FreeCAD<p>Tutorial: Custom Toolbars<br>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 <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> experience. <br><a href="https://blog.freecad.org/2025/03/14/tutorial-custom-toolbars/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">blog.freecad.org/2025/03/14/tu</span><span class="invisible">torial-custom-toolbars/</span></a><br><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Tutorials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tutorials</span></a></p>

Koz Ross<p>Today in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> practice news, we have good news and bad news.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p>
smellsofbikes<p>Well this is looking somewhat promising. I think I can put the kinematic mount in a housing and center the probe tip in the lathe, then bore a hole in the housing that's colinear so the result is accurate.<br>Designed in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freecad</span></a></p>
Yvan<p>Hm, in <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> I can successfully apply a linear pattern to a protrusion I have added to an object if I select the pad and configure it.</p><p>But is there any way to do a linear pattern including fillets?</p><p>Attached image is what I can manage to do by selecting the pad, but if I select the fillet it doesn't work.</p><p>I've tried searching web and utoob, no luck yet.</p><p>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.]</p>
