I'm not sure is it the good place to post : but i have create a pull request for a new feature : You picked the right forum (Developer's Corner), but you really should have started your own thread for this. You could also have posted in Open Discussion, or in a forum dedicated to the module / workb...

So BlenderGuru posted a video about the latest Blender 2.8 release. Most of it isn't directly related to FC, but I put it here because they stepped up their UI/UX by providing more on-screen control and making hot-keys less of a requirement. It's really kinda brief, but at one point they show how th...

SoText2 is not influenced by some transform operations :

I was starting to suspect that.

I suppose it could be done by writing the text to a texture in memory and projecting it on a face as a billboard sort of geometry...

Probably more work than it's worth to me at the moment.

Ok, so updating FreeCAD definitely helped. Text renders as I'd expect it to. But now I have another problem. :) Specifically, I added an SoTransform to the subgraph containing the SoFont and SoText2 nodes and generate an SbRotation object based on an angle. I assign it as follows, which should yield...

I also see the text without problems. Maybe it's due to graphics card? I have Intel HD 620. That could be. I have an NVidia Quadro card on my work system. It should be fine, though...

0.6.5.a1 here.

My FC release dates to August 19th. I have no way to update it because IT has locked down the computers. Maybe I can get that fixed eventually...

I'm trying to figure out setting font types using the SoFont node, using pivy. For example, I tried to use Cambria (I'm on a Win10 system atm) with no success, using 'Cambria' and 'Cambria Regular'. In each case, it rendered the default font, so it appears FC can't find it. Then I tried 'Times New R...

FreeCAD at Ohio LinuxFest! After I presented there last year, I had thought about coming back for a FreeCAD BoF session, but I really don't have the expertise to make a good show of it. Really glad someone else did! Wish I'd gone back this year!
