Re: Newbie ... casting item

In my opinion, this isometric view is insufficient to build a model. We have no idea if the R95 arch really ends on the same plane as the R15/R28 ones. To my eye, it doesn't look like it.

Re: Newbie ... Editing the drawing templates

Hi :) If you use FreeCAD 0.16 my recommendation would be not to do it. To much known bugs working against you if you decide to do it. What alternatives are there :?: :idea: importing into INKSCAPE, LibreDRAW or LibreCAD :? Cheers :) OS: Windows 10 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit...
