First post, I plan to improve https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Tutoria ... en_windows by adding a new 5.1 point "Make sure Relative (R) is not selected". My default was having it selected, and the resulting shape was far from the intended rectangle.

Hello Everyone

I am just joining the Forum, but was looking into FreeCAD for a while already.
Now my colleague here at work just told me about an idea that could contribute to the documentation Wiki.
We are from Switzerland (german speaking) and have two apprentices in mechanical engineering, who have to do a study in their english lesson.
Now we thought about bringing two things together. They could make translations for the FEM Workbench for example. So they can learn about FEM and english.

They could just start with this page and post it as plain text here. https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/FEM_Install
Maybe I can also help them later to bring the output to the wiki if I get the permission of you guys and girls...

Regards
patrick

Sounds great. Please though run things by @bernd over in the FEM subforum that way you're all on the same page. PM me for permissions

First post, planning to edit https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/3Dconne ... es#Windows

I will add:
To prevent 3Dconnexion from sending duplicate scroll events to FreeCAD, causing the view to jump, you must change settings. With FreeCAD open as the topmost window, open 3Dconnexion Properties (double-click its icon in the Taskbar, next to the system clock). Click on the Advanced Settings button. In Advanced Settings, confirm that it says "FreeCAD" in the heading and then uncheck all the boxes under Navigation.
This is explained, and my edit was requested here - https://freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1893

Hello,

I have tried to send a message to Yorik but the message is stayed in "sending mode", I can't see it in the "sended message" section.
Is there a way to force the sending process ?

doesn't look like you read and followed the instructions since you don't seem to have sent me a copy as well,

you are supposed to send one message to both of us, so one of us can act and the other knows if its dealt with or not.

If you had followed the instructions you would only have had to wait for half a day while I was at a cattle sale rather than several weeks while Yorik is away on holidays.

Yes, you're right. I have first followed the "French" forum and then trying to contact Yorik first. After checking the "English default" forum I read your instructions but it was too late, my message was already sended. I'm sorry for this mistake.
