I tried with security off and the FreeCAD configuration files restored. I moved everything in AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD to a new directory. I tried opening and exporting old files from before the problem.
It has been good until today (always on the the latest stable version, 0.19-24291 downloaded from ). I am on Windows 7, and have been using FreeCAD for a couple of weeks. Sorry about that but i guess it has become a thing to be aware of. Memory is pretty cheap, so what reason could they have to shove everything into the cloud, even without an opt-out function? I think i will NEVER use a program that stores things in the cloud only if I will ever be forced by an employer, which seems unlikely.Īaaand it became a rant about cloud services. Oh whats that, an Internet outage? Well i guess I'm fucked. No i don't need the cloud calculating power for every project. really, the ONLY advantage it gives for the user is simple sharing if more people use the same project or if you work on the same project with more than one computer. On the same thought my 2cents for CAD programs:įUCK THE CLOUD. So that sucks, but if you want to model artistically rather than mechanically it might be a good tool. I have tried blender, and it works really good if you don't want things to be very accuarte because booleans might not work then. It is relatively simple and quite powerful. It is not perfect but there are tons of tutorials on the web. I like to advice freeCad for that reason link. So I guess I am one of the few people who really, really likes open source. Thus this plane parametrically represents a sort of "top".įor now, your best bet involves trying to minimize the number of sketches attached to geometry. So for example if you have a sketch on the XY plane and you then pad it to Pad.Length, you can make a datum plane which is parallel to XY plane at a Z-position of Z=Pad.Length.
Also, the ordering of faces can change, so that what was once your correct attachment to Face1 now points at a different actual face on the object.īesides the topological naming project, this is also being addressed in 0.17 by allowing for things like datum planes, which can parametrically defined. filleting one of its edges, will break that dependency. If you have a cube, say, with faces Face1 through Face6, and you attach a sketch to a face, any operation which causes that face to change, e.g. There's a Google Summer of Code project open for this: and you can also find a lot of information by searching for "topological naming".Įssentially, when you make a sketch depend on a topological name, it's a very brittle dependency. What you're describing is called the topological naming problem.
