trajectory of a point

Post by Pyxyz »

Hello,

2 questions about FreeCAD Sketcher :

- is it possible to trace the trajectory of a point when we animate the sketch with the mouse ?

- is it possible to define constraint based on a trajectory path for a particular point ?

Thanks.

Can anyone suggest a strategy to do what Pyxyz asks for or something vaguely similar to this:

Not in general, because there is no point-on-object constraint for B-splines.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
