The best way is to think before you start. It is by far not always trivial, but worth every minute you think about where to place your object in 3D space. This one should have YZ-plane go through the center of the object.

If you use a Cube primitive or a Part cube, you can use expressions for the x-, y- and z-component of the Placement/AttachmentOffset, e.g. for x:

Code: Select all

-Cube.Length/2

In Cura you have to configure the infill of solids.
100%: plastic rock solid
20%-30%: common infill, pretty stable
12%-20%: rather lightweight
0%: no infill.

Sketcher CreatePoint used to create points as construction geometry, because in nearly all cases that's what they are used for.

In current 0.22 they are here on macOS created as real geometry. Can others please confirm?

Sliptonic entwickelt die Fräs-Workbench eifrig weiter. Im Zuge dessen gab es auch die Umbenennung.

Alle Fehler solltest Du unbedingt auf Github melden.

You should not export sketches, but rather the gear, i.e. the solid created based on the sketches.

it is not obvious with the tiny print in the combo box Besides that I think you should always have a look at this to see your progress, this tiny box is backed up by the whole sketch turning red, which I would rate as extremely obvious. I guess I regard Dimensions as a form of constraint I fully ag...

@Leadhead I don't quite understand the approach. This is what I see:
There is a workbench (Sketcher), which does what you need, e.g. tangent lines.
Now you look at another workbench (Draft), which hasn't such features. So where is the problem? Why not just use Sketcher?

I guess it would be good if: 1) remove-redundant were the default or at least not so hidden, and A clear NO from my side. Let the machine do things that you don't understand is not a good option here. You will remain confused until you understand how geometric elements add degrees of freedom, and h...
