Today, I'm picking up where I left off last time. I spent a good bit of time learning about FreeCAD's parametric dimensioning system using internal spreadsheets and links. With that, I can mock up some general parts with rough dimensions that I can adjust later as needed by changing the dimensions in the local part spreadsheet file. In fact, I need to look at if there is a local BOM system in FreeCAD, otherwise, I may see if I can integrate a parts-list into my parametrics spreadsheet-making Macro.
We are having a meeting later today, so I want to have a few things prepared for that. I'll start by working on the pressure vessel CAD file, then address the remaining BOM items as they are sourced.
