I downloaded this days the entire Hettich fixtures library. They are all 3D DWG files and I need to find a way to batch-convert all this files into .FCStd files. Have somebody a script to do this automatically?

imos fitting data

For now I managed to convert them to 3DM (Rhino) format.

We need to create a library with fixture and panels parts that can be easily inserted. We already have a Vendows Part Workbench that can be adapted to our needs. FreeCAD_PartsToolbox Looks like this feature it is no longer developed. Also this FreeCAD Fasteners Workbench and this Rethinking the &quo...

Furniture factories can afford expensive tools like CNC and programs like Autodesk, they don't use something like FreeCAD. I saw that woodworkers in Poland use SketchUp but generally they don't need to design anything, maybe piece of paper. You are missing the point. The objective of this workbench...

Because they get money so they have the whole infrastructure to promote it. But if you go to the store you may not find exact Blum hinge with a soft close. Also in store in Poland the cheapest noname hinge costs about 3 pln, but the Blum one costs 10 pln or even 20 pln in special luxury shop. So if...

Therefore, no one plans it that closely. This is a certain skill in assembling furniture, and part of the process that has to be done by hand at this stage, unfortunately. The hardware manufacturers (Hafele, Hettich, Blum, etc) are offering CAD drawings and 3D models for all their parts, and all th...

They are just examples on how other software's are dealing with this tasks.

Basically FreeCAD Furniture workbench needs to be able to produce something like this and all the wood panels to have grain orientation: cabinet.PNG There are different workflows used by different softwares to achieve this result. Interiorcad have a good workflow, also SolidWorks have good tools to ...

Why you need spreadsheet for woodworking with if and else?

To be able to adjust dinamically the number of dowels and other conectors based on the panel sizes. IF panel with = 500mm = use 3 dowels, ELIF > 600 = use 4 dowels, ELSE use 2 dowels.

1 more star from my side.

The parts and nesting module needs to add support for Grain orientation in the first place, a thing that it is a must for any furniture manufacturer.
