Re: LibreOffice with Python 3.5

OK, so now I feel like a complete idjit, which is not terribly unusual. I added an additional note on the bug ticket (#2957), with the new observation that I actually tried out the spreadsheet functionality with the TechDraw workbench and found that it seems to work fine. Also uploaded a sample draw...

Re: LibreOffice with Python 3.5

OK, thanks for the feedback. Heda's idea is intriguing; I had not thought to approach it from that direction. Also jmaustpc's thought, which I haven't looked at at all, and I'll see if I can review the stuff on the GitHub link mentioned. I'll keep looking at this as it sounds as if there might end u...

Re: LibreOffice with Python 3.5

All: I've been attempting to work on "Bug #0002957: please add spreadsheet direct printing" from your "Low Hanging Fruit" list. After several days of banging my head against it, my conclusions are that (1) developing a direct spreadsheet print function in FreeCAD makes no sense w...

Re: Ticket #2652 transparent cylinder in foreground only shown as wireframe when mouse over a transparent box in the bac

Based on the discussion thread I think I'm doing this right. I downloaded the example drawing "Goal Post.FCStd", set the cylinder to 100% transparent as well as the box, and then orbited so that the box was completely behind one of the cylinders. Both elements are thus wireframed. Then, se...

Ticket #3670 - Thickness operation for part fails (upstream OCC bug)

Got another one of these -- Just so you're aware how I happen upon this situation, I'm trying to work up to doing some development work on FreeCAD. I've gotten a Git repository set up locally and I can get a clean compile of FC, so the next logical step is to try tackling some bugs. So I'm looking a...

Re: Ticket #3536: FreeCAD .17 / .18dev - Issues Under Windows High Contrast Mode

Not sure I helped anything on this one; apologies if I started an unnecessary controversy. I did spend some time this morning doing various combinations of creating sketches, editing etc. under normal mode and high contrast mode, on the two workstations I have (both Win 10 machines, but two differen...

Re: Ticket #3536: FreeCAD .17 / .18dev - Issues Under Windows High Contrast Mode

I looked at this issue just now. Best I can tell, I cannot confirm it on my machine. Under High-Contrast mode sketch elements appear to operate as would be expected. I'm using 0.19. Is it possible the newer version fixes it? Here's my system info. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50717116768_cf07...
