Re: FreeCad delete nodes

The DXF-format is used as file format by these 2D-CAD-programs: https://librecad.org/ and https://www.qcad.org/en/.
So I would try the above programs first.

Re: FreeCAD on the web

But how many paper authors follow such a standard? All I wanted to say, there exist citing styles, which allow to cite software directly without the need of a corresponding paper. So we can go forward and request proper citation on the FreeCAD website, in order to avoid only mentioned in the text a...

Re: FEM: Status of old GMSH interface PR and discussion of STL meshing through GMSH

I only found http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html# ... ource-code but this is not really satisfying. ENABLE_OPENMP should include multithreading. See here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenMP There is also ENABLE_MPI, but it is not used for meshing, according to the above cited Gmsh documentatio...

Re: FreeCAD on the web

we can publish in an open source journal and then we can cite. Actually the world is more electronically and does not need a paper for a citation. The rules for technical citations are defined in ISO 690. The section 5.1 describes how to cite computer programs. See here: http://paedpsych.jk.uni-lin...

I would not try to generate a sketch in a makro, but generate the profile directly with Part lines and arcs and make a Part wire from it. As you can calculate all vertexes in the macro, you do not need the sketcher solver at all.

Re: Is there such workbench for charting?

The shown charting example of the OP is not that much related to FreeCAD. But the charting program Visio has in its professional version a 2D-drawing program for mechanics and is used for indoor room planning as well. Furthermore it has a module for piping and instrumentation diagrams usable for che...

Re: FCStd1 Datei lässt sich nicht öffnen

Am besten die FCStd1-Datei kopieren und unter einem neuen Namen mit der Endung FCStd speichern. Dann versuchen diese Datei mit FreeCAD zu öffnen.

Re: Flipping Horizontally (Mirroring) A Mesh...

This PR will add the mirror mesh feature command to OpenSCAD workbench. I had a short look at your pull request. FreeCAD has a paradigm in separating functions and gui operations, in order to allow call functions without the gui. This allows FreeCAD to run in server mode. So can you change your pul...

Re: Flipping Horizontally (Mirroring) A Mesh...

I should really post a feature request because in my opinion it's a little bit crazy that you can't do that... You can do just about anything else. You need to use python, than FreeCAD can do nearly all what you want. ;) There is the workbench OpenSCAD, which uses the program OpenSCAD to do operati...

Re: GT2, GT3 and GT5 Timing Gear Creator

Anyway, I think we need to do some more research on this kind of gears to get them right. Yes, here is a start: https://law.resource.org/pub/in/bis/S01/is.11507.2009.pdf But the corresponding ISO Standard seems to be retracted. The following document provides on page 36 a list of standards for belt...
