Re: Merge lattice WB as a tool in PD

And what’s bad about having a separate Workbench? While I see the great advantage of individual workbenches, especially as they can work very beneficially as flexible 'mini development branchs' for individual developers. However for users, especially those starting out or gaining experience in an a...

Re: Pie Menu Improved

Really like the seperator!
Having 'fun' arranging concentric menus

A quick question, request?

Is it possible to allow outer rings to be offset by a 1/2 space/icon to allow sectors of
functions to be generated?

Great application/work

Many Thanks

Re: Automatic sketch equal sized circles (and possibly other shapes)

x number of circles, no need to drag the radius for each.
Certainly a possibility but seems more clicks and an break in the design flow. Don't think it would
work for fillets etc, will need to check whne I am next in fron of FC

Re: Automatic sketch equal sized circles (and possibly other shapes)

Sorry postings crossed in the ether https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_Const ... eter#Notes But as I understand this it is post the drawing of the circle, not as an aid while drawing? another "auto" thing to disable before using FreeCAD Fully understand it may not be for everyone, but I wou...

Re: Automatic sketch equal sized circles (and possibly other shapes)

Chrisb because removing unintended autoconstraints can take more time than it saves. I can see this, but if the snap limits are set correctly* (or user adjustable) I thinka user would quickly become adept at over exaggerting a radius (too big or to small) if you wanted to prompt a dimension input. *...

Re: Tips for Speeding Up Complex Model

If any feature does not have children (or they are also not required for the
feature you are inputing at the tip) have you tried using the 'suppressed'
option?

I haven't tried it on large models in Master, but I would hope
it would reduce computation

Automatic sketch equal sized circles (and possibly other shapes)

Apologies if this may already be possible, but I haven't found how to do it/forum reference (probably wrong search terms) I am often drawing a number of circles in a sketch, e.g. clearance holes for screws/bolts etc. I think it would be nice if as you drag out sequential circles* they snapped to the...
