Thanks for the nice work you are doing for the FC community! Have you thought of recording some programming sessions? I think the people who want to get into FC development would benefit from these types of videos.
That was my initial plan actually, but I don't know how to make good videos as I spend a lot of time staring at my screen and thinking, going back and forth editing code and fixing things. So I fear that would be very boring videos. I should do that for an easy tool that I can code from begining to the end without hesitation. Maybe the L shape tool.
@@freecaddevdiary7038 I don't think you have to worry about you your manners. Thats something that everybody does while codin. Just go for it! Turn your recording on the next time you code :)
Amazing dev, being new to freecad this has helped alot, thank you. Just one silly question does this come on latest release? Or do we have to download it.
This is being discussed on the forum. We'll probably add an autoconstraint that will create a symetric constraint of the created point in middle of the line.
@@freecaddevdiary7038 Thanks for this! I highly recommend making the symmetry point a different colour than the end points for easier distinguishing. Love all the work you are doing!
Thanks for all the work you're doing with Freecad. Has viewport gizmos been discussed to allow easy manipulation of items in a sketch? Also, do you know if the TNP been address in the current builds?
Sorry I don't know what is viewPort gizmos. TNP I guess it's topological naming problem. It hasn't merged yet no. The Realthunder PR is opened for almost a year now I wonder how long it will take. Hope it'll get merged soon.
Love it, Anyway you could do a video for us none programming people on how we could download your branch? Or maybe if you can make it an add-on alternate workbench? Your doing great work. 🍻
Thanks! I'm not really a professional developper to say the truth. To try the branch you would need to follow this tutorial first : wiki.freecadweb.org/Compile_on_Windows And when you can compile then you can fetch my branch by : git remote add PaddleStrokeFork github.com/PaddleStroke/FreeCAD.git # 'PaddleStrokeFork' is a free name git fetch PaddleStrokeFork ConstraintContextual # 'ConstraintContextual' is the branch name limiting fetching to this branch. git branch ConstraintContextual FETCH_HEAD git checkout ConstraintContextual
What release is this planned for? Is it in a dev branch somewhere? I would really love to use this feature to save about 8hrs of work and I can't seem to find it.
Hi! It has not merged yet, but the PR should probably merge within a week or two. However if you want you can already use the scale tool in the Ondsel Assembly playground : github.com/Ondsel-Development/FreeCAD/releases/tag/Assembly_Playground
Ondsel assembly playground is a custom build of freecad for user who wants to try out the assembly workbench currently in development. And some sketcher features that I made, scale included.
Hi, I have a video serie about coding a feature for Freecad : th-cam.com/video/Csq1qQce3T0/w-d-xo.html It's maybe not perfect but I hope it can help you a little ! If you want to make some features for freecad I suggest that you join the forum to present you and what you want to do. Cheers
Your tools are wonderful, they will make sketching in FreeCAD way more convenient. I can’t wait to use them in the future version :-)
How i can install this features on my freecad?
Nice Work. The sketcher grows :)
great work dude!

While you're thinking about snapping can you add snapping to line center like Fusion 360 has?

Or you can wait until it merges, which might be simpler :)

@@pierreboyer9277 Thanks a million for the followup!
I don't have this in my freecad, how do I get it?
It hasn't merged yet in master. You can ask on the forum if you want, it will maybe show interest and motivate maintainers to get it merged :)
Can't find it in FreeCAD. How to install it or enable?
It's in 0.22 dev version not in 0.21
@@freecaddevdiary7038 great thanks
I'm programer, but i dont undestand how i can start make features for freecad. can you make one video to explain that?

your reviewing a upgrade feature that doesn't even exist !
By the way, nice work
