Does it also need the version number?

not sure if directed at me but i have to defer to those who are knowledgable about the underlying implementation details.

before opening an issue on github id like to get opinions on this. imo the workbenches used in a document should be stored in the portable freecad file. this way consumers of your file can be notified when opening that their local install doesnt include the necessary workbenches to continue developm...

I don't work with links and multiple documents much, so there might be a better way. You could try putting the spreadsheet in the source and make a link to the spreadsheet in the destination document.

It creates a circular dependency does it not? The link obviously depends on the source. Then if you also make the source depend on the link you get a circular dependency. that makes sense. i figured it might be a snapshot of whatever that value was at that time. is there a way around this so you ca...

ive hopefully included enough information for minimal reproduction.

if i edit the formula of a sketch in a linked object(std part) with a static value 1ft it seems fine, but if i use a spreadsheet value it gets in this save loop where if i save it will put the source document in an unsaved state. if i save the source docuement it will put the destination document in...

not sure if related but in a sketch dimension formula field i cant use the unit ' but i can use "/ft/in:


i can also use ' just fine in the sketches constraints property data tab.

If you write 23"/8, it also works OK. Fewer keystrokes but more thinking. Improper (top-heavy) fractions are the way... thanks for the tip! This is a work around rather than a solution, but if you do: = 2"+7"/8 it seems to work OK. In other words, put an equals sign in front of the d...

posting here for confirmation before i make an issue on gh. wanting: 2⅞", i can enter that as a sketch constraint dimension or function as: 2" + 7"/8, and it works: Screenshot_20231014_203903.png but it doesnt get parsed properly in a spreadsheet: Screenshot_20231014_203253.png it see...

where should a discussion be opened for talk about getting icons included into preference packs? would love to see your icons included in this.
