Re: pocket becomes a pad

Thank you @domad, Part Design Hole is impervious to the geometry errors in the STEP file and produces a clean hole through the reinforcement feature. I would still like to understand and resolve the geometry errors for future problems. I'm going to need to make some not round pockets in the other si...

Re: pocket becomes a pad

I think chrisb has found the culprit being a poorly formed step file with 1600+ (!) errors. I was unaware of the Part CheckGeometry feature, thanks for that. Here is the Part CheckGeometry error log: http://208.113.130.194/f17ae9d4/pub/images/freecad_pocket_pad.txt I had noticed that the pocket does...

Re: pocket becomes a pad

I had tried Boolean cuts as well, from both the Part Workbench and the Part Design Workbench. Neither worked.

pocket becomes a pad

Attempting a very simple pocket in an imported STEP file results in some high strange behavior. A pocket is made through the sidewall of the case but then appears to become a pad on the inside of the case, as shown in the second screenshot below. Suspect some irregularity with the imported STEP file...

Re: Insert Bitmap Image, can't change object width or height

If you set the property Crop in the View tab to True does it work then for you to change the image size? Hi wmayer, yes, with the property Crop in the View tab set to True, I can now change the size of the image view frame on the page. Thanks. I'll call this one a user error but maybe we can mentio...

Re: Insert Bitmap Image, can't change object width or height

Roy_043 - thanks for confirming I am not losing my marbles 🤪 I'll dig up an old release to get through my current task. chris_b - the problem doesn't seem to be specific to a file. I created a few new blank FCStd files with blank TechDraw templates and tried a few different PNG images with consisten...

Insert Bitmap Image, can't change object width or height

I am able to insert PNG images into a Techdraw page with the default width and height of 100 units and adjust the scale of the image without any difficulty. However, I don't seem to be able to adjust the width and height of the image object. I can alter the width and height values in the Combo View ...

Re: The download for Mac users fails to work

Then I get the clear answer why it fails: Sorry, "FreeCAD" can not be run on this version of macOS. Qt requires macOS 10.12.0 or later, you have macOS 10.11.6. Obviously I need a new Mac now. Here is the complete terminal output: I had the same problem. Even after bypassing MacOS Gatekeep...
