Re: Datum Plane: Need Help and when to use them
1: I understood the first part of your reply, Do Not attach Datum Plane to Face. Can you clarify the following: "If you attach DatumPlanes only to the principal planes or to sketches and move them if necessary with their AttachmentPlacement and attach Sketches to these planes, then your models ...

Datum Plane: Need Help and when to use them
I'm having a hard time understanding Datum (point, line & plane). First of all, when should they be used and when not to use them? I've seen videos that they attached a datum plane to the face of an object and then attaching a sketch to datum plane. Why not attach the sketch directly to the face...

Re: Questions about creating a Loft under 0.17
Can you show me how to loft under the PartDesign Workbench. I can not find the same or similar "Utility to loft" symbol in the PartDesign Workbench that I can in the Part Workbench, That's why I used the Part Loft tool.

Questions about creating a Loft under 0.17
I noticed the lofted part is not under the Body once the lofted part is created, is that correct? To create my lofted part I created two sketches, adjusted the z-axis on one of them (Super Placement Position) under the PartDesign Workbench. Then I changed to the Part Workbench and selected the Loft ...

Re: 0.17: Refer to Bug 3012: Deleting a feature from the tree does not propagate (update) the object properly.
Sorry chrisb, NormandC was helping me with this post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=21841&p=169845#p169845. I was asking why can't I delete a feature from the tree. Unfortunately, if you delete Pocket004, the Body will no longer be selectable for the Part Mirror tool. I don...

Re: 0.17 problems with padding a mirrored face
I created a bug (3012) and a new topic under the Development / Part Design module development. I couldn't figure out how to link the two so I just copied and paste the same content. Let me know if there is any thing that I missed. By the way, thanks again for all of your help.

0.17: Refer to Bug 3012: Deleting a feature from the tree does not propagate (update) the object properly.
I've attach two file below. In the groove file, if you try to delete the groove feature from the tree, the groove is not being removed from Pocket (last feature). The same is true for the pocket file, deleting the pocket feature from the tree, the pocket is not removed from Pad001 (last feature). po...

Re: 0.17 problems with padding a mirrored face
Unfortunately, if you delete Pocket004, the Body will no longer be selectable for the Part Mirror tool. I don't understand why. It's probably a bug. If you think this is a bug should I do a bug report on it for the developers? I've tried deleting a feature from tree on a simpler object and I get th...

Re: 0.17 problems with padding a mirrored face
NormandC, I'm unable to view the sketches in your file. I've down loaded it twice, I'm able to open the file and view the 3D object. I can expand both Pads but when I click on the sketch nothing shows up. I've also tried clicking on the blue-green icons at the top of the screen under Sketcher Workbe...

Re: 0.17 problems with padding a mirrored face
I tried to build up the entire half of the model, now I want to make a change and am trying to delete Pad004 and it's sketch. Then I'll mirror it, is this the proper way to mirror? Also what do you mean by a point-to-point tangent constraints? I thought I was using tangent constraints from line to a...
