Re: Can OCC handle variable section sweep?

Definitely! :)

This function seems a lot more powerful than the makeLoft function, which fails often when the profiles are too different from each other.

OK, done, but the packages were already built for today, so the switch will be made tomorrow.

Re: Fonction Cavité

Salut, Si tu sais programmer en C++, tu peux contribuer au code, ou sinon si tu comprends l'anglais, tu pourrais aider à traduire la documentation. https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Online_Help_Toc/fr Si c'est le cas, il faudra que tu demandes l'accès en écriture au wiki.

Re: Updating FreeCAD PPA to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Bottom line: people who first installed v0.12.5284 from the ubuntu repo, then updated FreeCAD by adding the PPA already have OCC along with OCE on their system, and it may cause problems. Great :? I guess it's still better to switch to OCE since future users won't have the two libraries on their sys...

Re: [py] How to creat a milling contour (cyl. move along line)

Hi, I don't think you can create a solid by sweeping another solid (like a drill bit). But you can create a solid by sweeping a 2D profile along a trajectory. There is no GUI tool for it yet, but it's possible with a macro. See https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Macro_So...

Re: Fonction Cavité

Salut, Comme l'indique le message d'erreur, pour que la cavité puisse être générée, il faut que l'esquisse ait été créee sur la face du solide. Donc, avant de créer l'esquisse, il fallait sélectionner la face du solide sur laquelle appliquer l'esquisse. Il y a toutefois moyen de corriger ça: sélecti...

Re: Updating FreeCAD PPA to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Hi Jim, I agree for points 1 to 3 (wouldn't know how to force removal of the OCC runtimes anyway). As for #4, you are correct and make an excellent point. The Ubuntu repos being what they are, the OCE version will probably not be updated for the duration of the LTS' support. Right now OCE in the rep...

Hi Carlton,

It is my understanding that they are hardcoded. I've got to run, when I have time I'll try to locate the topic where this was mentioned.
