Re: A bracket for the Axidraw plotter
I forgot: I used Freecad version 0.18.4 that has been packaged for the Testing branch of Debian Linux. I used povray to create the rendering from Freecad. I didn't keep track of exactly how much time it took, but I knew absolutely zero about CAD two weeks ago. Starting a couple of weeks ago, I went ...

Re: Specify XY coordinate for object in sketch?
You're welcome, and please post some pics in the Users Showcase forum! I just posted it there. The part is very simple, so I don't imagine too many CAD experts will get too excited by it. The part does work exactly as I wanted it to, and I did not have to make any changes to it. It worked with the ...

A bracket for the Axidraw plotter
I just had my first ever part 3D printed, and it came out perfectly. I own an Axidraw plotter: https://axidraw.com/ The Axidraw is a machine designed to hold a pen and write on paper. Two stepper motors move the pen in the XY position and a small servo motor lifts and drops the pen on the paper. I a...

Re: Specify XY coordinate for object in sketch?
Thank you all for the help. Problem solved. I just had my first ever custom part 3D printed. It is a small bracket for a research instrument in my lab. I designed it in Freecad and it turned out great. My screw holes are positioned perfectly.

Re: Specify XY coordinate for object in sketch?
Thank you for responding and providing more suggestions for reading. I figured it out, but I was trying to follow the tutorial for designing a simple part and it doesn't work as the tutorial is written. Here is a quote from https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Creating_a_simple_part_with_PartDesign Selec...

Specify XY coordinate for object in sketch?
Please forgive me for my first post being a dumb question. I tried searching the forums and could not find an answer that works, but I assume this has been asked before. I am totally new to CAD drawing, but have successfully made a few part designs using Freecad, thanks to the software developers. I...
