Re: Merging Fasteners and Gears in Part wb?

I am not a mech person, but how would that work if a specific fastener that is not available in the current 'library' already exists in the file? Anything new might need to be modeled and added to the library. A company will have many custom made items like springs, gaskets, buttons, overlays. The ...

Re: Change coloring of a standard icon?

Can’t you modify their svg files in Inkscape ? Yes. but I wanted to do this at load time without storing the file. I was hoping for a small tweak of the svg file to change a base color or background color for instance. I then might be able to make color definable logic states for an icon. For insta...

Here is a link that I believe shows how but the coding is over my head. https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=76209 What I wo...

Re: Merging Fasteners and Gears in Part wb?

I don't think the Workbench approach was totally planned out from day-one but it seems to have traction now. The developers have made it easy to clone a Workbench. My guess is that in 5 years there will be many PartDesign clones and the one that is the easiest, most powerful, stable, friendly to us...

I presume it could be used to get someone fired from their job by logging in during work hours, maybe that's OK because employees should be monitored. That's where...
