It's the same as Willem's solution made with Part workbench.

It is not the same, Chris.

A sketch and a groove works fine here Hi Willem, How do you place your circle sketch at the correct angle? Screenshot from 2021-08-02 00-15-30.png Those figures for x, y, z and angle seem quite hard to conceive. Apart from that riddle, I am afraid that your solution is wrong, because the square ske...

Whether or not with an FC18 compatible BIM. I tried to follow-up the advices in previous threads about this issue. To no avail....

Yes OpenBrain, That's my guess too. Now, since I need to complete my current project in FC18, would anybody know how to obtain a a BIM WB for FC18? On the other hand, should in not be possible to use Draft WB and the dimensioning command (and obtain readable text) regardless of whether BIM WB has be...

I place my post into this specific Help subforum because although seemingly solved there, I still have the very same discussed troubles. I am new to Arch, Draft and BIM. The problem: There is no result fro...

Dear Forum, Being new to Arch, Draft and BIM, I am still having troubles that I seem not to be able to solve. The problem: There is no result from Edit > Preferences > Draft > Text and Dimensions. I adapted Font Size to no avail. Just no consequences at all. There *is* a response to Arrow Size thoug...
