PartDesign::Pocket followed by ::Draft bug

Hi, I've stumbled into a bug. Luckily, I was able to isolate the problem by generating a simple example. That allowed me to fix my complicated model too. Symptom: Sometimes inverted arcs on drafted faces with rounded corners. Missing drafted faces like: Screen Shot 2021-01-05 at 16.13.50.png To repr...

Re: Tracing dependents of a spreadsheet cell

Would Std DependencyGraph fit your need? I was about to say "that doesn't show me the cells inside the spreadsheet," but that's not correct. I remembered; it /does/ show the cells (at least the aliases in my case.) However, without the ability to select a dependency arrow, I can't trace a...

Tracing dependents of a spreadsheet cell

Is there a way to find all the dependents of a specific cell in a spreadsheet? Here is an example use case: - Spreadsheet cell B1 (Alias InnerDiameter): 10mm - Spreadsheet cell B2 (Alias Thickness): 2mm - Spreadsheet cell B3 (Alias OuterDiameter): =InnerDiameter + Thickness - OneSketch -> Uses The I...

Re: Adding pads 'up to' complicated geometry

This was just a demo model I whipped up for the discussion. I couldn't share my actual design; plus it's more complicated than necessary for this discussion. I didn't think I made any undercuts on this model, but it's possible. (OK, the ends of the circular profile are in the pull direction.) BTW, t...

Re: Adding pads 'up to' complicated geometry

To get back to your original query. Pad 'up to face' does work in V0.19 I found that out since the original post. I was absolutely giddy with excitement when it worked! I had rolled my eyes and clicked it "just for giggles." I think I was literally giggling when it worked on a simpler pad...

Re: Adding pads 'up to' complicated geometry

I think I oversimplified the situation trying to explain it with minimal modeling. Here is a more realistic example I modeled up. The use case is adding ribs and bosses on a part intended for plastic injection molding . I've been using the workaround of using booleans. I've tried to clean up my work...

That's awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I look forward to when it comes up in 0.19_pre!

Adding pads 'up to' complicated geometry

I've been working on a piece that has features that need to end on a complicated face. Here is a simplified example: Screen Shot 2020-12-06 at 12.48.38.png The issue is the rib at the middle of the part. It needs to extend to the overall part, but not protrude beyond it. Ideally, I'd love to use Par...

PartDesign Draft as a Pocket or Pad property

I'm just getting started on 0.19 (coming from 0.18). I found that there is a new pad feature "use custom direction" of extrusion: Screen Shot 2020-12-06 at 12.32.42.png I would also like to see this feature on pockets. I also think a draft property would also be very helpful. Currently mai...

Re: FreeCAD 0.19_pre Crashes (SIGSEGV) on MacOS; Triggered by kicadStepUp

Update: It happens on the demo.kicad-pcb too.
I've put more info on the kicadStepUp bug.
However, I think this bug really belongs with FreeCAD.
