Ich habe die Feder auch hinbekommen, vielen Dank fuer die Hilfe hier, ich bin mir aber nicht ganz sicher ob ich jetzt lachen soll oder eher nicht :roll: Ich freue mich darüber mit Freecad ein kostenloses vollparametrisches 3D-CAD mit so vielen Workbenches und Scripten nutzen zu dürfen. Dann noch fü...

Was ich nur nicht ganz verstehe: wieso funktioniert es wenn ich explizit den Punkt als externe Geometrie hole, aber nicht wenn ich die Spline der Helix anklicke? Ist der Endpunkt dann etwas anderes? Da FC Gui mit OpenGL arbeitet und dort sich alles um Vertices dreht kann man davon stark ausgehen, d...

Nimm einen Shapebinder. Das sollte man sowieso machen, um ein externes Element im Body zu referenzieren. Hast Du einen aktuellen Thread-Link ueber Shapebinder, Version 17? Also wann was wo und wie man Shapebinder nutzen sollte. Ich habe unlaengst gesucht und viel und wieder gar nichts gefunden. Danke

[ranting on] I'm sad to say that I had quite some time ago the idea of something like "Médecins Sans Frontières" (I don't know if there is an english term, in german it is "Ärzte ohne Grenzen") for computer scientists. While I found a l...

A quick google search - with all it's drawbacks - shows 150000 hits for the search term ' FreeCAD forum "thank you" ' I couldn't agree more with you. But let's forget about this issue for a moment. The fact is, if some key members like you of this forum wouldn't be so active, friendly and helpful, ...

However I have not found anything like the tools present in the sketcher yet, allowing for different constraints in placement of components, so I have to use features created in the sketch (for instance a front panel) to guide me in manual placement of components. I wonder if the way I am doing thi...
