In my opinion, alias still has problems. i don't use them, but the cell names e.g. <<Spreadsheet>>.A1

Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
Thanks a lot!
Very far down the spreadsheet (row 423 ...) I now could find a completely neglected and forgotten section...
It was the user to be blamed...

Using and relying on aliases heavily since the start with spreadsheets, I did not encounter a serious problem with them yet.
Thanks for your valuable replies!

Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
I see, thank you!
When I have got more than a handful of values in a spreadsheet, I personally would not want to dispense with aliases, as long as the technical functionality is given.
Until now, I only can recommmend them - they are great helpers IMO.

Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
Could someone kindly help out?
I am at correcting some errors now in the dependencies / spreadsheets, which control the sketches and object-offsets.
Regarding the 'Insertion part', FC says 1DOFs, and I could not find it. Also have tried 'wiggling' -without success.
Please disregard everything else for the moment.

Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
When you have 5 times the same dimension, it's a problem : You must try to use geometrical constraints before dimensional constraints.
If you cannot manage with this sketch, try more simple sketches : 1 for the global form, 1 for the details.
Sometimes, it's better to redo everything from scratch for a better solution.

For a beginner, to follow the KISS-principle is not so easy - even if I am very fond of it...Shalmeneser wrote: ↑Tue Jun 06, 2023 11:24 am... If you cannot manage with this sketch, try more simple sketches : 1 for the global form, 1 for the details.

Anyway, I now understand most of what is said and it helps greatly!
Having two sketches, how could you avoid the 'multiple solids' error when padding both? (Was not able to understand this from your sample )
Redoing from scratch most, if not all, is for a future work - if I find the time..

Re: Developing a spreadsheet based loaf pan
The 2 sketches need to create solids in contact :
* sketches here are tangent
* padding is in the same direction
* linearPattern is along the side of the 1st sketch
caveat : this LinearPattern will need to be inside a PartDesign_MultiTransform with its own PartDesign_Mirrored.

To add to this: A single point of touching is not enough.

A single line neither.
