Tried to proceed with the 'recover'-file. - Placed the image back again, scaled and repositioned; - Created a pad of the sketch; - Saved and closed the file; - Reopened the file again, but it seems it is still corupted: I get the same results as before. I will make a fresh startfrom scratch and see ...

chrisb is a guru, so it seems :geek: Unfortunately I failed trying to reproduce your workaround, using winRAR. Still, I am curious how you managed this? I opened both Document.xml files, but then? The original contains quite a lot of "<properties>". Which one to choose? Just overwriting Document.xml...

Working for two years now with FC, but this is new to me. I guess I did 'something', but what? 1. I created a part, based on a scaled jpg file and saved it. 2. Restarted FC (version description below, yes it's older, but it normally works fine). 3. Opened the file, but it seems 'broken'? Combo view ...

Brilliant, Quaoar. Thanks!

Out of curiousity (maybe for others too): how did you do this? Small description maybe?

To get better information about your original question you should tell other helpers what kind of assembly you use.

Here it is

Your version is utterly outdated. You should consider upgrading to 0.18 or even 0.19.

I will in the vey near future. But... will this solve my specific problem?

The output STEP file is 33.6 MiB: http://quaoar.su/tmp/yosemite-sam.zip -Downloaded the STEP-file; - Saved it as a FreeCAD file; - Upscaled it to a ±3500mm wide giant; - Convert it to a solid (hollow, not filled), filesize 7MB - check link: https://we.tl/t-wbIW6yHNcz All fine, so it seams... Now I ...

Thanks gents, I appreciate your (computing) time and efforts very much. This could lead to something nice

Placing an image on a plane of a part is easy using the image WB. Rotating, placing, scaling; it all works fine. I am creating a 3D housing of an industrial PC and I like to project an image on the front and back of the housing. The images are in fact all possible connections (quite a lot), so I do ...

Out of curiosity, why don't you just scale then slice the STL directly with software like Blender ? Like I asked: 2. Maybe another workaround possible (maybe even without using the brilliant FreeCAD possibilities)? Already trying to do something using Meshlab (it seems I am getting somewhere) but B...
