Re: Datum entity vs Body

Yesterday I got a sinking feeling in my gut after I reread this topic a few times. Could it be that there are coorporate moles in our community? Constantly nudging and poking the development in a direction away from the big fives market? I mean continuing on this road will utterly stop in a dead en...

Re: Start page opens when closing sketch

I think I used the wrong terminology in all my previous posts. When I said 'splash screen' I was referring to the Start Page:

Re: Start page opens when closing sketch

I see you edited your post while I was answering. Did I understand right, that the problem disappears even when you uncheck the splash screen? The problem appears in BOTH these two cases: Screen Shot 2018-07-04 at 1.27.20 PM.jpeg Screen Shot 2018-07-04 at 1.35.23 PM.jpeg The problem seems to be in ...

Re: Start page opens when closing sketch

Which workbench was selected when you started editing the sketch? I believe it was the Sketcher WB, but because of your question, I went back to try to re-create the original problem and I CANNOT. I went back to the FCAD preferences to enable the splash screen at startup but the problem has gone aw...

Re: Start page opens when closing sketch

I have this same issue crop up ONLY when I went from OSX El Capitan to Sierra. The start page wants to open when a sketch is closed. If there is a start page already open, then it does not do anything. I re-installed Freecad but it did not solve the problem. additional edit to my post: -> The proble...

{solved} What is this 3D cube viewer thing on the top right?

Hi Everyone,

I'm using V.17 but from time to time I see this viewer cube (not sure what to call it) on the top right of the drawing window in other people's screenshots.

See my screenshot below.

Anyway, how do I activate it/install it on my FCad application? Thanks.

Re: Manipulator WorkBench

Ah.... I was too smart for my own good. Thank you! :D the Manipulator WB is great....but has anyone noticed strange 'undo' behavior? After an alignment operation, when i CNTRL-Z to undo, it moves the wrong part back. For example, I align B to A. Then do 'undo.' It seems A goes to B's location??? Man...

Re: polar pattern needs a different axis

Thank you for the detailed directions NormandC. This was the key, "Right-click on Pad and select "Set tip". Any new object will now be created immediately below it, rather than at the bottom of the Body tree."

Now I can sleep on this Friday night.... :D
