Is it possible to use another body as the base feature? This will be needed when I wish to modify the base body adding features to it and see them adopted in all other bodies that use it as base feature.

Draft Clone does it again! ;)

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 22.10 (ubuntu:GNOME/ubuntu)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.21.31109 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: c23ee7ad88433a0f00e84afae0a62fe738be0c09
Python 3.10.8, Qt 5.15.4, Coin 4.0.0, Vtk 9.1.0, OCC 7.6.3
Locale: English/United States (en_US)
Seems that this bug still exists. The shapebinder became fused with the model in the attached file.

Just drag it out of the body (see PartDesign_ShapeBinder#Notes)

Just tried that. The shape is still fused to the body.

The problem is the attachment of the sketch:

Get it fixed, and the first Pad will look like this:

Alas, as you have attached sketches to (generated) faces the model breaks due to the TNP. Instead of re-attaching things I rather recommend to fix it following the advice for creating stable models.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Ok thanks, I'll try to follow those tips.
