FreeCAD

Just doesn't live up to expectations. Entering an alias always feels like a double chore, even with the macro.

When I want to add a hole feature, I need to first sketch and constrain a circle where the hole is supposed to be. This would make a bit more sense if the hole actually followed the constraints of the circle, but it doesn't -- I could constrain the sketch of the circle to be one radius, and then, at the same time, specify that the hole be a completely different radius. I feel like it would make much more sense if the hole actually followed the dimensions of the sketch of the circle. If the sketch is just used for the placement of the hole, then it should be enough to simply place a point (which does not currently work -- I must sketch a circle).

Edit 1: It looks like there is an open issue for this on GitHub.

I have the following:

I want the center rectangle to be concentric with the outer rectangle (the separation of each edge should be equal). What's the best way to do this?

Hi there, i just stumbled across the whole fediverse thing with lemmy, because of the reddit incident. i heard of mastodon before but that's about it, but i love the idea of fediverse. i also love FreeCAD even if it can be tricky sometimes. are any of you guys still active here?
