Re: Adaptive toolpath part incursion bug in 0.20.2
So easy apply my fix and the issue is gone :-) I am not going to spend a single second anymore on that particular code part since I'm working on other things. I'm using this patch since it was released and never looked back. Back then I had tons of issues with FreeCAD because I worked on a project w...

Re: Selecting partial holes for drilling operation
It's pretty easy to add arc support to the drill operation, I did that myself here. but my drilling operation is already quite different from the upstream freecad code. I suggest looking at the code it's not so difficult. For example: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob/master/src/Mod/Path/Path/...

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)
Aside of that it would be useful if there would be an option like align horizontally or align vertically. At the moment I'm just creating a plane in the drafts menu, set them to fixed and add some constraints to that one (that minimises rounding inaccuracies to a certain degree).

Re: Another approach to assembly solver (A2plus)
when checking for constraints sometimes things blow up and then popups seem to come up endlessly... Can you add something like this: diff --git a/a2p_searchConstraintConflicts.py b/a2p_searchConstraintConflicts.py index 544b389..628f0df 100644 --- a/a2p_searchConstraintConflicts.py +++ b/a2p_searchC...

Re: Part - create solid, alternative that doesn't increase the tolerance?
Hint: Not all close vertices should be tied together. :? I agree, I have seen all the issues that can happen with tolerance issues. Visually the object looks okay - so in that case all the vertices which look like as if they're joining should be able to join by copying either vertex coordinate A, B...

Re: Part - create solid, alternative that doesn't increase the tolerance?
Well this is something for opencascade, the best case would be to stay within a given tolerance and tie the vertexes together (copy the same values -- if wanted). I isolated the part where the tolerance went high again and re-designed that part in a new project, the redesigned Part does not show any...

Re: [SOLVED] Adaptive profiling: the path does not end correctly?
@MRx Question: is still profitable to make raw profiling with an adaptive path and a larger endmill? By doubling the mill diameter I should double speed... P.S. I still think that wearing only the tip of a tool is a waste of money (I'm using quite costly DLC bits...). For this reason now I try to u...

Re: [SOLVED] Adaptive profiling: the path does not end correctly?
You can go to your supplier and ask them to pre-cut the stock (that's how we do that and we do many of them). Using a small endmill does not only wear up the endmill but also risks to break them easier. Plus it's damn slow and you need to see that you can evacuate the chip properly. Outline profilin...

Re: Part - create solid, alternative that doesn't increase the tolerance?
The question is how to keep the tolerance low instead of increasing it ... increasing it too much is calling for problems sooner or later. There's the python method fixTolerance which someone can run, with checkgeometry violating edges / vertexes can be found. I fixed the particular object myself by...

Part - create solid, alternative that doesn't increase the tolerance?
Hi, I somewhat suspect that Part - create solid is increasing the tolerance of an object whenever it is needed in order to sew a shell together. Is there any better way to do that? Increasing the tolerance of various items (edges, vertices) is potentially harmful to an object - and I ran into that s...
