Re: [Solved] Cross-reference part shape from another file
Would you please share how you managed to do that? I have been trying but if I create a sub shape binder, then drag it to another file, it creates a copy from the original file. Tried everything else I could think of too.

Lucky packet Undo
How do you guys use undo. I find only some functions honor it, others do not. I will often find I will want to undo an action, however the last actioned I performed remains, and something else will happen. e.g. I apply a color to an item. Its covers the whole object and not the surface I selected, s...

Re: Perspective Viewport Properties
After all these years does somebody know if there is a GUI for camera properties, __including__ these lens properties? If not, would it be a welcome thing to have? If yes, is there some module/marcro/source code known that comes most close as a starting point? Did someone already dig into such proj...

Re: feature request: focal length parameter for perspective view
You have already a link to FCCamera in your post. You can use it for controlling the camera position. Camera position is different to the focal length of the camera. Please check out this video that explains what focal length is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBuaG1_sA5k The default focal length ...

How to apply clip paths and find where the items went?
When I apply a clip path, it seem to move the original drawing, and then I go on a easter egg hunt adjusting X/Y values trying to find the part of the drawing I wish to show.
How do you find the part in a drawing to show when apply a clip path?

Re: Critique my Drawing/ why is my drawing so slow
run_the_race, do you know that you can turn off automatic updates "keep Updated" for drawings. This can speed things up a bunch if you not making changes to the model. Maybe take the complex circuit board and use Part "Simple copy". This can take all those Parts and make them on...

Re: Critique my Drawing/ why is my drawing so slow
The problem is, that all is in one file and whwn you change anything, everything about depends on it refreshes, even when it i not in the view. If you want that in one file, then you can Toogle KeepUpdated (right click on the page), then it only recalculate when the function Redraw Page . But this ...

Critique my Drawing/ why is my drawing so slow
I have spend many many months making this drawing, and it is my first FreeCAD project, well actually fourth because I started from scratch 4 times trying to draw it in a robust way. On my adventure I learnt about the topological naming issue, and about reference planes and binders, and I tried to us...

FreeCAD interesting choice of workbenches
I find the default choice or workbenches in FreeCAD quite interesting. With Version 0.2 I see there is now a `glider` workbench, I thought surely its not for designing gliders... must be a metaphor... its for designing gliders. I would imagine there are a lot more people using `Sheetmetal`, `fastene...
