![]() I chose to go with the latest version of FreeCAD because I wanted to try the new features, especially in the Path Workbench. I have a pretty good understanding of the appearance of bugs and on how things go wrong. I have been programming since 1965, and I worked in R&D for my entire career. I am fairly new to FreeCAD, but I am not new to life. Hash: a8c95189fcccea587f04a961ecabc0c944194770Īs a relative beginner I have a somewhat different view. 7z archive with 7-zip to an empty folder on your system (avoid using a directory with special characters, such as the German umlaut, in the path) then start by double clicking FreeCAD.exe in the bin folder of the extracted folder. For x32 you will need to install them from the above link. If you've previously installed the, these packages are already installed on your computer for 圆4. The 圆4 and x86 versions for Win require Visual C++ Redistributable for VS2013 and supports 32 and 64-bit Windows Vista/7/8/10 Ubuntu users can keep up with FreeCAD development using our Daily PPAįedora users can find user maintained Builds HereĪ user maintained Debian Jessie build is here For this reason we recommend that beginners install the 0.16 release at this time. Also much of the currently available learning material becomes outdated. ![]() Many bugs have been introduced and it will take some time to stabilize this version. This development cycle brings huge changes to many workbenches, among them Part Design and FEM. These snapshots are provided for testing purposes and bug reporting. These are pre-release development snapshots of the 0.17 development cycle for Win and OS X. With this preamble completed, I would like for the description of the 0.17_pre Release page to be changed to emphasize this situation. It's going to take months before we get to a point where PDN is stabilized enough, and the experienced users comfortable enough to provide help.Īnd that's not to mention the stuff happening in FEM, Path, etc. I iknow that Part and Body usage still has me confused, not to mention datum geometry creation. Add to that that even experienced users such as myself, bejant and maybe others are still not sure of how the new Part Design features are supposed to work. But more importantly, all the tutorials out there (wiki, Youtube) pertaining to a Part Design work flow are literally obsolete. We've been waiting for the new stuff in PartDesignNext for years, we're all eager to use it, but it's still buggy/incomplete. In my opinion, it is not a good idea for beginners to start with the 0.17 version. As it could represent the automatic zoom level set by the PDF viewer? To fit the content on the screen? Likely not but if you are doing that the number 59 has not much to do with 1:1 scale of drawing.I've been noticing of late that many beginners install the pre-release version rather than the 0.16 release. There is a slim chance you are just misinterpreting the number 59. When you say 59% you are saying there are additional white spaces around the drawing that shouldn't be there? If yes could you describe the procedure you use to create a PDF file of the drawing. It's back to my 2D CAD for some printing sanity on this project. I say, "around" as the decimal part was a little different, but all three agreed on the 59. The PDF viewers I tried, including one in Windows all showed the current size as save from FC at around 59.2767% Not sure about your PDF viewer(s), but none of the three I have tried, will convert that to a true 1:1. I actually started with the PDF approach as the off-line PC also has no access to the printer, so the PDF was the only option. If it does getting this PDF printed at 1:1 scale isn't related to FreeCAD anymore. ![]() The FC on this PC is the Appimage version and I cannot seem to get it to install the DXF thing. Tried saving as SVG as suggested and just looking at it i Image Viewer, it had the holes everywhere but the right places.Ĭan't export to DXF as that PC doesn't have the Plug-in and that computer is not online. I can't seem to get anything to work for a 1:1 print. I need to compare some holes I have reverse engineered from a badly torn gasket. ![]() Searching returned many discussions on the issue around 2013. ![]()
