Tutorial: Custom Toolbars
When you use any tool for a while you often build a more personal connection to it. Perhaps you have that old screwdriver in a drawer that’s become polished with years of use and fits your hand perfectly.In this tutorial we'll look at modifying existing toolbars and creating our own custom toolbars to personalise our #FreeCAD experience.

Today in #FreeCAD practice news, we have good news and bad news.

The good news? I have now learned how to use saved measurements (using the Measurement) tool in Part Design sketch constraints. This is really handy, especially since Measurement measurements can give you three-axis deltas, and you can access all three separately.

The bad news? I have found a new failure mode in the Assembly workbench. Somehow, for some reason, I couldn't add a newly-made Part Design part to an existing assembly.

Hm, in #FreeCAD I can successfully apply a linear pattern to a protrusion I have added to an object if I select the pad and configure it.

But is there any way to do a linear pattern including fillets?

Attached image is what I can manage to do by selecting the pad, but if I select the fillet it doesn't work.

I've tried searching web and utoob, no luck yet.

SOLUTION: So... I badly assumed that I just needed to select the Fillet, like just selecting the Pad. But in fact you need to multi-select both (in this case one Pad then two Fillets) then apply the Linear Pattern. Hey presto! It worked :) [Thanks to the folks who replied to point me in the right direction.]

Weather has been rather splendid in the west of England this weekend, got a few good rides on the bicycle.
That did spot a few niggles - some poorly fitting mudgards that have always been wobbling and sometimes rubbing, the ping bell was designed for handlebars wider than mine and was wobbling, and the suspension forks top cap was missing.
A bit of TPU filament, a Prusa i3, and @FreeCAD and the bike is ready for far more adventures and less wobbles.

Current #FreeCAD status: Maybe I'm making a home for very large bees?

It's a bit mad that just this sketch makes FreeCAD on my 64GB RAM and 4-core CPU desktop absolutely chug! :-| (It's not the fanciest latest CPU, just a 3.8GHz Core i3, but still...)
