Re: square and elliptical gear

Thanks for the example. When I loaded your file, I don't see anything. Did you have to install a plugin for this? Hello Inspired by the Solidwork demo, here is a 39.5x42mm elipse with 32 teeth module 2.5 certainly there is still a lot of polishing to do to remove sharps but it is a beginning in red ...

Re: draft wb: upgrade

Ok. I'll do the test matrix and post my result when done. Thanks all. ...It's not really how many options are selected at once but more of "which" selections ... I agree. However... that is more work for the developers. A simple warning when three snapping tools are chosen is simpler to wr...

Re: draft wb: upgrade

I believe a simple warning message could efficiently solve this issue. It's not really how many options are selected at once but more of "which" selections were selected for the task at hand. For example, I've discovered that when activating the Nearest Snap Location button, it would overr...

Re: draft wb: upgrade

The reason I could not upgrade was due to the fact that I enabled all snap location options on my Draft Snap Location Toolbar. Once I disabled all except for essentials, I was able to snap properly onto the ...
