Re: Planning to do some work on Sketch solver

One approach could be using a symbolic library like http://viennamath.sourceforge.net/viennamath-about.html or parser (muParser) to build up the equations - so it's just a string that is stored. References to spreadsheet or other could inspected prior to parsing the expression using a symbol e.g. $#...

Re: Render qwidgets on 3d scene

Sounds great - I'm glad to hear to that quarter seemed useful as the basis point. Having a QGraphicsView front end will definitely open new possibilities.

Re: Any nearer to FreeCAD 0.14 going GA.

Luke, the Daily Builds PPA is fully automatic, but the Stable PPA isn't - and that was my choice. It took a few days because I wanted to clean up the build dependencies - IMO it was long overdue. And please note that I released the bug fix release on the same day the tarball was published so I'm a ...

Re: Any nearer to FreeCAD 0.14 going GA.

I admit I've not kept up to speed with this release. Thankfully it's out of the door and when I find the time I'll start working again finishing things off. To be honest I didn't realise the release was officialy out. There wasn't really a big mention on the website and Iwould have expected a brief ...

Re: Reworked Sketcher constraint icons

Hi Ian, The results look pretty good and has been needed for a long time. Code wise looks good and thank you for tidying up some bits and adding new functions to make it clearer in ViewProviderSketch I like the use of a queue structure for the constraint icons and will be useful that you can now dra...

Re: Feature for Sketcher

Dear FreeCAD community, I have been testing FreeCAD features for a while and found it to be quite an impressive tool. It still misses many features I would like to use, so I would like to offer my contribution in adding some of them. I have some programming experience in C++ but I haven't worked on...

Re: Element widget for Sketcher WB

Chosing to rise the lines in updateColor function is just for the reason that updateColor is called in several different functions and color and rising are interrelated. There is a repetition of code in the cases where updateColor is called from draw (reiterating an already interating loop for assi...

Re: Element widget for Sketcher WB

Hi abdullah, I'm yet to try it, but firstly a good effort taking up a long needed task on the Sketcher which has been fairly dormant for a year now. It's a great way to learn/practice c++ coding and is how I first began with alot of advice and critique from logari. SoLineSet, totally covers the prev...

This frame has been choosen due to easy scripting in Py...
