I do not see anything wrong, but there are a lot of other details. For example, the environmental variables (Path settings) could be interfering. The only thing I would add is that I would never try to use C:\Program Files for anything related to self-compiling. Windows tends to protect that locati...

distutils is no longer used by freecad for python > 3.10 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/11068, this has also been backported to the 0.21 branch, 0.21.2 should not require distutils to compile. I'm not sure if there are any other python 3.12 incompatibilities This PR appears to explain why ...

I must be from a different planet. I don't see any positives for this "common" usage. Adds a lot of complication for no real purpose.

If I wasted only 5 seconds per sketch that would be a huge improvement.

The gcode you posted has x-positions of +/- 605.0 mm and y-positions of +/- 403.0 mm.

That matches the sketch. Seems larger than what you stated above.

This problem appears to be caused by an old Marlin_post.py that has not been updated for the restructured Path WB. See the first two pinned topics in the Path forum. I do not know if somone has updated that postprocessor. I do not believe I have ever seen any mention of Marlin for a mill; only for ...

Please don't call it a "bug".

It may be a limitation of an unfinished project.

4th-axis is not officially supported at this time.

the GUI tools just don't seem like they were designed with this use case in mind. Scaling has long been considered to be a poor choice for parametric CAD. The concept is that one should change the parameters, not the scaling. The support of scaling in FreeCAD has increased a lot in the past couple ...

Frankly, I believe a Sketcher sub-forum will be hard to manage. As chrisb said, a very large percentage of help topics heavily involve sketches.

A Sketcher "development forum" could make sense, but probably not a forum that tries to contain all Sketcher topics.

I do not build the meshes either. They are a required part of the 3D surface operation, and FreeCAD generates them automatically.

OK, it sounds like you are actually trying to compile the latest Master version, 0.22. Good. I cannot say what might be happening, but a guess is that you have not selected the correct location for the LibPack in the CMake configure screen. It may also indicate that you have not copied all the file...
