Re: Merging insert tools into one

Using current camera orientation is not more intuitive it's very confusing. Not sure if I agree with this statement. I look at the 3d model and say "yes, that is what I want in my drawing", push the button and that is what I get. There is also the case where the view is to be ortho to a f...

Re: close a view from python

Not tested, but I would look into something like this: >>> mw = Gui.getMainWindow() >>> windows = mw.getWindows() >>> toRemove = windows[1] >>> mw.removeWindow(toRemove) but it won't work for Spreadsheets or TechDrawPages as they are derived from MDIView and removeWindow only works with MDIView root...

Re: TechDraw - Dimensions don't match Sketch

Just a guess without the file, but I would check the projection direction against the sketch normal. Send the view to the python console then enter "obj.Direction". If the sketch is on a standard plane, but Direction has garbage in the low digits, then that's the problem. Just reset the D...

Re: Ondsel techdraw link dimensions

I'm running the latest dev version, is it possible that ondsel assemblies can not be used in techdraw to link dimensions? I can select the correct points, link them in techdraw to a dimension, but when I go to check out that dimension it is (very) wrong. It is simply impossible or am I doing someth...

Re: Testing Help Request - Cosmetics

Maybe i do not gt it, what in general is changed in the branch? The original intent of the CosmeticReview branch was to go though each tool that creates a cosmetic item and fix any of them that didn't give correct results, mainly scaling and rotation issues, but sometimes positioning. The big chang...

Re: View cosmetics somehow messed up

More background. I placed the ProjGroup views on sheet 1 and added sheet 2 with a front view so I could create a section view at a larger scale as there is no room on the first sheet. I am unable to create the section view from the ProjGroup then move that to another sheet (really confuses FreeCAD)...

don't bet on this, but I think one dialog supports external sources (file shares) and the other doesn't. There is a similar situation with bookmarks, and I think the one that supports shares doesn't support bookmarks. So, neither is perfect.

Re: View cosmetics somehow messed up

I had added lines in a view to represent circles normal to the view plane that do not show in Techdraw. Also added a section view. After adding a top rail to the model, I had to change spacing on the projected views. Now the section lines and all lines added in the drawing are no longer located in ...
