Ok, I finally got it. I needed to have the preference "Use legacy python importer" ON to have the import to work.

Thanks Willem! But how did you imported the sketch in FreeCAD and get this 3D object. Everything I tried to import the sketch in FreeCAD doesn't work. If I try to import in Part WB or Draft WB, I can see nothing to extrude or to work from. http://www.stoudesign.com/temp/CaptureImport1.JPG http://www...

I search a lot on how to import a 2D dxf file in FreeCAD but nothing seem to work. I looked on the Wiki and installed the macro files and set some parameters like it is indicated . Than I went in FreeCAD, Draft WB, new file, import. I don't have any error but I don't see my sketch. I looked at many ...

I finally completed my part design. I used ASSEMBLY2 to put the pieces together. The only thing I didn't figured yet, is how to put a mesh texture on the middle part. I saw something about a macro to do that but I didn't found the macro yet. http://www.stoudesign.com/temp/FiltreAssemblageCapture.JPG...

Chris, I got it. The problem was that I needed to create a new sketch on the other side of my part (180°) http://www.stoudesign.com/temp/CoverBack.JPG Salut Normand! I know what you mean with the Montreal traffic, I worked as a IT computer programming and analyst in down town Montreal for 32 years! ...

Yes Chris, this is exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm almost there. I'll work on that later and if I got stuck for too long, I'll let you know.

Thank's!

Chrisb, I have a project to build a custom air filter box for a 4 cylinders motorcycle. I have a metal lathe and a milling machine, so I make some motorcycle parts for my projects. The part I want to do is a multiples pieces part. http://www.stoudesign.com/temp/CognitoMoto.jpg So I need to do 4 inta...

You are right openBrain. The problem is more to learn all the differents workbenchs and functions of FreeCAD. It's completely different than the one I use for my 2D work. After a few try and error, I finally got it. The slot is really simple and a lot more easier than lines and arcs. I had a few pro...

Thanks Chrisb and OpenBrain, I'll check that tonight and let you know if I understand correctly your advices. There's so much possibilities in FreeCAD, I pass many hours to look at the documentation, the tutorials and try many things. I have a lot of experience in 2D design but 3D is really new for ...

Hi, I'm new to freecad. I did many tutorials and start to be able to do many things. But sometime get stuck on some things I need to do. Right now I'm working on a multiple parts motorcycle air filter case. I'm working on the second part and I'm stuck since this morning on a simple sketch that I can...
