Hi all, FreeCAD code depends on Python deprecated module distutils which has now been removed from Python 3.12. Consequently, FreeCAD does not install/compile when Python is updated to 3.12. Fedora 39 has moved to Python 3.12 which means FreeCAD can no longer run. Fedora packagers/maintainers have r...

Roy_043 This is the solution. A bit tedious because of the relabelling of all parameters with the file name, but it works. What is not mentioned in the documentation is the need to have the spreadsheet project file open in the same FC instance as the model, otherwise references are not found. Thank...

A FreeCAD file (*.FCStd) is a zip file. You can perhaps play with the spreadsheet sub-file. I had a look at if. The spreadsheet is stored as an XML <Object name="…"> … </Object> in Document.xml . Thus, if I follow your suggestion, the procedure could be: import the spreadsheet into a blan...

Hi all, OS: Fedora Linux 38 (Thirty Eight) (KDE) Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.20.2.Unknown Build type: Unknown Python 3.11.1, Qt 5.15.8, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.2.5, OCC 7.6.3 Locale: French/France (fr_FR) I collect all my design parameters in an external spreadsheet because dedicated apps allo...

No, but I'll have a look at your suggestion.

Hi all, I'm trying to "template" my project through the use of "cloned sketches". Here is my procedure: I create one "master" sketch per object category, in my case various windows and doors Once tuned, these sketches are considered read-only. They have 2 degrees of fre...

@thomas-neemann: thanks for the suggestion; it works within sketches (though I wouldn't call it user-friendly).

Is there a similar trick for independent lines (not drawn inside sketches)? When bounds are defined by expressions, I doubt the expressions would transfer to the "duplicate".

Hi all, I draw a wireframe skeleton for inner walls, e.g. each segment is supposed to delimit a face of a wall and all segments are drawn inside a single sketch to make ultimately a single "logical" wall (and decrease the number of objects in the tree). Although I am very cautious about th...

I still have no idea how this could have happened inadvertently, Since I forgot to press `F2`, the sequences of characters perhaps provided a substitute for `View`>`Visibility`>`Mask object` on selected one(s). A recompute fixes the error. However, you may consider using more sensible names: There ...

Reduced file: 52ParmelanParm-forum.FCStd I had to remove many elements, among which the gables and a shed. My goal is to get all the sketches visible in the tree (at least the "primary" or template ones like IDoor sketch). Many of them have Show In Tree property set to false and can no lon...
