openBrain, I had the "Rotation.Angle" printed and got .244346095279, the Euler is what I needed, it prints out at 14.0. Thank you. I was trying to get that info from this long thread about angles but that's a tough read at midnight. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=42185&start=50&hil...

My goal is to rotate an object a certain amount but first I need to read it's current angle so I can add to it. I have done this: Ang = App.ActiveDocument.Body001.Placement print(Ang) and get a print out: Placement[Pos=(0,0,0), Yaw-Pitch-Roll=(14,0,0)] The angle is 14 degrees but how do access that ...

Another approach, I made a macro that helps with visualizations. It isn't finished yet but it does work.

I would like to mouse select an object (Part container) in the graphic area and have the mouse jump to the 0,0,0 location of the object selected. I know FreeCAD knows how to do it because the transform tool does just that when it initially gets placed. I have looked around the forums and have not fo...

I'm using a SelObserver to select an object with a mouse, then I change it's location. What I have works except when I use it on 0.19 and select a link, the original moves but not the link. I read a bunch but I can't find how "sel = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection()[0]" needs a mod. Do I need to i...

Watch more tutorials. Select the last feature in the tree, hit the space bar.

Thanks, some of that is older version, some is Part. I get the feeling there is another job to do if one wants this to be seperated into categories and verified. Still I just spent 30 min. converting an LCD display into a Part Design file, I'm sure I could not draw it that fast. If we wanted to make...

I have never heard anyone reference a place on the site (here) to store some user created models. Basic stuff like cars, bathroom sinks, chairs, humans, electronics. I know there are models spread all over but I'm talking some storage where new users can open some basic models that we know the names...

This has no sense. A user that is drafting should stick with Draft, and one that is sketching should stick with Sketcher. Mixing both is a super bad idea.

I see that now. Draft and Arch appear to have their own drawing tools. I guess this only applies to Part.
Thanks

Draw a box/shape over the section you don't want and do a pocket?
