Re: [gelöst] Skizze auf Ende von Helix setzen

Ich habe die Feder auch hinbekommen, vielen Dank fuer die Hilfe hier, ich bin mir aber nicht ganz sicher ob ich jetzt lachen soll oder eher nicht :roll: Ich freue mich darüber mit Freecad ein kostenloses vollparametrisches 3D-CAD mit so vielen Workbenches und Scripten nutzen zu dürfen. Dann noch fü...

Re: [gelöst] Skizze auf Ende von Helix setzen

Was ich nur nicht ganz verstehe: wieso funktioniert es wenn ich explizit den Punkt als externe Geometrie hole, aber nicht wenn ich die Spline der Helix anklicke? Ist der Endpunkt dann etwas anderes? Da FC Gui mit OpenGL arbeitet und dort sich alles um Vertices dreht kann man davon stark ausgehen, d...

Re: Skizze auf Ende von Helix setzen

Nimm einen Shapebinder. Das sollte man sowieso machen, um ein externes Element im Body zu referenzieren. Hast Du einen aktuellen Thread-Link ueber Shapebinder, Version 17? Also wann was wo und wie man Shapebinder nutzen sollte. Ich habe unlaengst gesucht und viel und wieder gar nichts gefunden. Danke

Re: Help on using FreeCAD - Really?

But my point is, that I don't think it' s a good idea to depend on Internet access for such a project. Though I assume that today even in most rural areas some kind of Internet access available, but possibly only slow connections and doubtful if a classroom has wifi, finally it's a cost factor as w...

Re: Help on using FreeCAD - Really?

Would it not be possible to create a Workbench for videos? Split the screen and on one side runs the video and on the other side is the real FC GUI Honestly, this can be done easily enough with FreeCAD and a web browser window side by side. But were you aware that you can open web pages in FreeCAD ...

Re: Help on using FreeCAD - Really?

Free software actually is a commitment to support these ideas. [ranting on] I'm sad to say that I had quite some time ago the idea of something like "Médecins Sans Frontières" (I don't know if there is an english term, in german it is "Ärzte ohne Grenzen") for computer scientist...

Re: Help on using FreeCAD - Really?

A quick google search - with all it's drawbacks - shows 150000 hits for the search term ' FreeCAD forum "thank you" ' I couldn't agree more with you. But let's forget about this issue for a moment. The fact is, if some key members like you of this forum wouldn't be so active, friendly and...

Re: Help on using FreeCAD - Really?

However I have not found anything like the tools present in the sketcher yet, allowing for different constraints in placement of components, so I have to use features created in the sketch (for instance a front panel) to guide me in manual placement of components. I wonder if the way I am doing thi...
