Re: Drawing dimensioning workbench for FreeCAD v0.15

I don't consider it an empty comment, just information for anybody else that may be considering trying it that they will probably experience problems as well as seeing something that will improve the usefulness of Freecad As I get more time to try it I can post more details about what it can do. I c...

Re: Drawing dimensioning workbench for FreeCAD v0.15

I just tried this and while it is buggy, and crashed several times, it comes close to making Freecad a whole lot more brilliant and useful.

Re: ? Advantages of Using Two Monitors ?

I tried two monitors for the first time a few weeks ago and gave up after an hour and went back to a single monitor. I could not see any advantages at all.

I am running Linux with multiple desktops, I don't know if Windows has the same capability

Re: I am NEW and have problems drawing second object

Thanks! I didn't mean to be sarcastic, but there a few people around here who really try to help and they are not always given the help that they need to answer queries easily.

Re: Corrupt sketches

I am a relative Freecad novice so I don't normally reply to requests for help but I'm just passing this way so I'll try. When the sketch is in editing mode, change the constraints filter to ALL.

Re: Why Do I Need To Post My FreeCAD Info?

Is it possible to include the request for Freecad version info anywhere on the post a new reply page?

I was looking at another forum a few months ago which is not directly cad related, but someone posted asking for help with a problem and the first reply was to take a look at Freecad. The original poster replied that they had already been here but because of the attitude on the forum, they would not...
