I am unable to select any workbenches in AddOn Manager.

Thank you all. I have never used a datum line before. This seems simple enough. BUT .... After creating the compound shape, when I change the attachment position of the disk pad, the polar pattern does not move with it. How can I create a compound shape that I can move around? And, in the test file ...

I wish to draw a disk, the center of which is not at the origin. Then I wish to put a hole near the rim of the disk, and use Polar Pattern to place additional holes around the circumference of the disk. But no matter what I try, the polar pattern is always referenced to the origin. If I draw the dis...

I'd like to try the FCGear Toolbox. I can't understand how to get it to show up in the Addon Manager.

Thanks for the reply. I'm afraid I'm not fluent enough to understand it all. But, I was able to create a new sketch with the polar pattern of slots. I don't understand this: "made the outer circle construction mode in that new sketch. Then pocketed with the new sketch and used the polar array p...

Is there a way to duplicate a shape in a sketch and rotate it about an axis? In this drawing you will see a thin slot. I need 8 of these rotated equidistantly around the center (Z axis). Is there a tool for this? OS: macOS Mojave (10.14) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: ...

Your reply was spot on, and noted everything I needed to do. A really succinct answer. It was so distilled I didn't understand it at first. Thanks.

Thanks to all. I was very close. I had tried the polar pattern feature from the toolbar, but the legs were not radial. My problem was that I padded the foot normally, and not symmetric to the plane. Once this was changed, my polar pattern worked fine.

So many things to learn....

I have a base object, which I would like to have three feet. How would you draw one foot, and then duplicate and rotate it for two more? I attach my file so you can see what I'm doing. I drew a foot and rotated the Y axis 120 degrees and -120 degrees. But the feet don't radiate from the center. I tr...
