Update Heekscad to 1.1.0
The more i dig in its gcode/path generation functions , the more I like it.
Note: I am only an "online"-self-educated machinist ..


See first post.

Freecad team merge the CAM module in their master branch .
Available for testing with basic functions . Generating gcode from one package is a plus.
Keep in mind ,no stable release here ,back it up often .

See first post(edited many times..and more to come...as I try to keep it as a "main" details/ news/personal memo resources)

Hi revolverve,

Does free cad do 3d object assembly animation?

I have used a software years ago named Ideas on windows.
It could do assembly animations and also working animations to check for defects.
Ideas was bought by Solidedge and discontinued.
Now for years I have not worked in designing field.
Just want to do some off time work.

Thanks.

Hi drunkjedi

I did saw 3d mechanical animation from freecad.
I only design 3d parts for cnc machining ,hope for improvement of the cam module and in no need yet to assemble complex parts. I only scratch the surface of freecad full potential ...
your best bet would be FreeCad forums\tutorials.
Note :
- every modules found on ubuntu daily dev+assembly is included here...much more than I need!
-mid-off-topic,installation of freecad stable+dependencies should be possible from package management,for those who dont see the benefits of using sfs and/or dev version.

No worries friend.
I have downloaded the sfs.
I will see what can I do, when I get home from work.
I prefer sfs than pets or debs.

Thanks.

Cheers drunkjedi !

look like you need python skill...and VRML

Have fun learning with a cold Corellian Ale!

Thanks revolverve, I found some tutorials too. Thanks.

The sfs is working great.

Uploaded freecad-daily 0.17 alpha1....see first post
Latest Hamish assembly2 included but possibly you will need to extract from sfs and create/copy it to root/ .Freecad/Mod if needed.
Look like Freecad-dev is now Freecad-daily .

New Freecad-daily 017 updated,same for heekscad 110 +new-64bit heeks.

....see first post

Reuploaded heekscad 1.1.0 64bit sfs fix with missing libboost libs ...as all those here,tested on Tahrpup 32-64bits only

iF you test freecad alpha 0.17 ,dont read beta,stable or release....
note from devs:
http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=16506

I'am so happy that finally I got some Freecad to work.
tried out several things, without luck, untill I found this thread.

But now that I have Freecad running, I have to learn to use it.
And uhm I got stuck at lesson number 4 allready.

Reading from the above post I learnt that I should use version number 16 instead of 17.

However, The download links for the 32 bits version 16 and dev's have been removed somehow.

I really hope that they have not been thrown into the bin.

Is there a possebillity to post some link to a 32 bit version 16 sfs?

Thanks in advance. Rik.

Rik,
Freecad-dev 0.16 need 4_51_freecad-dev0.16deps_only_6.0.2.sfs,it never got a specific link to it,an "everything" link under download in freecad-dev folder is the place to look for it .
There it is:
4_51_freecad-dev0.16deps_only_6.0.2.sfs

I did not tried lately but you should be able to install the stable 0.16 version from https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintain ... cad-stable and find missing dependencies thru "check dependencies intalled pkg" ,if it failed to find it all missing deps, run freecad from terminal and sort it out "manually".You should also be able install the above deps.sfs and install stable freecad0.16 as "standard" pkg(not in an sfs) or feel free to pack a stable freecad 0.16 sfs out of it and share that stability!

Ok thanks for the effort.
I really appreciate it.

Unfortunately I am missing the skills to get a Freecad 16.
This starts already with adding a Ubuntu repository to the packagemanager in PuppyTahr.
I got a page called usr/local/petget/README-add-repo.htm full of information of wich I can not beak any bread.

I downloaded a Freecad 16 tar.gz from your lounchepad.net, and than cmake tells me that I do not have Python installed.
However Python is installed.

Ive been this way before.
Missing libraries, wich are not missing, or finally found, and then new missing libraries appear.
It takes me days and days and days, and always I nearly succeed.
(ruining my system in the process)

But nearly is as good as not.
I am just missing the skills.
Sorrie.

I guess I have to stick with 17

EDIT:
I found youtube tutorials for 0.17 in Español,
Since I understand Spanish as much (or less) as English, its good enough.

Thanks anyway.

Rik.

Just packed and uploaded a 32 bit sfs of freecad 0.16 stable,without doc(77mb)

Link in first post

Yes, perfectly.
It works out of the box.
I can now continue my lessens and construct my castle in the sky.

It shouts an error on the console though.
Which 0.17 doesn't do: But I cannot see no problem happening on the Freecad screen, so I don't mind.

Thanks
Rik.

Is there also the Version 0.17.sfs ?
