Hmmm yes. I like norman's idea of doing the part upside down as a loft in three sketches and then hollowing it out with part thickness. Apart from I was wanting to radius the top edges of the hopper. Might try it the same but right way up. The method of making often imposes limitations on the realit...

Cool thanks guys. Those pointers should get me underway again. What stars. On a side note the Loft tool claims I should see faces but i did'nt is this something that comes along if I upgrtade ubuntu ?? Originaly tried with the cone top sketch thinking i should see a face to loft from... Cheers Andy ...

Guys Hope you are all well. it has been a while since I bumped into something I needed to ask about. So this is good. Great progress on Freecad I use it a lot now for 3D Printing part's etc. Actualy pretty exclusively. Just in case the parts I make are useful for someone else I tend to put them most...

Could be paint/update order maybe ??

Here's the file.

If I did'nt know any better (And I don't) I would be thinking that somethi...

Ulp looks like I spoke too quick

After executing the changes to the information box the dimensions i had placed on the drawing have disapeared.....

That worked fine thanks guys. Must admit I never needed to do this before now. When tweaking placemnt etc in the View and Data sections it updated as I worked. This feels a little hit and miss too. I cant increment say the x placement value and see the part slide across the screen anymore I have to ...

Guys How do I execute something ?? I have a 2d sheet drawing (A3) of some parts with dimensions etc. This part is fine as it goes. The sheet information block won't update though I have opened up the data view and replaced the Editable Strings with what I need to show up in the information block but...
