During the course of the rotation attachment points change. Am I doing something stupid or is this a bug? This is FreeCAD's dreaded topological naming issue. There is a simple solution in this case: create an additional LCS, set the rotation that you initially wanted in your sketch between this new...

I am starting a new project which will be composed of multiple parts many of which have identical dimensions. So that the dimensions will be identical in each of the parts I created a Template Sketch in my Assembly If you're only interested in common dimensions, did you think about using Variables ...

I am trying to get going with Assembly4, basing my work on Zolko's tutorial with the shaft and bearings. do you mean this tutorial ? Or the video tutorial based on it ?

I have just made a sketch and imported the sketch in TD. I see the profile. ... I admit I did not understand your comment about switching to 3D view. what I mean is that once you have imported the sketch into TechDraw, and you edit it, you enter the Sketcher WB which shows the sketch in a 3D window...

constraining a sketch is quite different than what would be a working or shop drawing. so no, I dont see this as cool But why is doing work double no big deal ?
