Re: Storing FreeCAD files in a git repo
Hi Reox, To be honest I'm not familiar with the command lines of GIT. I use TortoiseGIT on Windows and was just trying to minimize the upload time for commits/push. Looking at the push log, it appears that the push file size may be not be a delta upload but rather GIT compressing the FCSTD file in t...

Re: Storing FreeCAD files in a git repo
if you choose STORE as compression, it will just put the file as is after the local file header. You can see the start of the first local file header in the editor: PK But doesn't GIT recognize the information after the header? When I perform commits with large FreeCAD files (300+MB), it doesn't ap...

Re: Storing FreeCAD files in a git repo
What happens when you disable compression within FreeCAD. Does GIT then handle the files properly?

Re: kicad StepUp: ECAD MCAD bidirectional collaboration
You are importing graphical artwork in a mechanical CAD. this is always very computational intensive. Anyway after the first conversion, the resulting file will be loaded faster. But remember that the resulting file will be very large. Kicad sw doesn't export tracks or silks for STEP output. StepUp...

Re: kicad StepUp: ECAD MCAD bidirectional collaboration
I think I figured things out on my own. I went to my %userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD and removed the older dxf py files, including the ones located in the Macro directory. After that, I downloaded the current libraries from https://github.com/yorikvanhavre/Draft-dxf-importer/ . After that the ...

(you need to have ths legacy dxf library loaded) 1) kicad StepUp version 8.1.0.8 2) I cannot post the DXF file, but I don't believ...

Re: kicad StepUp: ECAD MCAD bidirectional collaboration
I'm having trouble with loading the front silkscreen. When I run the ksu tools Add Silks, I select the DXF silkscreen plot export from KiCad, then I get this error. My settings in both KiCad and FreeCAD are setup per the cheat sheet. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? loading... Running the Python c...

Distortion After Applying Pocket
I'm trying to add a hole (pocket) to a somewhat simple part in FreeCAD. Every time I apply the pocket, the waves in the part distort. Any thoughts on how to add a simple hole to this part without the waves distorting? Any help is greatly appreciated. FreeCAD : 0.17.13541 BEFORE before.PNG AFTER afte...
