Re: Sketcher: Ellipse support

Well, to be honest with you my trigonometry knowledge is very rusted, but I think that an Ellipse should have 5 degrees of freedom (I see this as x,y of both focuses+constraint on distance to both focuses from any point = major diameter, 2*2+1=5). Those 3 points can not be any 3 points, or you woul...

Re: Sketcher: Ellipse support

Hi abdullah, Great work so far. Do you have this in your git repo just to have a look at? Aren't ellipses usually defined by three points and then use distance constraints to determine major and minor axes and rotation? I guess there will be also an ellipse arc too for adding an angle constraint. I'...

Re: Visual Programming with Dynamo atop Freecad API?

I agree with looo but nonetheless coral looks interesting and might be a starting point to play with something. The experiment in python is pretty good already just from the screenshot and no framework would be needed if we are manipulating the document object tree and properties. I still hesitate w...

Re: Porting to VS 2012 and new LibPack 10.0 x64

this is really good news. Thanks juergen for this as it's been a stumbling block trying to get anything in the development branches tested on Windows. I should hopefully be able to start producing binaries for people to try testing the Drawing Module now when this is finally up and running. Cheers, ...

Re: Visual Programming with Dynamo atop Freecad API?

Thanks for your thoughts Yorik. I agree with what you say, since it does seem like the property system built into the document objects is built for this. I generally don't think it makes much sense for most cases modelling simple shapes that could be done just as easily using the traditional sketch ...

Re: DXF export of Drawing pages

yorik, did you manage to fix the arc orientation for good now?

I still don't think the solution I had for using b-splines for creating arcs is a good solution when exporting.

Re: Werner passes 7000 posts and other fascinating maths! :-

A remarkable achievement!

It still needs a pat on the back for your time, effort and commitment to FreeCAD

Re: Visual Programming with Dynamo atop Freecad API?

Yes, I have suggested to have a look at dynamo before, and there is also https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok :) Ps: luke, no pressure but how about that drawing update for christmas ;) Haha, it still exists. I've just been working on my own little experiment projects this summer and to have a bit ...

Re: Visual Programming with Dynamo atop Freecad API?

Actually, thanks for the link. I didn't realise an open source version of grass-hopper exists or atleast the front-end (not that I have ever used it). In our research group we deal alot with lattice type structures which breakdown in CAD and even the preprocessor because of their complexity. There a...
