I'm trying to add some holes to a sheetmetal part. I'm using https://wiki.freecad.org/SheetMetal_SketchOnSheet as my guide.
My problem is that I do not see how to get a sketch of the selected face to work with. If I select the fact and go to the sketcher wb and select new sketch I get a dialog that seems to make sense "Select the method to attach this sketch to the selected object." Flatface or InertalCS The sketch is grayed out in the tree view. The sketch does not seem to have any features from the selected face.
I was expecting to see at least a rectangle or construction lines that I could use to constrain hole positions. It looks like all I may be getting is a sketch plane, and it's not even clear it's locked to the coordinates of the part.
And why is in grayed out in tree view even if I have a feature drawn on it?
What am I missing here? (besides a clue)
I know I could use the partdesign hole tool, but I still need a sketch to apply it.
