i think i can help you with a small script. But you would have to run it for each assembly separately. I do not have the time for a more complete solution. Would this be ok ? That would be more than perfect, of course! Could also help other FreeCAD addicts with this problem. Still having the strang...

Correct kbwbe. I think in 90% of all cases I think that only the beginning of the path changes. The exact path is not known yet.

I expected there would be more people with this 'problem'...

Searched for a solution, but could not find any.

Unfortunately; it differs.

Some are with A2P, and most files are with A2...

For instance (from Z:\blabla\FreeCAD_files\ to another like for instance D:\raldiedal\etc\FreeCAD_files\). So I am expecting that parts cannot be found, drawings unreachable etc. How to handle this? Any workbench available, or will this be a week of hell to recreate new assemblies / changing locatio...

Looks awesome kbwbe!

you get that indeed if your laser and very very small
you put at maximun 1 OD int = 6.9mm and ext = 10.8mm bigger, the edges overlap and it makes bizare thing

Yeah. Try to make these in reality...

@meme2704: The sheet flat and rolled was more to describe, not the way I actually want to do this. Anyway: I think I found the final solution! By using: - FCv0.16 (no, not FCv0.17) - Designing the right sketch :D - "Wrapping a sketch around a cylinder"-macro - Cutout of the part created needs to be ...

I searched the forum using chrisb's tip:

Search the forum on how to map a sketch to a cylinder

And then I found this: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 0&start=20

Could be interesting!

If I was able to write code, this is the opportunity to create a tube-laser WB

Perhaps you can find a solution based on the following thoughts: - Search the forum on how to map a sketch to a cylinder - Map the sketch to the inside of your tube - map it enlarged on the outside - make a subtractive loft. Something like this. I did not map the faces, it's only to show the loft: ...

I also discovered that Partdesign Next (FC V0.17) is quite an improval to Part Design. Cutting cone shapes out of a hollow tube works without errors in the outcome. I definately have to get familiar with this. However, I find it difficult to make the switch to PDNext using older drawings... Still, P...
