Re: Simulated Weld

I think a macro that would sweep a triangle along a selected edge would be simpler and keep a lower filesize. The trick would be for the triangle sides to always be collinear to the faces attached to the edge. And of course it would not be as pretty as those spheres! How would that work for "e...

ShortcutMapper for FreeCAD

Hi,

A quick one to share a discovery I just made learning Blender (to render my FreeCAD designs):

https://waldobronchart.github.io/Shortc ... r/#Blender

Would be great to have our beloved supported :)

Have all a nice sunday

Re: atelier assemblage pour FreeCad

C'est un peu méchant de dire ça, mais je souhaiterais parfois que plus de développeurs soient aussi assidus que moi dans leurs contributions au projet. Mais bon, écrire du code informatique ne se compare pas à donner de l'aide sur un forum. :| C'est sur, c'est un travail énorme d'écrire un programm...

Re: Assembly recursive update

So, since there was no response at all I had to dig in myself. I definitly need to figure out ab better IDE setup and maybe actually read functions exposed by FreeCADs API. Anyhow, a little Macro: ... Hey but you did it ! Hadn't seen this message when posted my previous one... This is a great time ...

Re: Assembly recursive update, Assembly 2

Hi, [...] I very much liked the idea of putting a spreadsheet in the assembly file and reference the dimensions from there. And although autocomplete doesn't seem to work between files, if entered correctly the relation works as expected. Now if I change a value in the spreadsheet, I need to save th...

Re: Hello all. Developer here and would like to contribute. Starting with Assembly2

Yeah indeed. Some argue how something is a dead end and something else isn't. I know an average FreeCAD end user doesn't feel like that. And rather has 3 Assembly options to use. Selecting the one that fits their needs best. Compared to for example waiting for half a decade or more with nothing. Th...

Re: Whiteboard for v0.18

You can already do that. Right click on the desired solid item in treeview and select "Set colours", you will then be able to colour the solid's faces differently to each other. Made my day ! :-) Thank you Now what would be great would be to have this "color per face" be a Draw ...

Re: Whiteboard for v0.18

Hi, AFAIC, most valuable developments should implement, improve and/or extend: - Assembly WB: FC shouldn't stay in this situation any longer and forces/brains should be joined to give life to the WB of the future ! - Spreadsheet: built-in features should be polished and LibreOffice bridge/connector ...

Re: Hello all. Developer here and would like to contribute. Starting with Assembly2

Hi, User POV here. While ASM3 doesn't reach feature parity with ASM2 and while it's not enough stabilized to produce durable design files, the good "old" Assembly 2 workbench deserves some love and all improvements and fixes will be more than welcome ! I for one have a couple feature reque...

Re: #ERR getting Material properties dictionary values in spreadsheet cells
