I want to do something shortly after going into sketcher and need to wait until all the graphic processing is finished, it can be quite long with large models. Is there a signal or something I can test to tell me when the program is finished with it's chores.
Thanks

Close sketcher and highlight the sketch in the tree. Notice in preference there is a map reversed, change that to the opposite. Then reopen your sketch.

Thanks openBrain. I saw a post where someone imported an image, I guess I should have asked them how they accomplished that feat.

@Jonathan, are you sure it's cool to post that drawing? A drawing like that should be drawn on a 2D type package. Once your ready to design the parts then you come to FreeCAD where you can make a 3D model with dimensions.

There was a topic that sized the pick window for snapping to contraints. If the size box is made large then making constraints is just like snapping. Maybe someone knows that posting?

In sketcher there is a trim tool. This is easy.

I don't see any version info. Did the OP see the red/pink bar at the top of the screen?

I think it's time for a planetary gear in the intake fan. Really 85,000 RPM!, that's impressive.

Sometimes macros get put behind the main screen, you can use View-panels to check if it's back there. You might also need to restart FC. Another option in the same link, openbrain made a newer version that might stay visible (on top) better. I have an updated version but I haven't had time to test. ...
