Re: Animation Add-On

Any ideas? classical FreeCAD topological naming problem. The good way to do that is to create an LCS that will be rotating w.r.t. the fixed engine (attach the LCS to the fixed one, and in the AttachmentOffset set the angle to the variable that drives the angle). Then, attach the crankshaft to the r...

Re: Draft_Array: Selecting Datum as Axis

This looks very promising, I very much would like to test it, but I cannot do it through git commits (breaks my repo, my fault, but I can't spend hours trying to fix it). Since it's Python files anyway, is there a way to grab the modified files and replace them on my system ? You can just go into h...

Re: [Discussion] Splitting Draft tools into their own modules

I'll bow to the majority if you guys find this absolutely necessary, but I'm more of the same opinion as triplus: neither too much nor too little that makes it 3 who don't agree (with the new splitting) and 2 who like it. Indeed! Anyway I think that a bit of cross workbench standardization, being w...

Re: FC 0.19 crashes after Assembly4's "Import Datum" command

Hi Zolko, I wrote the version of Assembly4 installed on my system in the first post, then in the last post I forgot to write it again: Assembly4 version: 0.9.4 2020-05-25 I think it's the last one available. ah, yes, sorry, didn't see it. I can't reproduce the crashes you see. Do you have another s...

Re: [Discussion] Splitting Draft tools into their own modules

And from a human point of view, it also doesn't seem interesting to do so, and seems even a hassle, need to open 4 files to fix a small thing that could be done in one I agree, and we can see it with the Array function: if everything Array related is in 1 file, it's much easier to test and debug. T...

Re: Draft_Array: Selecting Datum as Axis

I tried to put it into my GUI overhaul branch and it seems to work ( commit , not in a finished state, but should be running okay). This looks very promising, I very much would like to test it, but I cannot do it through git commits (breaks my repo, my fault, but I can't spend hours trying to fix i...

Re: FreeCAD uber beginners treatise

I just made some updates. Some people say one shouldn't draw dimensions on hidden lines, and instead show those dimensions on a cross-section (Figur 1, p5). While I know that this is not the subject of your document, it doesn't hurt to respect conventions. And it would showcase FreeCAD's capabiliti...

Nice, yes, this is very useful, thabk-you. If you renamed the TableSubassy.md to README.md would allow...
