2) why don't you simply continue to use your great 70%-CAD program and stop annoying us ? If you make such a fuss for that simple feature, there really is no point for you to continue because there will be much bigger things across your path. So please, continue to use Fusion 365 and let it be.

Re: Freecad coming from Fusion360
The point is I doubt anyone would be against that improvement, but nobody is going to code it just because you say so, remember, they don't get paid to code. If you want to you can implement it and if it's implemented properly it will surely get merged (this is a feature I would really like to have actually)sergio_belgium wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 7:17 pm Sure autodesk with a marketshare 70% of the world is wrong and a freeware programm is correct.

Wanna know why FreeCAD has to reinvent the wheel? Because all the propietary software that in your opinion are so perfect keep their code hidden unlike FreeCAD.

Re: Freecad coming from Fusion360
valid point, this shortcut seems to be conflicting with the default shortcuts for tangent constraint and rectangle, it should be changed to a more reasonable default, can you weight in abdullah?sergio_belgium wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 3:00 pm And then there are some functions like TRim (T, R) well sorry it doesn't work for me Ik keep toggling between first T and then R, and reverse. But i never see trim nomatter what i do. how difficult can it be to make a shift-T or control-T???

you probably want the Sketcher_ConstrainBlockAlso I cannot find how to "lock" a line without constraints.
You love that you don't have to pay but you clearly don't care much about having free software (as in freedom, not as in free beer)I love that it's freeware I really do, but it could be so much better. And honestly if Fusion would be cheaper i would swith immidiately back.
Unless someone can convince me

I think this will come in handyyou probably want the Sketcher_ConstrainBlock
I do otherwise i would not bother to write those errors down in the hope they get improved.You love that you don't have to pay but you clearly don't care much about having free software (as in freedom, not as in free beer)
And about that invention of the wheel. You are partially right, they do hide there sourcecode. But the whole point of a forum is to talk about errors and improvements. And attacking me or other users that make the switch (only because Fusion 360 is outrageous pricey) isn't going to help. But listening to what is different (and better) would be a better investement of their time.
If you would make a poll on why users switch from fusion360 to freecad I don't think many would answer because they like freecad more.
So my point is listen or group the request those users make and improve the program. It has been proven to be the better way due to a bigger marketshare and a bigger community.
While being medior is already great for a free program. It would be great if could really compete with the best right?
On topic, i'm still searching my way around certain constrains so my workflow does not get interrupted or broken. Probably with help (like from you) I can find a way (not perfect but workable)
But I stay firm that the distance-between-constrain could be better, more userfriendly and less time consuming
Re: Freecad coming from Fusion360
You can always open a thread and attach the file. Some users (inlcuding me) will help you with the constraints and make a video how to do it!sergio_belgium wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 7:11 amThanksadrianinsaval wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 1:33 am valid point, this shortcut seems to be conflicting with the default shortcuts for tangent constraint and rectangle, it should be changed to a more reasonable default, can you weight in abdullah?

Re: Freecad coming from Fusion360
i was gonna use fusion
they even gave us free start up licence with all the bells with whistles
but turns out you can't change fusion gui and icons are too small
I can't see small icons

FreeCAD is inspired by CATIA, first time released in 1982. Guess where was Autodesk in 1982. I am full time PTC Creo user, and while I see FreeCAD does a lot things different, I can use both packages without any problem. And some are similar, eg. a lot of constraints (eg. symmetry) work on points, not lines...sergio_belgium wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 4:09 pm SO you are saying that autodesk with + 20years of experience in CAD is wrong.
Really funny
Re: Freecad coming from Fusion360
We do need to review Sketcher shortcuts. There are new features that could use an own shortcut (e.g. corner preserving fillet). There are several shortcuts that do not work.adrianinsaval wrote: ↑Fri May 07, 2021 1:33 am valid point, this shortcut seems to be conflicting with the default shortcuts for tangent constraint and rectangle, it should be changed to a more reasonable default, can you weight in abdullah?
The problem with doing it is not in the code, but in the people. I foresee resistance if shortcuts are changed (read, if shortcuts need to be changed), upon review. I think we might have too little single keystroke shortcuts for the sketcher. Some shortcuts, like shift+o for PoO are not very comfortable.
I think this needs to be open as a separate thread and gain some community agreement. Changing the code is something anybody can do.
