, a note be added that it is not for a current FreeCAD version yet!

[jriegel]

Ok, that we have to disclose !

You're right, I should have done that. Can anybody tell me how to add a BIG warning in a coloured box like I remember seeing on some other pages?

It's a template Yorik did in CSS, it's called with a custom tag. The Download page uses it: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/ ... e=Download

The tag is as follows:

Code: Select all

{{VeryImportantMessage|'''FreeCAD is under heavy development and might not be ready for production use'''}}

I don't think you get to set a specific color though.
