selective svg export

I have a model I originally was trying to 3d print in nylon, but the results of printing are not precise enough (totally flat, hard surface required), so I'm having to cut it with a CNC machine out of a machinable nylon. I'd like to avoid rebuilding the model in inkscape or similar, so I thought I w...

Re: Convex fillet on circle

This topic would be less confusing if you used the correct terminology. Your file already shows a *convex* fillet. Ugh. Red-face here. I would swear I looked at a profile in a more complex drawing and it was concave, but obviously I'm seeing things. And once you think it's one way, it's hard to see...

Re: Convex fillet on circle

all the fillets are done perfectly: all the convex ones at once by selecting them with the Ctrl key pressed, the same for the concaves, the same for those of the circles You miss the point. I'm not worried about getting all the edges filleted. I want a way to make a *convex* fillet on the *circle*....

Convex fillet on circle

Seems like this should have come up already, but my searches came up empty Is there a way to use the fillet operation to make a *convex* fillet on a circle? If I put a fillet on an edge of the cube, I get a convex fillet. If I put a fillet on an interior edge between the narrow cutout of the cube an...

Re: Is anyone else seeing Sketcher drawing 0.0 dia. circles?

Thanks, I missed the part about not being able to edit the already created constraint. I thought it was just the ability to set a circular constraint on a very small circle.

Re: A2Plus can't rotate

@thomas-neemann Thanks, I would appreciate it. I'm guessing the lack of responses says something about how many people are using A2plus. I'm curious how people with some of the more complex models I see do their assembly; are most doing it manually, or using one of the other assembly plugins? My att...

A2Plus can't rotate

New to using A2Plus assembly tool. In the attached model, when I click on the "Trkr_3_Panel_Bracket_001" object and then "Move the selected part under constraints", it rotates about the first axis, not the one in the hole for the selected part. If I add an additional constraint t...

Re: Is anyone else seeing Sketcher drawing 0.0 dia. circles?

Don't know if this helps or not. I'm running a ~6 months old version of 0.20, but I noticed that the object created is actually a circle of diameter 0.0mm -- I see the object as a circle in sketcher's elements. Selecting that circle (the one in elements), allows me to click on the diameter constrain...

Re: Refer to length of line in a sketch?

Thanks all for the ideas and suggestions. Yes, I'd like to have the constraint in the same sketch; I'm familiar with referencing a constraint from another sketch. The circle radius/diameter example is clever but too special case for my liking; the triangle is something to remember, but as stated pre...
