[SOLVED] How do I watch/subscribe to a forum thread/post without commenting on it?
What the title says. I want to subscribe to https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?t=66130 but I don't want to spam it, but I can't find a button or any way to do it, for the life of me. I'm an idiot. If you click on the Tools button in the toolbar at the top, there is the 'Subscribe Topic' button....

Is it possible to show the axis name in the X,Y,Z indicator of the Navigation Cube
The Navigation Cube has a coordinate system indicator (the red, green and blue lines for the X, Y and Z axis respectively), but they show up as just lines. Is it possible to make each line show the name of the axis, like the main coordinate system in the corner does? I don't insist on the lines endi...

Re: Can you attach a sketch to 2 datum planes?
Not sure whether you are trying to give people a headache, can I ask why you can't just create the Sketch with these settings and have no Datum Planes? SketchXZ_21Offset.png I find Datum Planes more user friendly in terms of being able to quickly see what has been offset when working on complex unf...

Can you attach a sketch to 2 datum planes?
Basically what the title says. For example, let's say I have one datum plane on the XZ plane that I've offset 21 mm in the Z direction. Then I create a second datum plane on the XY plane that I've also offset 21 mm in the Z direction. Can I then create a sketch that's attached to both those datum pl...

Sketch Offset VS Datum Plane for parallel sketches
What's the best practice for sketches parallel to the planes? Offsetting them or using Datum Planes?

Re: Problem creating a shape in PartDesign using a Sweep and being able to repeat it later
The problem here is chicken and egg, the profile sketch is oversized to cut away the corners but also cuts wanted sections in patterns. Needed to prevent the formation of multisolids in the corners, but un-wanted at the sides in patterns. Solution reduce the profile sketch to exactness and , at the...

[SOLVED] Problem creating a shape in PartDesign using a Sweep and being able to repeat it later
I'm trying to create a part in PartDesign using either Additive or Subtractive Pipe/Sweep and be able to repeat it later with the parts touching using MultiTransform with Linear Pattern, but I am having a couple of problems. (The shape I'm trying to create can be seen in the attached FreeCAD file, i...

Re: Having trouble combining PartDesign Transformations
It's not possible that way. I thought so, but wasn't sure if it really was not possible, or was it that I didn't know how to do it. You need to look at the order of operations/placement of sketches. DP's are not needed by the way. Thank you! I managed to get rid of some DPs. If sketchoo5 is placed ...

Re: Having trouble combining PartDesign Transformations
you do "Refine = True" on the last poket to have a single compact object (without seeing the weld lines) and a Polar Array of 4 since your holes are symmetric around Z Thank you, but that is not what I was asking. I want to do a Polar Pattern on the Subtractive Cone around the Z axis with...
