Question about Brep Files [SOLVED]

Post by Laurie Hartley »

Over the last couple of days I have started spontaneously accumulating files with the.brep extension in my home folder and another folder in my system where I keep my FreeCAD files- see screenshot.
I think I may have caused it because, out of curiosity ;), I attempted to export a techdraw drawing to DXF from the Techdraw workbench. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me why this is happening and how to stop it please.

On the Advanced tab of Preferences, do you have debug section and/or debug detail turned on?

For regular use these options should be turned off. They are only useful if you run into a particularly troublesome section or detail and need to figure out what is going wrong.

You can delete the brep files.

Thanks wanderefan - I think that has fixed it.
