Re: Units, Formula editor and multiplication

SketchFirst.Constraints.a + 0.3 * SketchHeight.Constraints.h And this fails because the SketchFirst.Constraints.a is in "deg", the SketchHeight.Constraints.h is in "mm" and it seems I can not specify the units for 0.3 to be "deg/mm". SketchFirst.Constraints.a + deg( 0....

Units, Formula editor and multiplication

This falls between possible bug or "know how to make the trick". I write it in this topic. I was trying to make some more (maybe advanced) part design tricks: I made 2 planes, defined a height with a sketch between the planes, and then I wanted to define a rotation of a object between the ...

Re: Arc is missing a constraint

The reason may be that I have used 2 tangent constraints. I shall use only one, then I can make constraint for the center location. Although I was using tangent constraint, the freedom for the center location was left more than one position, and I think one more freedom must be left to solve.

Arc is missing a constraint

Hello, I am pretty new here with FreeCAD but I found that (my version 0.18) is probably missing a arc constraint. The FreeCAD tells me that the sketch is fully constrainted but the Arc in matter of fact has unsolved freedom. By changing the angle in Constraint.a from 30 to 60 makes the arc length to...

Re: Sketcher does not allow usage of reference constraints

I am new to FreeCAD and I am very impressed about it. While trying to make a "scientific" design, I ran into exactly the same issue with FreeCAD 0.18 that I can not use reference constraint for calculated constraint. I also think this is useful to use reference constraints, it would make e...
