Linux Mint 17.3 and BTW I new into Linux world so this is additional difficulty

I wanted to make some tests of TechDraw FreeCAD, so I decided to compile it. Worst decision ever ;). Can you help me go through compilation process? First I opened Wiki: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=CompileOnUnix Than downloaded all stuff like: "build-essential, cmake, python....

@NormandC I would say more, if annyone could prepare that for normal users with a comment that can be not stable, that would be great. Mostly normal users use this great program, and those features would be really step forward. Is this possible? Or even instruction how to do it.

I am digging up this topic. Will be something new in case of cross section and 2d drawings functionality?

I would also invite to help in this topic https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_d ... /issues/85 maybe someone could add some functionality to Hamish drawing dimensioning?

That is a good question. I know the newest Assembly2 have an option of axial mates.

Hi, I'll put two cents into discution. 1) Very usefull thing, which is in solidworks and what we could get into Freecad, is customizable fast menu, where you have all tools you need under one button. It works in SW that way: you press "s" button and small menu with icons (set by you) appea...
