Re: Named geometrical elements.

Or a different example, with again just a simple rectangle, we delete the right line (EG Edge2) and draw a new one on the same place (it will change to Edge4 in the sketch), current "dumb" implementation will not fail (because we still have the same number of edges and the new edge will a...

Re: Named geometrical elements.

It is a misconception that there is any TNP inherent to the Sketch class. It is a misconception that things get automatically scrambled somehow. Just look at how constraints are specified . If the geometric objects were scrambled anyhow, the constraints would fly around like crazy! :-) There is a d...

Re: Named geometrical elements.

If, in a sketch there is an edge named A. And in some other sketch or solid there is something that refers to A. Now you change the sketch and A is split into 3 different edges because of the change. What is A now? How does the referring item know what is now called A. And, how does the referring i...

Re: Named geometrical elements.

I am not trying to solve TNP. I will not say you have not understood the issue with FNP (FreeCAD Naming Problem), though... I'm not sure how naming an edge in a sketch would help, if the name later refers to a "different" edge (that is, an edge in another part of the sketch). To me, it'd ...

Re: FreeCAD Day 2023 - Report and Continued Discussion

I have not investigated RT solution, but it is based on names, and probably is storing some relevant informations, to permit to have a consistent name, I don't know how it take trace of modifications to say that edge1.solid1.cut1 or whatever is the naming scheme is the acutal Edge3 as example in th...

Re: request for input: default for NaviCube font

Right now, I have a blank cube, so any solution would be an improvement. Have you checked that the new font preferences for the NaviCube are reasonable/exist. In my machine the navicube works otherwise nicely when setting the prefs correctly, but when the rendered text is slanted the text becomes u...

Re: compile FreeCAD with nglib on debian jessie

Sorry for necro-bumping this old thread, but I happened to stumble on with a very similar problem with current Debian Unstable (Bookworm / Sid), where NetGen has been updated to version 6.2.0, and there have been some related updates, obviously. I've been using the Debian provided NetGen for some ti...

Re: request for input: default for NaviCube font

Sorry for the noise, but someone has told that to install a font on windows you need administrative privileges. This is true, but as pointed out in this thread at least four times already: There is NO need to install a font in order to use it. This is the mechanism that TechDraw already uses, and t...

Re: request for input: default for NaviCube font

Probably an installed font should work. there is no a way to set an hardcoded path with a opensource font put in FreeCAD program path? There is, and this techinque is already used in the TechDraw module with osifont. It's discussed right in the first page of this same thread, and user Roy_043 even ...

Re: request for input: default for NaviCube font

Good idea. We do this already for TechDraw. There we install the font "osifont": https://github.com/hikikomori82/osifont/ This is not suitable for the navigation cube since its letters are wide. The problem with distributing our own font is that one needs admin permissions to install them...
