WB-BIM(Arch): Array / Copy along edge: unexpected position change.

Tried to make a fence by using an array and [copy-along-path:] Array acts as expected. But the [copy-along-path] tool - adds additional elevation at Z-axis: See pictures. Pictures are done in "normal" conditions: initial situation and a view immediately after click. Before_Array.png BIM_1b...

Re: RAM usage model? ( better or not with ram-disk)

In my vision ( seems now to be wrong) - in windows there are several disk usage cases: 1. RAM caching - being solved at system level 2. dll loading to RAM 3. temporary files 4. present files packing-to/extracting-from archive - may sometimes be done in parallel with the proceeding work in the GUI.

RAM usage model? ( better or not with ram-disk)

Does FC use/have an option to load completely to the RAM, or it works from disk? Nowadays, when the amount of RAM is usually above 4Gb - would be more efficient, If FC would load the it's "kernel" and currently used workbenches to the RAM. Another option would be to run it from "RAM-d...

Re: ?? Extend [Create new sketch] with the code from Sketcher

Well, the question about single click attaching is about clicks - amount of hand-made changes - actually the speed of work. for attaching sketches from one body to a face in another - there is a choice of {independent copy, dependent copy, cross-reference}.

Re: List of bugs and features

Does it make sense or any value to prepare the general algorithm and m.b. modules decomposition for TechDraw? Would be made in a form of mindmap+flowchart. Are the incompletnesses of TechDraw classified in -- completely impossible -- seemingly not possible to implement -- no ready base for implement...

WB-TechDraw: what is the correct workflow?

While working with TechDraw experienced problems: 1. Very long scaling time for multi detail projections - up to a minute or more. 2. Sometimes clicking to insert a projection returns an empty projection. What does it depend on? What is better: -- to store all projections in the same file with whole...

Re: Portability?: Portable FreeCAD Help with DirsPath coding

EDIT: And if this isn't solved, please remove this from the OP Did I understand you right - to change the heading of the topic? Or you meant the files pack with incomplete AddonManager change? How deep are changes to the code in your portable version? Will try this pack as soon as start windows aga...

Browsing FreeCAD found that between Sketcher and PartDesing there is a difference in [Create new sketch] button functioning. If an edge / line / wire is selected before: Sketcher >[Create new sketch] => Sketch Attachment: (Don't attach, Deactivated, Normal, InertiaCS) PartDesign > [Create new sketch...
