Re: Assembly3 preview

A lot of hours Im searching. :roll: Could you help me to make the final constraint? Rod must be straight housed in the hole. Have a look inside the pin rod assembly, i succeed to use a shape2D while i haven't the sketch. ;) You are making things too complicated. I've deleted everything leaving only...

Re: Assembly3 preview

To get removed as "auto relax" results in this (fourth PlaneAlignement constraint added): Could you please attach the file that shows this problem? SolverSpace redundant constraint tolerance is still on. My logic only handles some specific combinations of my added composites. You once sai...

Re: v0.18 or later - Designing in Context

We have this Group object in FreeCAD already for some time, one does not really have to use it, but if you have a lot of objects in the tree it can help you to organize things. Bodies are in general the exact same thing, but just a bit more specific for solids. They just group together, inside of a...

Re: v0.18 or later - Designing in Context

I have tested the LinkDev branch, relative placement and bindmodes works very well. But there are some issues in Sketcher. When i create a new sketch the report view show me: <TopoShape> TopoShapeEx.cpp(1405): Null shape And if i attach a sketch on shapebinders face and want to use the external geo...

Re: v0.18 or later - Designing in Context

First a question, is there really a need to have shapebinder, ghost, clone, link (linked copy),... how many more will we have? IMO all of this are basically the same thing (or can be used in the same way) and represent the "old way" of driving the geometry between Parts. Second, multi-bod...

Re: v0.18 or later - Designing in Context

I have refactored my new shape binder to be the workhorse in this particular cross coordinate system use case, i.e. design-in-context. My shape binder now works by default in Relative mode. Meaning that when you bind to a sub-shape in a body, the shape binder will link to the body, and use subname t...

Re: Assembly3 preview

The screencast you have added is 'in real life' not realisitic. Linking two circles on the same plane should normally result in zero DOF (considering one part is fixed/locked). Now there is still one DOF that can not excist. To my very humble opinion that is... 8-) There is really no DOF left in th...

Re: Sketch - Identify Geometry Index (inside and outside Edit Mode)

Feature Request submitted. Hope someone could add this feature :) [bug]https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=3374[/bug] Just stumbled upon this thread. This feature has been added to my branch when I implemented SketchExport, as you've already known. In my branch, the sketch elements are u...

Re: Assembly3 preview

I have added my own logic to auto relax/skip redundant composite constraints. Now multi-PlaneAlignment should be even more reliable. And multi-PlaneCoincident works, too. The order of appearance of the constraints determines how redundancies are handled. PlaneCoincident: the second PlaneCoincident o...

Re: Assembly3 preview

I am back from the topo naming thing. I've upgraded the entire Part WB with new topo naming, and It's about to be ready for testing. But before that, let's fix something here first. It turns out that SolveSpace allows redundant constraints. I just need to ignore the return status when it reports red...
