completely unrelated, you probably just changed your Mouse navigation style, check the linked wiki page and switch back to your preferred model. Yep, changing it to Gesture did the trick. This was my first install on the new laptop and I hadn't changed anything so I assume FreeCAD had CAD set as de...

I also have a Ryzen based system and have similar but different symptoms, which are identical in the latest stable version and the weekly build - details below. Previous laptop any new version, my left mouse button rotated the viewpoint, the right button moved the view in the window up/down/left/rig...

I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread but it's just a fantastic tribute to the power of search and the dedication of those who give clear, detailed answers here.
This answered all my questions and I have exactly what I needed.

Thanks folks!

Hi Chris Thanks for the pointer, I'm back up and running again. In case anyone stumbles on this post when looking for answers my issue (Radeon 530 graphics in a Dell laptop) was fixed by option 6.2 under Windows in the post you linked to (copying the opengl32 driver to the bin folder). For info, the...

Firstly, I believe that this is an issue with my computer, not FreeCAD but FreeCAD is the only software doing this. I have a Dell laptop that has run FreeCAD for several years, almost always the most recent development version. Today I tried with weekly build 24894, then the current 25429. Both show...

Did you try to save the file and reload it? When I set transparency somewhere around 70 on any part in the Goal Post file (I do not get a wire frame; note that high transparency >80 with flat lines might look like a wireframe), save the file and reload it, transparency is no longer displayed on any...

I downloaded your file and played with the transparency of 2-1 Sleeve. The image attached is with transparency set at 33. It seems to be showing the lines of the part below as you would expect but no wireframe on that part or anywhere else. Same result on the 'stable' version I downloaded a while ag...

Sigh! Surrounded by technology and we still can't do without

Thanks everyone

I'm not sure if people will think this belongs here but I can't find a good 3d printing forum to ask on. I'm trying to get information of the tolerances I should apply when designing in freecad such that parts which should fit one inside the other do so but with the minimum play. The screenshot belo...

I'll keep out of the ongoing debate but thanks for taking the time to respond. I'm new to FreeCAD but I started learning 'technical drawing' in the mid 1970s when my teacher confidently told everyone that computers would take lots of jobs but they'd never do what a skilled draughtsman could do. I th...
