Re: Image Workbench is missing on the latest Weekly.

Thank you for all your work so far. I've discovered how to drag and drop image files into the project. The only 2 issues left would be: 1.) Handling of old files created with the former workbench. As stated before, these files lose their images I have files drawings that cannot be opened now. Gets t...

Re: Image Workbench is missing on the latest Weekly.

Glad to see it's being worked on. But yes, this does change old files and really changes existing files. If the old functionality can be preserved. I do see Load Image in the Tools menu. Is this part of the fix? It just happens to be a feature I have been using a LOT lately. It disappeared on me mid...

Re: Image Workbench is missing on the latest Weekly.

For me personally and I'm sure for others, the beauty of the Image Workbench was for reverse engineering. I could use it to scale to size to create objects from images. Just scale and position. Then start drafting and sketching to trace and create an object in 3D. As a separate workbench? Ok, I can ...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Sounds about right. The original objects were built on older computers with FreeCAD 0.17 and 0.18. Now you probably noticed, I built the assembly model on something with a lot of power. PartDesign workbench works great, but makes the objects resource pigs. The tulip with the revolves and grooves can...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Plus, for some reason, when I rotate, the objects drift. Not sure why.

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

I can animate with Assemby4, but to animate multiple variables? Say, movement through its range plus rotation? I have it uploaded to git. It's just private right now.

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

If you'd like to see the working file, let me know. Obviously it's too big to upload as an attachment. My next step would probably be to write a script to animate it.

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Well, I managed to fix my sketch flipping. Zolko, you were correct. I had to basically pick a different plane and stick with it. I had to take my CV path sketch and try to keep it in the YZ plane and adjust the angle of it with plenty of use of the Pythagorean theorem. I added a sketch to figure out...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

The parallel systems or A arm based systems are in the same plane as the CV axle (YZ plane).

The trailing arm type system like I'm using travels in the XZ plane while the CV axle is primarily in the YZ plane.

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

I think I understand what I have to do to correct it to get a full suspension sweep through the XY plane without flipping. Any ideas? Let me know. Otherwise, I'll be back in a few days.
