Re: DXF Import C++ version fail to load

https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/DXF There are a couple of python only export methods in the Import module. Don't think they are documented anywhere. add_varargs_method("writeDXFShape",&Module::writeDXFShape, "writeDXFShape([shape],filename [version,usePolyline,optionSource]): Exp...

Re: 0.18 failure of a cut boolean operation

Now the question is: is this bug caused by the newer OCC version, or by the single-solid commit added after v0.17.13522? I commented out the check for multiple solid result in FeatureTransformed.cpp, rebuilt FC* and repeated the experiment. Same results. Lots of Transformed shape does not intersect...

Re: Bounty? TechDraw dimension support for Arch Section Plane

But it too is according to my general estimate far from being ready anytime soon. Far from ready for what, please? It appears that people are using it.

Re: TechDraw pages and recompute time

There is a function Keep updated, but disabling that does not allow to skip recomputing after the project opening. If KeepUpdated is false, the drawings are not executed when the 3D model changes. If you want all recomputes (including 3D model) suspended, right click on the root object in your proj...

Help with viewing (and creating) videos

I'm having trouble with videos on the forum, both posted by others and the ones I try to post. Videos hosted on youtube work reliably. Videos hosted elsewhere (github, dropbox, etc) often fail to play with one of two messages: "No Video with supported format and MIME type found" "Sorr...

Re: Documentation on how to users can test development branches

Can any of the devs kindly write out their workflow? If perhaps you use a certain script that would be helpful, please also share. Somewhere in Developers Corner(??) there is a lengthy discussion of using git from initial cloning to pulls/pushes and PRs. Unfortunately my DuckDuck-fu has deserted me...

Re: Techdraw, German settings

Just for the record: I checked in the "Technisches Taschenbuch" by Schaeffler and according to the norm it should look like this (+ the line groups):diniso128.png What do the red numbers mean? The 4.2 looks like it might be specs for the dash pattern. No idea about the 1.2. I'll look into...

regis wrote: Sat Dec 08, 2018 11:56 pm Oh good idea but how exactly do you mean? do you a screenshot? of the editing parameters like section and projectionGroup..
Just an idea at this point, nothing to show. It would provide a convenient way of setting Direction, Scale, Rotation, etc.
