Actually I wouldn't bother with making a request for this. With the current internal structure of FC that assumes only one object to be in Edit mode at the time, such a feature is not realistically feasible. Why would one need to edit two sketches simultaneously? Is this practice available in any ot...

There isn't but it is a good idea. In general I don't like auto-constraints very much and we have to tide up their current implementation in FreeCAD quite a bit.

Moving parts is a solution, but I think not the most productive one. I don't remember how this is done in ProE/Creo, I remember the method used in ANSYS, which gives you some handles to choose among all possible selection also among the hidden ones. It is an ok solution but not completely productive...

I'm still getting this ...or a similar.. build error on Kubuntu 12.04 building master now. I can see the above, Juergen committed 894529a2, (and then another b52de075). That's another error. The QByteArray object returned by toAscii() cannot be automatically assigned to a std::string. I don't why t...

No, its not good programmer practise to use const if you want to get information back! This parameter is destined to deliver information about the choosen unit BACK. That's why I said "if possible", obviously if you want to return a value it is not possible to use const. The code in its c...

please apply the attached patch. Obvious programming tip: it is a good programming practice to use "const" whenever possible. Second tip: QString::toAscii is going to be deprecated, so we should replace it with QString::toLatin1 which is equivalent. I tried to push the patch but it seems t...

have you noticed the spam that I have deleted? Normally phpbb forums are configured with quite strong captchas to avoid spam accounts.

Welcome back to civilization Luke! I have followed almost every day of your adventure. 1300 km on a rickshaw, a big achievement anyway. My 2 years old daughter is also very happy watching your videos and photos, both the bathtube and the rickshaw ones.

That's only a matter of using a good tolerance. In the first approach it was set to 0.1 which appeared to be too high. Now it's set to 0.001 and this works much better.OpenCascade's internal tolerance is 1.e-7 but this is too strict. So, the one I chose seems to be a good balance. actually the tole...

You should prefer the horizontal distance constraint. It is more efficient.
