I'm very new to freecad ad making some tests I got a very unexpected result.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't understand what.
The operation I followed are the following.
I opened a fresh instance of freecad, and I loaded the attached model.
The model is a simple combination of sketches pads and pokets.
Now I want to add a hole to my model.
At first I click on Carrier-Pad, I type a blank, and I make it visible. As expected I got the Carrier-Pad
Then I double click on the CarrierSketch. As expected, the sketch editor opens, and I can modify the sketch.
Now I place a circle, and everything is as expected.
The sequence of the operation is shown in the following image:
As next I should constrain the circle, but to keep the example short I didn't that. The unexpected problem comes out also with a full constrained sketch. So I close the sketch. Again, no visible problem
Now I click on the Chip-Pad, I type a space to make it visible, and this is the result:
The pocket is now on the lower side, and the Chip-Pad rotated.
