Hello!
I would like to make a corner overcut. Apparently it's also known as dogbone.
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Path_DressupDogbone/en
Well, what I mean is that I need to make a rectangle with some Mickey Mouse ears at each corner, like this:
The doc says that I should select Path -> path dressup -> Dogbone dressup.
My problem: where are these menus?
I have checked all the menus from the sketcher, none seems to correspond to this drill-like icon.
I have also check in the application menus, but found no paths.
Exit from sketch, no such menu either.
I thought it might be similar to fillets and I have checked the menus after selecting the corner line
in part view as below... nothing seems to do it.
Thanks for any hint!

Hi,
The Dogbone function is only available in the Path workbench, and it is not intended to model the part but to generate g-code.
(they will not be visible in the modelled part)
If you want to model these dogbones on your part, you have to do it manually, in a sketch with 4 circles for example

Hello!
Thanks for your reply!
Very interesting and unexpected info about GCode generation. I have a small CNC
in the lab, and it will certainly be useful.
As for the sketch, I noticed there are some ways to record macros, so I will check if it's feasible
without too much effort. It should be feasible with the rectangle position, size and corner diameter.
Thanks!

Re: Drawing a corner overcut
Hello again!
By the way another question: I'm trying to create a mickey mouse rectangle. From the geometrical point of view,
it should be feasible with only width, height and radius. And its position of course.
Now there is only one constraint missing (position aside). If I could either constrain the angle (in green in the
attachment) to 45 degrees, or if I could constraint the green A and B distances to be equal, It would be done.
I could of course constraint both distances by r*sqrt(2)/2, but they just have to be equal.
I also plaid with the angle, without success, it cannot be done with points, apparently.
Is this possible?
