Hi all,
I have more dreams yet for FreeCAD:

Workflow
Set of remembered directories like below:
Last_Opened_File_Dir
Last_Saved_File_Dir
Last_Imported_File_Dir
Last_Imported_Step_Dir
Last_Imported_SVG_Dir
Last_Exported_Step_Dir
Last_Exported_SVG_Dir
Last_Exported_ByType_Dir
Last_Fonts_Dir
etc.

Some of the workbenches make change to the default system directory and this is for me problematic.
Why?
In the design process we have some directories with project's atoms, sets of elements from many sources.
After that we make 3D outputs, 2D outputs for workshops etc.
Walks there and back throught the system directories leads to mistakes and the chance for save in unexpected locations growths.
It means - unexpected "virtual lost" of files.

Drag&Drop
I have observed that in my 0.17 Drag&Drop on the file diaolgs doesn't works.
In 0.18 works :)

Regards
Mariusz

Hi all,
I was looking for Forum section for workbenches but I can't find any special for fasteners, so I have decide to write it here.

I did the tests of the 0.18 on quite complicated sheet metal design done this days in 0.17.
1. Search doesn't work by me - clicking on it gives no action.
2. Fasteners
I am using many PEM's and I have added M2 and M2.5 to the Fasteners WB myself - first Python code in my life :P .

Rendering of the PEM's inserted in 0.17 looks ok, but editing leads to errors similar to shown below.

I have added one Stud, one Standoff and pressnut and only PressNut is ok.
Standoff and Stud are grayed, no rendering visible.
Errors below:

Code: Select all

P.S. I feel it makes sense to mention this from time to time. ;)
I feel it makes sense to mention that out of all the regulars who provide support, most of which are more active than you in that role, most disagree with you.

No issue whatsoever.

Oh no, you are the undisputed champion in that regard, no question. :roll:

No originality either.

Never condone your extreme views in this regard, that much is true. As for your badmouthing, thanks, but no thanks.

@chrisb often says he is your pupil and has learned much from you. In my opinion it's time you learn something from @chrisb too.
