Pocket operation will do what you require, all you need to do is use the "Extensions" feature and set the "Default length" large enough to remove enough material to clean up the radii. Brilliant, thank you, that works! - I've never used the "Extensions" feature before ...

Without the file it's a guess: Your tool is too big for a pocket, which always stays on the face and cannot go over the hole in the center. Thanks Chris, I can attach the file if that will help. You are right though, the tool is 6mm endmill, the stock is 1.25" (31.75mm) bar so indeed the tool ...

Probably this could be made as a PR to developers, documenting the scope and maybe asking to a more "exposed" reference to the button. (In the sense of some "advised way" to make this action.) Thanks Carlo, it's the first time I've had a go at making a workbench and it's a steep...

If you dig through the source code and look at the ui files you can usually find the object name and reference that. Thanks Mark - it would probably be a safer solution to have the handle of the button. My way of finding it would not work if the button text has been changed because of translation.....

Don't worry, I've figured out how to do it with a recursive search through children of the main window - seems to work well. def enableOKButton(self, enabled): mw = FreeCADGui.getMainWindow() okBtn = self.findOkButton(mw) if okBtn != None: okBtn.setEnabled(enabled) def findOkButton(self, obj): if le...

I'd like to be able to enable or disable the "Ok" button in a TaskPanel but I can't seem to work out how to get the handle for the "Ok" button so that I can use the setEnabled method. Does anyone know how to access those buttons from python?

Ah great, thanks Chris, that's useful. I've just tried again with profile instead and it works perfectly.

I'm pocketing a part which has a hole drilled through it and I'm wondering how I can get Path to avoid pocketing where the drill hole has already removed material. Screenshot-path.png See the image above - the central hole is first drilled right through then a 6mm end mill is used to form the top po...

As a good practice, you should always use copies of shapes :

Code: Select all

body = pad._Body
obj.Shape = body.Shape.copy()

ah ok, good to know.
