For the record, I'm not pushing FreeCAD in any way, I have no dog in this fight, I'm just a happy user.
But moving a hole should really be the easiest thing. A hole is usually a cylinder that has been cut from another shape. Select the cylinder, change its position, done? (No need to make it visible for that).
- jstanley 6y agoYou're describing the Part workflow. In Part Design you would move the hole by opening the sketch that defines the circle and changing the position of the circle.
- polack 6y agoYes, this is how I usually do it and it's not uncommon that it becomes an issue when moving the circle. To be fair there is usually a fillet or something connected to the hole, but I still don't see why that should be a problem.
- jstanley 6y agoMoving the circle doesn't usually present a problem. Adding new circles presents a problem because then you get different internal names for the edges and the fillet gets attached to the wrong place. Moving the circle can create a problem if, for example, you specified a 5mm fillet but now the circle is only 3mm from the edge and therefore the fillet doesn't fit.
