Re: Easier Way to Get From FreeCAD to PCB to CNC?

I highly recommend to use KiCad and (for complex PCB shapes or if your project consists of a PCB and a enclosure or something like that) use StepUp together with FreeCAD. https://www.kicad.org/ https://www.kicad.org/external-tools/stepup/ I saw that. I used to use EagleCAD, but I see that now it's ...

Easier Way to Get From FreeCAD to PCB to CNC?

I'll admit I know just enough about FreeCAD to be dangerous. I spent several hours laying out this super simple PCB in FreeCAD using the Parts Design Workbench to get everything just right. And that doesn't count the time I'm going to have to spend converting it to CNC gcode using the Path workbench...

Edit|Duplicate Selected object on 25mm then edit the Pad005 length in the duplicate. I put the duplicated objects in a Part container so they can be moved collectively.

is it possible to duplicate a body in Part Design to...

What I need to do is create several identical objects that need to be multiple heights. In the file attached, I need to create duplicates of the body "25mm" that are identical except that the duplicates need to be padded 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 70mm, and 100mm where Pad001 is 25mm. Is this possi...

Re: Make Tools Stay Put?

You can make your own custom toolbars but I think you need to recreate them if you in install a new version. I remove the "File tools" and then make a custom toolbar with just the "recompute tool", this removes about 10 icons. That's reminds me that I wanted to start a topic to ...

Re: Make Tools Stay Put?

Sorry.. didn't think it'd be helpful to show the whole screen. Here you go. I don't really have a whole lot of screen space available for more lines. Is it possible to get rid of any of those individual sections? Like the macro set? I have no need for those. I really appreciate your help. Screenshot...

Re: Make Tools Stay Put?

I read your post, but I do not really understand what you are seeing. You show a very condensed version of the toolbar. What "dropdown arrow" are you talking about? Gene I'm sorry. I guess I mean this symbol - '>>' When you click that, there are other icons available, the one I'm most int...
