Is there a forum topic of this that I missed? :o this something I really want.
I found a comment on that in this post: Work in progress for version 0.19.

Feature requests: Enabling FreeCAD for sewing pattern making

I am a hobbyist sewer (my shirts are legendary :-) and I was looking around for an affordable tool to make sewing patterns for hobbyist, small bussinesses and 3rd world bussinesses. I know FreeCAD for 3D and point cloud applications and I tested a couple of tools specialized for sewing patterns (Val...

Re: Crash on loading project with scripted object

Create sketch and link it to at least one property of scripted object You should have made clear what you mean by linking. I did the following after steps 1 and 2: - create a sketch from Sketcher WB in XY-plane - create a horizontal line , left end in the origin - set as length (horizontal distance...

Crash on loading project with scripted object

I have created a project containing a scripted object (run macro attached for creation) and a sketch object refering to the properties of the object. Saving of the project is no problem but loading crashes FreeCAD. Any ideas what is wrong? If my script is buggy I would expect a more robust behaviour...

Re: sketch offset tool

Seems logical as 0.18 is hardly released and 0.19 just started its development cycle. I am waiting for the sketch offset too, because I discovered a new application with FreeCad for me. I started sewing a year ago and I am using FreeCad now as sewing pattern design software. The parametric sketcher...

Convert Sketch "TUR" in the Draft workbench with the function "Convert bidirectionally between draft and sketch" Copy the new sketch 4 times Delete inside the sketches so you end with sketches: T U R Umlaut-Left Umlaut_Right Do for the sketches a 2D offset with the option Fill o...

Re: 3d offset fails on 3d letters

Is there alternatively a method to split separate objects automatically? I know this from Inkscape where you can split independent paths combined in one path object into separate path objects. I guess this could be simple in 3d too. Could I otherwise do a 2d offset on the sketch? I tried this but f...

3d offset fails on 3d letters

I created some text in draft workbench, then used Part->Extrude to give it some thickness and finally tried to add a 3d offset to this object. The last step fails with the error message: "Eingabefehler: BRepOffsetAPI_MakeOffsetShape not done". I have no clue what is going wrong here. Any h...
