Re: Assembly4 and TechDraw

After playing around with it some more, it appears that the bearings are causing some of the problems (they are STEP files from McMaster). If I remove them from the assembly, then I can 'Insert a View' of the 'Model' no problem and all components show up. However, the issue from my previous post abo...

Re: Assembly4 and TechDraw

Perhaps I am missing something. For example, the 'LowerRoller_Spacer' is literally a washer (a sketch with 2 concentric circles and a pad), no datum objects. In the attached picture, 'View' is when selecting the 'LowerRoller_Spacer' and 'View001' is when selecting 'Washer'.

Re: Assembly4 and TechDraw

Yes, the assembly itself is visible. I noticed that if I selected one of the assembly components (instead of the whole model) and tried to 'Insert a View' I get the same blank template but it now shows a red dot with a white exclamation point on the 'view' icon in the Model tree. Hovering the mouse ...

Re: Assembly4 and TechDraw

Is there something special that needs to be done to get an assembly to show up in TechDraw? After selecting 'Model' and then 'Insert a View', it just shows me the blank template with the word 'View' in the middle of it, no errors, no warnings (see attached screenshot). I saw mention of part visibili...

Re: error "LineGroup.csv is not readable" after freecad upgrade

I'm having the same issues as OP after moving to 24789. Line Group File: /tmp/.mount_FreeCA2mSmcl/usr/share/Mod/TechDraw/LineGroup/LineGroup.csv is not readable I can navigate to the file and it opens just fine. I checked the preference pane as suggested by Syres and the path listed for the line gro...

Re: [How to?] Toggle show/hide LCS in Assembly4

Show/Hide LCS does work, however, I noticed that selecting Show LCS also then shows all of the datum planes too (created by part design workbench). I wouldn't say this a bug, but unwanted behavior. I was hoping for a single show/hide LCS solution instead of having to do it for each individual compo...

Re: [How to?] Toggle show/hide LCS in Assembly4

Did you ever find a solution to toggling LCS visibility? I'm in the same boat since the my assembly is crowded with LCS's that I'd like to hide when I do a model spin for colleagues.

Re: FEM constraints not on object when using placement (part design workbench)

I found a workaround for this issue until it can be fixed. Export the part design object to a STEP file, import the STEP file, apply the constraints to the newly imported object. Now the constraints follow the object as it's moved using placement.

Re: FEM constraints not on object when using placement

Thanks for the confirmation. I'll make sure to use the part workbench when using FEM.
