Editing two sketches at the same time

[HurdyGuigui]

Hello,

I am new to FreeCAD and here is my first question.
Is there a way to create two different sketches (on differents plans) and editing the two sketches at the same time? IE, be able to move one point from sketch1 and then 1 point from sketch2 without closing sketch1 and opening sketch2? I would like to be able to have the two sketches open for editing at the same time.

Thank you.

Here is my current FreeCAD config :

Hello Hurdy,

It's not possible at this time, but this could be a worthy enhancement request. I believe it's never been asked on the bug tracker. It's really the best place to ask for new features, because forum posts can be quickly forgotten.

So I just opened a new issue #1391.

Actually I wouldn't bother with making a request for this. With the current internal structure of FC that assumes only one object to be in Edit mode at the time, such a feature is not realistically feasible. Why would one need to edit two sketches simultaneously? Is this practice available in any other commercial CAD?

[NormandC]

Yes, and I do it all the time.

Too late, as the link suggests, I already created the report.

interesting. Normand could you give me a more concrete example? Having most of my CAD experience with ProE I am unable to imagine this use case.
