Hello Everyone.
Complete noob here, im attempting to remodel the front facia for a UPS.
ive spent all day watching youtube, and making super slow progress it has at least been progress, up until the past hour or so.
Ive figured out arrays, i know i cant use an array as a template for pocketing a pad, so i opted for shapebinder. buuut every time i try to do a Pocket with shapebinder as the template FreeCAD becomes unresponsive.
heres my progress and my FCStd file. any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
in addition and just more of an FYI im running the latest FreeCAD 0.19.4 (downloaded fresh today)
Windows 10 Pro
Intel I7-4770K
16gb DDR3
AMD Radeon RX 5700
Crucial MX500 SSD

Hi and welcome to the forum!
It works here, but takes indeed veerrry long. I tried only one of the pockets and it took 10-15 minutes.
Although the patterns have been improved, you can try to do this in Part workbench, where it may be faster.

Part workbench is here indeed much faster. A full recompute is done here in 13 seconds. For the development I recommend to reduce in the arrays the number of the occurrences in X and Y directions. If it all works well you can set them finally to the desired values.

Re: Pocket, Pad, Shape Binder, Not Responding
Excellent, chris.
Thank you very much.
I could get half of them to pocket, albeit in about 15-20 mins but the other half (the offset) took +40mins before i Alt+F4'd.
My concern was that it didnt appear to be doing anything. although i did note that CPU was ~25% Loaded and taskmanager showed power usage "very high" for FreeCAD Process. I was not aware of being able to pocket in "Part" Workbench, i will look into this!

Re: Pocket, Pad, Shape Binder, Not Responding
I guess, that the 25% are part of the overall performance with multiple (=4?) kernels and that the FreeCDA process used 100% of a single one.

Not 100% sure how Windows calculates it
Re: Pocket, Pad, Shape Binder, Not Responding
Many thanks @chrisb
This is the final not too far adrift from OEM. So your help really... errr... helped!
