Select the object, set orientation in Placement / Axis / x,y,z
- m0zg 6y ago3D? Yes. 2D in a sketch? Nope. It's all parametric, everything has to be defined through constraints, and there's no way that I can see to define such a constraint.
- bambax 6y agoTo extrude a complex shape from 2D I usually first draw the 2D design elsewhere (Inkscape or Affinity Design) and import to FreeCAD as SVG. This works very well.
- bchanudet 6y agoEasiest way I've found is: - Create a square via the CreateSquare[0] icon - Put the lines as construction line - Constrain the holes to the corners of the square. - Add an angle constraint on one side of the square as you need. It's easier than constraining your holes on a rectangle on which you have to replace the horizontal and vertical constrains afterwards. And you get to keep all those parametric variables that make changing something afterwards so easy.
