For Part Design, FC14 permitted rotating sketches, (as seen in the old FreeCAD Lesson 02 - Whiffle Ball video tutorial). Unfortunately, it seems that FC19 forbids this because the Base Placement ellipsis button is missing. Would it be possible to restore the Base Placement ellipsis button for sketch...

For Part Design, FC14 permitted padding more than 1 shape within the same sketch, (per the old FreeCAD Lesson 02 - Whiffle Ball video tutorial). Unfortunately, it seems that FC19 forbids this. Could this capability be restored, please? Thank you.

Thank you kindly, yorik, for working on getting Draft ShapeStrings to be editable. If this could possibly be included in 0.19, then that would be so much appreciated. Thanks again, and I wish you a great day.

Thank you kindly for sharing your screenshots. I relaunched FreeCAD 18.4, hoping to see the results that you documented, but unfortunately did not. Regrettably, the background color of my cell B2 is white, the Alias is absent, and the related sketch has a red exclamation mark. At this point, I am no...

When you open the Spreadsheet of my test drawing, is the background color of cell B2 white or yellow?

Attached is a test file in which I replicated the error. I sketched a box and then created a Spreadsheet and two (2) Spreadsheet Aliases, (FloorWidth and FloorLength). I assigned the Aliases to the Sketch. I saved the drawing. I then changed the default alignment of the Alias, (FloorWidth), and then...

It appears that FreeCAD will delete a Spreadsheet Alias if the cell's alignment is changed from its default alignment.

FreeCAD 18.4 will not permit the inclusion of spaces or special characters when creating Spreadsheet Aliases. FreeCAD signals that an Alias is acceptable when it changes the text to black during creation, and then changes the cell's background color to yellow when exiting the cell's Contents bar. Af...

Why does FreeCAD 18.4 delete Spreadsheet Aliases when drawing is closed? Please note that I save my drawing after creating each Alias, and again prior to closing my drawing. Sometimes all of my Spreadsheet Aliases disappear after closing and reopening the drawing, and sometimes just the older Aliase...
