Re: 1.0 feature freeze in sight

The naming scheme was Number.Number, and that's what I would continue to use. In the end it's just numbers. If we continue having one release per year, it will take 125 years until we reach the current Firefox version number.

Re: gNucleus : Generate FreeCAD models by GenAI

If you can provide more details about what is model about e.g. a short description in 1 or 2 sentences and a freecad model with features(steps), we can teach gNucleus to learn this example. It is part of a sleeve valve engine. The FreeCAD file is 1.6MB, I will try to simplify it to reduce the size.

Re: bug? PartDesign helix does not track some spreadsheet alias changes

You delete the alias name from the Spreadsheet. At that point, what is the helix supposed to do? It would not be absurd, if it behaved like in other cases, e.g. when you delete a cube of which you referenced the length, where the value is kept, and an error is shown in the tree. A way to use the ra...

Re: 1.0 feature freeze in sight

I would go for 1.0, because - if I'm allowed to make an educated guess - there will be a 1.1 befaore 2.0 comes out.

Re: Equal constraint can't be applied to mirrored slot arcs right away

I think we both have the same error and you do tricks behind the scene by using autoremove redundants?

The gif is much better now!

Re: bug? PartDesign helix does not track some spreadsheet alias changes

If I have a PartDesign SubtractiveHelix whose Height parameter is set to the named alias of a spreadsheet cell, and I delete that name as part of rearranging the spreadsheet, the PartDesign SubtractiveHelix changes the Height parameter to the spreadsheet normative cell number rather than maintainin...

Re: Where to store variables

The second option is to use spreadsheets, dynamic data or just a placeholder item of any kind (group/part/...) that accepts its own custom properties that can be referenced without href(). However, these approaches do not allow for customization in variant links and subshape binders (I think?). Wha...
