Forgot one thing...
Tools > Dependency Graph
Fails miserably on the attached thingie.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Make the body you wish the shapebinder to reside in active by double clicking it (it should have a blue background,) then select shapebinder tool, and select reference geometry, close dialogue, the shapebinder will reside in the body but will not be visible if the ref geom is still visible, make ref geom invisible and the shapebinder appears!

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
It isn't missing. Hide Sketch001 to see the ShapeBinder.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Ahh... Make the relevant BODY visible (press space), there are many ways to make mistakes.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Not for me. And it shows a linking error (the red arrow).
You cannot attach an external sketch to a plane inside a Body, the sketch needs to be inside the body. Either detach your sketch from Body's XZ_Plane and just let it be "free floating", or create a Part container (Std Part) that will contain the three bodies, and attach the sketch to the XZ_Plane plane of the Part container.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Hmm... The intent was to keep it as clean as possible, i.e. to use the "Master Sketch" principle fully.NormandC wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 2:23 am You cannot attach an external sketch to a plane inside a Body, the sketch needs to be inside the body.

I seem to have failed with that.
edit: Hrm? How do you create a sketch WITHOUT attachment? - NOT click on any of the options? I haven't even considered that possible...
Detach => Sketch WB, Attach to plane and select "Do not attach" at the end?
I also have a more evolved file now (too large to attach, dropbox -> https://www.dropbox.com/s/eij69uae1a67p ... FCStd?dl=0)
and seem to not have got it built in way that allows changes to the "Sketch_Master"
(all named constrains except "ringCenterRadius" should allow adjusting... and as always; Fillets fail, but didn't really expect anything else).
And also here i get a crash; /usr/bin/dot (from graphviz, in bezier)
as I try to use dependency graph.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Create the sketch from within Sketcher workbench, not PartDesign.
You can also detach a sketch using attachment editor, which can be invoked by clicking "..." button next to MapMode property of the sketch in property editor.

Re: Master sketch + Shapebinder
Based on this discussion https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 23#p288623
I guess there is at least one redundant constraint in "Body_Top > Revolution > Sketch002" - in the file on dropbox (v4, not the initial file).
This does not show, the sketch is "Fully Constrained" with green lines all over.
