Help with exruding from one to another point on a sketch (lemmy.ml)

submitted 9 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

In other cad programs i use two points of a sketch to extrude a feature. In freecad it does not seem to be possible. What are your recommended workarounds for that?

I would like to extrude the base not just from the face of the sketch, but from point 1 to point 2 on the side view sketch. This workflow proved very robust in other cad tools, but I cant get it work in freecad.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for the tip, never heard of Ondsel, but will check it out tomorrow!

Ondsel doesn’t fully implement the RT toponaming fix, but their employees (generally hired from the existing volunteer devs) are among those pushing to get it into Mainline FreeCAD, as Ondsel is barely a fork for now and very heavily reliant on the 0.22 beta.

Also, for your specific question, I think the main FreeCAD forum is still your best bet for a practical answer.
