I wonder how to pad this ..

Post by pgershon »

Sorry to bother folks, I am new and the only way I know how to pad is to hit the pad button. However, with sketch002 selected and/or opened/closed (attached), I don't see a pad button. I also don't see any tasks listed for for the sketch. I don't see a pad option in any menu, I don'tsee anyone else on the internet with exactly this issue, and the help menu in my copy of FreeCAD is "FreeCAD help files not found".

I am hampered by my ignorance, and the walls are closing in :-)

Many thanks, Paul

Did you select Part design workbench?

Start WB has no tools.

the question is surprising: with which workshop did you make the first Pad and the Pocket?

Please have a look at tbe big red banner at thetop and provide your FreeCAD information: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2264

And yes, a screenshot would be very helpful. I guess you're in the wrong workbench.

Thanks all, I was an idiot, somehow I was still in 'Sketcher', I did not have 'Part Design' selected.

OK I have now read the red banner stuff, I should have provided a screenshot, sorry about that. My version is 0.19.

Thanks again and best regards, Paul.
