Sounds reasonable if you can live with the whole bunch of sketches.
Well I think I have to ;)

topological naming and master sketches for assemblies

Hey all, I am assembling and optical setup with assembly4 by having one master sketch where each edge represents a light path and vertices correspond to positions of optical elements. The light path splits and recombines occasionally; ergo does the master sketch. From what I read and experienced tha...

Use a Datum point or part point.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up!

Re: New Vertices not accesible in 'edit datum' dialogue

Why ? The user has a problem involving sketches and datum objects, nothing assembly related. I don't mind where this is discussed, but it seemed well assembly related, because the file contains LCSs which arent created that way by the core application.

Hi, while using the Assembly 4 workbench on FreeCAD 0.19 I encountered the following problem regarding a (master) sketch: Whenever I leave the first editing session of a sketch the sketch seems to lock the objects accessible to the "create new coordinate system in part"/"edit datum&qu...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

I attached a file to demonstrate the issue: master:Vertex7 and master:Vertex8 do exist (verified via Selection View) but I cannot chose them while attaching an LCS. the sketch "master" has only 4 vertices, Vertex7 doesn't exist, not anymore than Vertex8. The reason that LCS_7 doesn't repo...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Hi all! Is there a way to update the master sketch with, e.g., additional points? Whenever I leave the first editing session of a sketch the sketch seems to lock the objects accessible to the "create new coordinate system in part"/"edit datum" selection dialogue: If I edit the sk...
