Another thought comes to mind; Forum members here have read some of my posts, they might have noticed that I'm really annoyed (or annoying) when it comes to talking about internet connections and security. Part of the reason I'm so crazed is because this internet connection we use here while working...

I haven't been keeping up with ports on new laptops so I would be looking at external ports to add an additional monitor or two. I know NVIDIA is good at doing it but is the laptop designed for it. My home workstation has a NVIDIA card with 2 DVI ports to run dual monitors, those connectors are huge...

You can also do a subtractive groove on an axis.

Okay - I thought "fully constrained" was just a good idea, but apparently it's "the law" ;) My opinion, No! it's not the law. If you do a complicated b-spline then you will never constrain it. I almost never fully constrain my sketches without issue. If possible it's good to do when you can, especi...

I feel good every time I open FreeCAD because the major CAD companies have been abusing their position for years. This goes along the path of another link with "Blender founder (Ton Roosendaal) Keynote speech from BlenderCon '19". I say this is a warning to the big companies. It will take us some ti...

How about doing it a different way. Full control of all the radius'.

To get placement info correct I map the datum plane to the face when created then deactivate the datum plane, if I need to change the placement of the original face then a reattach the datum plane to the face, mod the face feature then deactivate the plane once again. It works great, it is parametri...

Make a datum plane off axis 7 degrees, sketch on that plane. If you want the object flush with a standard plane then pocket cut the object at the standard plane edge.

My feeling is to place datum planes for every new face you want to work on. Here are some reasons why: 1) If planes get reassigned (by a topo error) you can highlight the plane in the tree and see stuff is in the wrong place, sketches don't give you that visual they have been moved. 2) Datum planes ...

I use 3 or 4 macros most all the time and I presume that most of the long-term users do the same. Maybe we could start a listing of what folks use and then determine what they like most. Many maros or code could be being used only by the creater so they could describe what they are doing and why the...
