Freecad Critter

[edit 12-1-12] After some code adjustments and I slight change I was able to keep moving forward.

* 77c4da5 Sketcher: reenable directional autoconstraints
* 90a7787 Add DXF export of Drawing module to export command
* afcaa8b Sketcher: Implement symmetry with respect to a point constraint, aka m
* b6eec06 Sketcher: Support auto-constraints with root cross elements and swap a
Instead of deleting the constraints individual and then the object, I deleted the object, saved closed the file and reopened.  Also, instead of circles, I just used some points.
There are still some critters in there with when individual constraints are deleted.  But at least I can keep moving forward here.

 

jonas@jonas-laptop:~/freecad/free-cad$ git log –oneline –graph –all
* afcaa8b Sketcher: Implement symmetry with respect to a point constraint, aka midpoint constraint
* b6eec06 Sketcher: Support auto-constraints with root cross elements and swap axes colors
* 6d9539f 0000894: Invert mouse Zoom for CAD mouse model
* 98c2c18 Remove Svg prefix from enum type
* 5511748 Sketcher: Add root point by default Replace all Vertex ids with Geo,Pos id pairs in CommandConstraints
* 56e352c Define closeDialog() method in Control as slot to allow delayed destruction of task dialogs

I was trying to orientate the z-axis rail to the base with a technique that’s been working but something appears to be broke.  Here’s what I did.

  1. Imported a step file of the Sherline support column (Works fine) File can be found here:
    Select Sketcher workbench, shift-left click surface where the z-axis rail mounts to base and create sketch  (Works fine)
  2. Create 4 external links to the bores in the support column where the rail attaches  (Works fine)
  3. Randomly draw 4 circles on the sketch not constrained to anything(Works fine)
  4. Create concentric constraints to align  center sketch circles to align to the external geometry (Works fine)
  5. Delete the concentric constraints (Works Fine)
  6. Delete SherlineSupportColumn (Works Fine)
  7. Double Click on the sketch (Works Fine)
  8. Attempt to create a lock constraint on lower left hand corner.  Lock constraint flashes and disappears. (no constraint appears in the list)
  9. Attempt to create a length constraint on the lower to center points of circles results in a segmentation fault
