FreeCAD Forum

Hello, Now that's a complicated, potentially conflictual topic, nearly as much as the FreeCAD logo... ;) Some history, if anyone cares about it. The FreeCAD default background colour dates back from its early days, nearly 20 years ago. Juergen Riegel (FreeCAD's founder) based it on CATIA's, which he...

Thanks very much for the suggestions. The 'revolve' solution will definitely help with the outer holes so I just need to give some thought about how to apply your suggestion to pad in different directions for the inner holes. Hi, Your use of the "Pad" term seems to suggest you're using th...

So it's not only me. BTW, I've been unable to login from the forum.freecad.org domain. My credentials only work with forum.freecadweb.org. Don't know if it's normal. I did try to search the forum, but obviously, search being what it is, I came up empty.

By coincidence, at work today I had to model a spring wrapped around ...

please rename the topic again, it looks horrible and makes the entire forum look bad.. I will not . I left it entirely to the moderators/admins. The fact that the topic is still pinned as a general announcement is exactly what I wanted to shed to light. Since my angered reply on Saturday, not a sin...

Not anymore. I'm shutting down this topic. If you want to know why, read it in the first post.

BOLTS and Drawing Dimensioning Addon are pretty much obsolete, as nobody has maintained them in a couple of years. The Addon manager proposes the BOLTSFC fork by forum member bernd and FEM workbench developer. If he was willing, maybe he could update it to work with Python 3. Or maybe a developer k...
