There are several alternative workflows - thats what I meant by random. you can start with a flat sheet, then add bends, and extends. you can start with a flat sheet, add sketch line, then bend on the sketch line. you can start with a sketch and create a sheet along the path. and you can start with ...

1. what do you mean by chronological order? with SheetMetal workflow, the command usage is random. 2. Let me know your suggestions, and I will change all commands appropriately. (this should not impact backward compatibility, right?) 3. out - of - context: Where in the forum settings can I set it su...

Thanks for the elaboration. I opened https://github.com/shaise/FreeCAD_SheetMetal/issues/116

Fixed.

Cutting a thread with bolt gives you a "negative" bolt thread which is mechanically incorrect. To make a "real" threaded hole, there is a special arbitrary length "tap" rod that you then cut from your object: innerth.png If it is made for 3D printing, there is a section in the settings that lets you...

In FreeCad 0.18/0.19 (uses OCC v7.3) some of the Fasteners exhibit this issue. If you try FreeCad V0.17 it will work. (This is what I do when I need to 3D print threads)

You first need to set the option for 3d printed mode. (in preferences after you select fastener workbench)
And then, yes, the rod with be wider by several percent, so there will be enough gap to avoid friction.
