Unlike body, each solid will not have its own placement, which is crucial so that the features that construct those solids can be freely referenced by other features without requiring a binder or link. In other words, features of solids within the same body all live in the same coordinate system Ha...
you must be kidding: you're using an assembly workbench to make an assembly, but not using the tools that the workbench is providing, and instead using some personal workflow coming from a workbench made to design single parts. And then you're complaining that things don't go smoothly. it's just an...
2nd example, potentially much more valuable. this one i have to fake completely with Part. a few sketch defining the wireframe of a "Frame", an d sketch of the tubing profile i wish to use for this frame. i would like this profile to be a link to a sketch that resides in its own file. for the mockup...
The normal Link overrides the linked object's Placement, which obviously does not work in Part Design use case. If i understand this point correctly, i think there are still valid use cases. The first use case i had in mind was to replace shapebinder for some cases to reduce repetitive work that cr...
This entire thread sounds like you are having a stroke I already knew you consider yourself a mind reader, good to know you're a doctor as well. It's not a conspiracy against App Link I never alleged any conspiracy. There is a long history behind Part Design, Part Design Next, etc. Going a long way...
I'm afraid it is more complicated than that: Appropriate constraints have to be added depending on the type of reference. i'll take your word for it. i was simply looking at it from the perspective that right now, i can have a sketch with externally linked geometry, normal geometry and construction...
so if the Part Design devs are not interested in taking advantage of link for their own purposes here's what a workaround might look like: a "contraband" container for links. if he had the time and we could agree on a price, i would gladly pay Realthunder to make something look like a sketch but is ...
link is amazing. if you send a link to console, >>> # Gui.Selection.addSelection('link_amazeballs','Part','Link.') >>> ### Begin command Std_SendToPythonConsole >>> obj = App.getDocument("link_amazeballs").getObject("Link") >>> ### End command Std_SendToPythonConsole >>> obj <App::Link object> >>> i...
