Done! The base vector of a mirror is also affected.

Yes, I see that if the object property is normally displayed as "0,00 mm", for example, then it works. But for the value of an offset , it doesn't. I don't many features, this is the only case I found... OS: Windows 7 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.16.6706 ...

Thanks, I'll just enter a value in the cell and then later multiply with 1mm. If I enter the value with a unit, it works well with sketch constraints. But the parameter can't be used in object properties, seemingly.

And I'm back to 0.16 now.

Thanks, I had assumed that horizontal distance and vertical distance constraints were meant for projected distances rather than actual distances.

Of course, other people might have different opinions. I'm doing both then to please everyone 8-) I'm soon finished with the design and I could start with the tech drawings. But I still have two issues posted here: Fully constrained, but still two alternatives? Spreadsheet and sketch parameters: in...

Please consider the following sketch: Screenshot from 2016-08-12 16-55-12.png If I change the100mm constraint to 10mm, it becomes this: Screenshot from 2016-08-12 16-57-09.png I would have expected the 40mm constraint to remain at 40mm, as you might guess. Even if the sketch is fully constrained, th...

Hi, the sketch you drew is ok: the two numbers are referring to the two objects being equals. So the problem must be somewhere else.

Hi,

I'm also a beginner but I think I can help with this: I can see that your sketches are not fully constrained. You need to open them again and add the dimensions of the parts there. For exemple: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... int_Length

Hi, I switched to FreeCAD 0.17 since it seemed easier to install than 0.16 on Linux: OS: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.17.8186 (Git) Build type: None Branch: master Hash: 137c951e7b397edf369300f6214b1a820f45742b Python version: 2.7.12 Qt version: ...

Now this is well past Sketchup level :lol: I really like how the part is created out of one essential sketch, but I don't understand its design! It's ok: I managed to draw the blade in a totally parametric fashion with 3 simple sketches now (except for the 3mm thickness). Next I need to design the s...
