Re: Is FreeCAD the right CAD software for what I wanna do ?

Thank you for your answers, microelly2s nurbs editor could perhaps match my needs. I've installed it using the addons installer but at this time I can't launch any furnished example. Do I need to install other optional packages to try them ? I've simply tried to copy the python examples in the pyth...

Re: Perspective Viewport Properties

Note: * camera.heightAngle attribute is not listed in autocompleter, you have to type it in manually. This isn't the only place where it happens btw, but attributes of coin nodes are especially well hidden. They don't appear in dir(camera) and camera.__dict__. * angle is in radians. THX. All I need...

Re: Embedding or Embossing a logo onto a surface

I'll give 0.17 a shot, but for reference here's a link to my dropbox location with the example file. This isn't the final but close.

Re: TabBar

Hi triplus, Thanks for this fresh, interesting and new interface. I tested it and have some suggestion: * An option to turn all toolbars (outside tabbar) for all workbenches at the same off. I had to go through all wbs and turn toolbars (in selector menu... not sure ... Toolbars ->Off) * in Draft wb...

Re: Perspective Viewport Properties

Re: Draft AutoGroup

I expected when I select 'None' that new elements are created in the root of my document. But they are not!? Are you sure? I just tested again here, when selecting "None", the toolbar button turns red again and new objects get created in the doc root as normally... Hi Yorik, Please see th...

Hi, If you are more interested in testing Freecad then you maybe give the development version a try. The ...
