Spherical Knurl
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a knurl on the surface of a sphere based on an icosahedral groove. To do this, I created a sphere and I need to run grooves about a few different datum lines. When I go to make the second groove, my computer exudes heat for about 10 minutes then eventually FreeCAD draws some lines across the surface of the sphere (i.e. the groove doesn't actually eliminate material from the sphere). I'm a bit stuck here, any help appreciated.
When I leave the second groove in the FCStd file, the size skyrockets to 2 MB, so I can't attach it. In the attached, add a groove of Sketch XZSlots2 about DatumLine001. This should exhibit the behavior I describe above.

Re: Spherical Knurl
I've never seen this error before. @chrisb you're on a Mac too if I recall correctly. Have you seen this error before?

Re: Spherical Knurl
I'm modest, I do grove after grove, on a half sphere and end up with a Mirror, which I don't know how to do in PD Wb

Re: Spherical Knurl
No. I don't have the file mentioned in the error message. in my 0.20 installation. I recommend to clean the config files, and perhaps the whole directory.

No errors. Second groove is slow... Passes Geometry check - slow.

Re: Spherical Knurl
... I understand, it must be FreeCAD on the BBQ screen on heavy load when "knurling".
I think the cutting task is the showstopper.
Here another trial.
