A neat variation is to use the part info table from the A2+ workbench. If you put the parameters in this spreadsheet you can also calculate the price of the item depending on the length and if you use it multiple times in an assembly the costs are automatically calculated.

In lockdown i made a fastener DB for every fastener / nut / washer / circlip / pin that i've every used and many hundreds of newer head styles so far not used. Each has a unique load point and not matter what orientation or assembly heirachical position it can singularly or assembly or globally be replaced with any other. So guys it's really worth the effort. I use DSM not FreeCAD, but non the less, the utility of a fastener DB is fantastic ! I bother doing this so that my parts list always has correct specs and quantities, plus using the 'find', items can be found and replaced just in a couple of clicks.

You can use imperial units in a spreadsheet if you specify the unit (E.g. 1in or 1"). What's a bit weird is that if your display units are set to metric, the cell will display the metric equivalent, in the same way that a cell containing an equation will show the result of the equation.

Know this is a couple years old but for new people watching this just make a library of the parts you need like shown here then use one of the assembly workbenches to put together what you need. They allow you to import the same part multiple times just like you would have multiple copies in the real world. I've just been putting together something that has 24 pieces in it but only has 5 different part bodies. Each one can rotated and moved around as needed to assemble.

At about 9:00 you you said do a "Save As" so I assume you will then have a folder into which you are putting your angle iron parts and type a file name that is descriptive of the principle variables of the part at the time you saved it. Could you elaborate on your "Save As" process. Beginners need even this help. We are all beginners at one time.

That part is up to the user on what is important to them. I might save my parts as thickness, length, height for example 0.25"x36"x2" and then the next one might be 0.25" x 36" x 3" and the next 0.25" x 36" x 4" and then save as some other metric like thickness 0.125" x 36" x 2" then 0.125" x 36" x 3" and so on. Whatever the user needs from this part family was my approach.

Depending on the version, it is probably 'I' for vertical and 'L' for horizontal. Older versions use 'v' for vertical and ''h' for horizontal, which I think is immensely better since you can run them from the left hand.

A good and interesting film. I have a question. Can you save the spreadsheet file time to time to open the file of the main drawing. As I understand spreadsheet file every time open separately to dimensions opened. What will change as a spreadsheet file name. It's about accepting, for example, a link to the sketch.

FreeCAD 0.19 will force you to use units, or spits and error, when trying to use the number in a constrain. Thickness alias did not work, as the name in spreadsheet already was thickness.

04:25 - Where did you define that the value in B2 was in inches ? It presently appear as just a value. Shouldn't this value be interpreted as just that ? A value in mm ? Since mm is FreeCAD default ? How come FreeCAD converted that value back to mm ? I tried to reproduce this unit problem, didn't work. FreeCAD utilized the raw value in mm. Of course if I wanted inches then I could use a formula to calculate it but in your case FreeCAD automatically converted your inch value into mm, Why, is the question ?
@michaelcummings7246
Жыл бұрын
He made another column and added formula to it to do conversion. So C3 has '=B2 * 25.4' which does inches to mm then he uses value from that column in his parts. He showed and said it and did it very fast and it was hard to follow.
