Re: Thank you for your help and Freecad
This is a 10 second Blender Cycles render. The edge reflection is achieved by using a 'cheat' Bevel shader.

Thank you for your help and Freecad
Just to say thank you for the support that I have received for the one or two issues I have encountered with FC from this forum. I feel as if I'm over the initial hump of the learning curve and look forward to the future. I attach a couple of practice pieces.

Re: SpaceNavigator - strangeness after using Blender
Hi sorry, was away from compute. Just downloaded latest build to test and still have the same problem. It is as if Freecad, after opening Blender, re-orientates the SpaceNav incorrectly.

SpaceNavigator - strangeness after using Blender
Hi All, SpaceNavigator working fine with Freecad. Perfect also with Blender. But not after using Blender and returning to Freecad. This has been going on for over a year now, no matter which version I use. Something in Blender corrupts thing (axis gets reversed?) and a reboot is required to use my S...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
OK, I have an actual solution for this now. The problem seems to be a bad version of fontconfig included with the current Windows installer of GraphViz. I don't know the internal details of what is wrong with it, but simply creating a new fontconfig.dll and replacing the one that is shipped with Gr...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
Hi Carlopav and looo, Carlopav's solution has been working great for me and I haven't been able to reproduce the crashes of earlier except when using the b-spline in sketcher. Not a full crash but certainly deeply unstable and dissatisfied, with the bleet below: Unhandled Base::Exception caught in G...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
Thanks again Carlopav, Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have been unable to reproduce the initial instability issues. I need to spend a little time getting to know the wb. So far all that I have encountered is an inability to delete parts/stages and can only remedy such with undo button. I suspect t...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
Anoter idea: can you try the Curves wb? It should use pivy, but not import Draft. You find It in the addon manager. Can you start It without crashes? Can open Curves wb but as soon as I try to use any tool it freezes up with notification: Unhandled Base::Exception caught in GUIApplication::notify. ...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
Chris, thanks, will try. Carlopav - thanks for your interest. Option 1: No document open = no crash Option 2: Insert gui_trackers.py with open document = black screen. Interestingly I was able to close the doc and open another without FC crashing(closing). However, clearly slower and twitchy with re...

Re: Black screen - Draft WB
Can you create a custom toolbar with e.g. a Draft->Array icon and use that? I can get the array modifier set up in the customise toolbar but as soon as I reload FC the icon is missing with 'Gui module not loaded' in the customise toolbar popup. Just tried again. Actually got to do a basic polar arr...
