Re: Github Issue re ClipGroup
Now that I'm reading that @wandererfan, I wonder if ClipGroup are actually of any use. Maybe I have fixed something that actually needs to be removed altogether. Can power users of techdraw weight in to explain the usecases (if any) of the clip group? Or if this tool should be deprecated. Hi, I cur...

Re: Drawing of Assembly "Exploded Views"
@aapo You are correct it would be better to have minimal impact on techdraw and encapsulate as much as possible in the exploded view object. Now the question is, is it doable. As exploded views are App::FeaturePython we are still going to need to handle them specifically in shapeExtractor. But at l...

Re: Drawing of Assembly "Exploded Views"
@wandererfan what do you think would be the best way? Is it acceptable that techdraw has Assembly as dependency? (the above snippet is simplified and in fact needs a few utils function from assembly). I was thinking that perhaps when the user creates a view with the normal tool, we could detect tha...

Re: Who can help if not Zolko
We are surprised about the attitude in a forum about free software that we must not discuss such a dramatic decision. It was always said, that Free in FreeCAD means more than free beer. Is this still the case? Was it really necessary to play such a power game between the developers and Zolko? Of co...

Re: Issue #5694 Broken View
This would work for a single break, but when there are multiple breaks on the same shape, each break affects the positions of all the other breaks - a sort of circular dependency. I would think that each break should have their own Sketch in the 3D model (so strictly one break per one sketch, but p...

Re: Issue #5694 Broken View
Suggestion: You could use the actual geometry in the Sketch for making the break line shape. That way, if the user would make the (nicely shaped) break lines for each cut, you'd be able to use the user-made break lines for both the slicing operation and the actual break line drawing by re-using the ...

Re: ASM4 - Yankee_Differential_Cardan - Progress
This is annoyingly similar to what has happened to sketches in links: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/11958 which has yet to be addressed. Indeed, and I think the problem with the Sketches is actually in the PartDesign GUI part of the Sketch handling, so the same problem may very well aff...

Re: [announcement] first version of Toponaming is ready for testing
It now seems to me that the Toponaming merge phase 2 has been completed, and there has been a lot of toponaming work merged to the main branch lately. It seems to me that currently the Toponaming is very active and there's a lot happening at the moment. I don't know for sure, but I'd expect that the...

Re: New 3d CAD based on opencascade & solvespace
What Solvespace as far as I understand it does differently is that the constraint solver also works in 3d there. What comes closest to this are probably the constraint based assembly workbenches. Yes, that could be it. The more correct way for Dune3D author would have been to state it has constrain...
