Ok, changing to Imperial helped a bunch, thanks!

Now how do I adjust the scale of my view? It's a bit big and covers part of the title block, but changing the "Scale" in the data tab from the current 0.4 has no visible effect while changing the rotation does.

Right now I have it on "US Customary" but the problem is I want all the dimension in inches, but I'm getting feet, and on longer dimensions yards. I want inches both because that's what the countertop installer will want and so I can calculate the square footage because apparently FreeCAD ...

Well, I'm working on building current master to see if it fixes my problems but as usual, it's never clean on the first try

Trying to build FreeCAD 0.19 from current master to take advantage of some of the updates around drafting and dimensioning.

While I use Siemens NX for work, I've been a Fedora packager and FOSS enthusiast for 12 years. I also happen to the the Fedora FreeCAD package maintainer. I've played around in modeling over the years I've maintained the package but recently had a need to just do "simple" drafting. I measu...

Only with major versions, you have one python2 and one python3. Although since python2 is EOL most of it has been removed. You can still get a python2.7 if you really need it, but no guarantee on any modules/libraries being avilable.

If one were to drop python libraries directly into /usr/lib{,64} then I think having the python suffix would be a very good idea, but most packages (at least on Fedora) put libraries in a versioned subdirectory, i.e.: /usr/lib{,64}/pythonX.Y/... In which case I don't think it matters, but looking in...

Please share your thoughts/opinions/concerns especially if you're involved in developing FreeCAD code, packaging or testing. It's for around a year now that we use CMake's GNUInstallDir module which defines the variables Yes, it uses them, but not necessarily correctly or consistently. Is it possib...

Would adding you to my fork which has the pull request be a good way of doing that? No point in re-inventing the wheel.

I still would like an answer to my questions I asked earlier... https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46934&sid=83665f9f06e5c764a67c1c80805cde83&start=10#p408172 But for now I'll go ahead and commit my changes to the fork. https://github.com/hobbes1069/FreeCAD/commit/4175e20f7...
