Naseef (Dec 03 2017 at 23:18):Wait...
Naseef (Dec 03 2017 at 23:20):That moment when you have your mged binary miles away from *.g file and you to have browse for the file with mged's open file dialog.
Naseef (Dec 03 2017 at 23:21):How can I set it to start in last opened directory?

xyz and XYZ spin the model in those directions. pressing zero 0 stops the spinning
Naseef (Dec 23 2017 at 18:09):Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Z slows it down and pressing it a few times stops it.
I have tendency to press Ctrl+Z all the time too!

pressing "0" stops it ;)
Sean (Dec 24 2017 at 18:58):if you want to work on a task that binds escape to that, people would love you ;)

Mahdi (Dec 25 2017 at 01:08):I'm curious as to what could have motivated someone to bind ctrl+z to "spin like a demon" action.
Daniel Rossberg (Dec 25 2017 at 07:15):ctrl+x is spinning around the x axis
ctrl+y is spinning around the y axis
ctrl+z is spinning around the z axis
ctrl+0 stops spinning
Sean (Dec 25 2017 at 07:17):ctrl is news to me... historically, it's x, y, z and X, Y, Z keys to spin around the x/y/z axes respectively in different directions (i.e., X goes one way, x goes the other). Pressing zero stops the spinning altogether.
Siddharth (Jan 01 2018 at 18:23):Hey Guys, Opening a .stl file in archer gives this error, How do I open my model? Capture.PNG
Lucas Prieels (Jan 02 2018 at 00:10):I've never used archer, but are you sure you can import a .stl file? Maybe you have to convert it to .g?
Siddharth (Jan 02 2018 at 07:17):I converted it to .g using the command line, it opens but doesn't show anything, it opens in other editorsdoubt.PNG
Siddharth (Jan 02 2018 at 07:18):Could anyone please help out
Mitesh (Jan 02 2018 at 09:49):you want to open it in archer or mged?
Siddharth (Jan 02 2018 at 11:03):Any
Mitesh (Jan 02 2018 at 11:59):upload screenshot of command line..maybe there would be some error

Siddharth (Jan 05 2018 at 10:45):Hey, I've coverted thestl to g successfully
Siddharth (Jan 05 2018 at 10:45):and even the dxf to g
Siddharth (Jan 05 2018 at 10:46):but when I try to extrude the dxf file that was converted into g
Siddharth (Jan 05 2018 at 10:46):It does not happen
Siddharth (Jan 05 2018 at 10:46):
Sean (Jan 05 2018 at 17:50):it's telling you why -- the sketch isn't valid for extrusion
Sean (Jan 05 2018 at 17:52):you can't extrude (or revolve) any arbitrary sketch -- for extrude, it has to be one that forms a closed loop, doesn't have t-junctions, isn't self-intersecting, etc
Sean (Jan 05 2018 at 17:52):some dxf are merely 2D lines and have no meaningful representation in 3D without more information (e.g., consider a big "+")
Siddharth (Jan 06 2018 at 05:07):Okay
