Re: Where to store variables, and referencing parent Part

You might look at the Assembly4 workbench. I use it for assemblies, but I also use it as a convenient and lightweight way of storing arbitrary properties that I use as parametric values for almost everything. Put simply, this workbench adds, among other things, an App::PropertyContainer named "...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

... Actually, the entire handling of LCS was wrong. There is a new version out v0.50.6, can you please update and test with your files ? There are probably still some corner cases that I didn't think of @Zolko: Sorry for the delayed reply. I have been testing with v0.50.6 and every case that I have...

Re: [Sketcher] Clearer icons for : Polyline, toggle construction, toggle constraints, toggle active constraints, ext geo

Looks good, I think the cursor icons should change to a blue version as well. (and currently the cursor icons are not the same as the ones in the toolbar: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/11352 ) I agree with @maxwxyz. I think the icon located below and to the right of the mouse cursor sho...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

... Today, I noticed that the distance measured is reported as zero when measuring distances between the LCSes of two inserted parts in an Assembly. It does not matter if the two inserted parts and the same or different "source" parts in the "Parts" group. you're right, that's a...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Hi Zolko, The A4 measurement tool remains my favorite measurement tool in FreeCAD! I use it all the time. Today, I noticed that the distance measured is reported as zero when measuring distances between the LCSes of two inserted parts in an Assembly. It does not matter if the two inserted parts and ...

Assembly 4 + TechDraw problem on FC 0.20 weekly

I previously created some Assembly 4 assemblies with FreeCAD 0.19 and used TechDraw to make simple drawings of these assemblies. No problem. But, when I open any of those files with FreeCAD 0.20 (weekly build 0.20.27936 (Git) AppImage), I find that any TechDraw drawings that reference either an Asse...

Re: Sketcher : Scale geometries

Sketcher allows a constraint's value to be assigned a name for subsequent use in other constraints. I am curious how you will handle cases where one or more of the constraints in a sketch have ExpressionEngine values rather than simple numeric values? For example, consider the case where you create ...

@ adrianinsaval I don't mind the diagonal divider line either. If it is retained, I also think that all of the "toggle" settings should use a consistent divider color and use a color that would make it easier for colorblind users to see it, maybe yellow. (see https://davidmathlogic.com/col...
