Roy: Thank you.
As I indicated in my original post, I tried DMMOVE with the 'Enable selection of 3D solid faces' icon clicked and that didn't work. I read DMMOVE was supposed to do what I wanted.
So, I now surmise that that icon and the CTRL key …
Interesting approach. I hadn't thought about using that slab as a subtraction entity.
The primitive CAD app I used for 15 years, CYCAS, has a move point facility that can do it in just one command. It's disappointing that something as sophisticated…

Keeping Ubuntu 18.04 up to date with patches is as easy as executing this script as root:
!/bin/bash
returnCode=1
while [ ${returnCode} -ne 0 ]; do
apt update
returnCode=$?
echo ${returnCode}
done
returnCode=1
while [ ${r…
It's obvious that you started this discussion because you want more control over where and how your app is executed. Equally obvious is that the most control you're going to get is to eliminate as much middleware and random uncontrollable O/S intera…
Appimage has stolen the old JAVA canard of write once run everywhere. It was BS then and is BS now. Performance always takes a hit when you go through an abstraction layer.
Flatpak has security issues and was developed by Redhat now owned by IBM. I…
I get rid of all snap default software and install the normal equivalents. Just trying to get the calculator up under snap takes Waayyy too long.
I don't have an SSD in my box. If I did, I might not object to snap as much because it would presumabl…
I'm on 18.04 and patch the O/S weekly.
Can you not statically link your executable so that it won't look for local libraries?
i.e. build on 18.04 and statically link in 18.04 libraries so when run on an older system it will use the 18.04 code that…
I'd bet that an IP analysis of the spam source would show that prudent use of firewall rules to nuke all traffic from certain IP's would clean this up a lot.
That along with using a challenge / response mechanism would eliminate 99.9% of spam.

During the current SPAM storm, could the Subject line be changed to eliminate irrelevant information and display the necessary component only?
Everything up to the colon on the current Subject line is mostly useless information and is the portion o…
Anthony:
Where exactly do you see this Ask Support button? I used my normal route to file a bug report and along the way did Ctrl-F searches for the word 'ask' and never got a hit. I suspect I'm ending up where's you're indicating, but via a diffe…
The tail end of the video URL I supplied provides exactly the steps you're alluding to and I tried them.
Sadly, I can't get the drag of the control to take. It simply won't do as the video suggests. What I end up with is a tiny cube on my screen wi…
I just purchased V19 for Linux and I don't have a Layer States where you apparently have yours.
When I tried creating the drop down as Ralph showed, dragging the control as the last step just doesn't work. I can do everything but drag the control t…
For anyone that may stumble across this thread.
I found a video reference in the 'Command Reference' after I looked up Layer States.

It explains the concept well and I got Layer States set up alm…
@'Hans De Backer'
I'm a new BricsCAD user with very limited CAD experience altogether, so I stumble through the product.
I am, however, a retired Professional Software Developer and think you would appreciate some constructive criticism. My backgr…
@Michael Mayer
Yes, it will display the thumbnails, but if you don't have BIM it won't insert the BIM images.
I now use the Components popup to get the thumbnails preview and then use Insert Block to hunt for the file.
Roy:
OK - I get it. When the UCS changed it destroyed the first points reference leaving only the second point which is where the line started.
I tried it without DUCS and it worked fine, so your educated guess was correct.
Thank You
Roy:
DUCS is on.
Help me understand - how does that affect getting to the mid point between 2 points? Those points are in 3D space regardless of how the UCS is set.
Also, I downloaded the screencast to my box from the web site and it plays on my …
Louis:
I never heard of 'Rigid Sets'. I'll have to educate myself on what that is and why someone would want to use it.
Apparently, the Move command ignores the constraints as it moves the front just fine and leaves the faucet alone. What confused…
Louis: As you're probably aware, I'm not competent enough with CAD to know a bug from a feature. That's why I post here, to slowly correct my ignorance.
So, I'm not going to initiate a bug report, but I'll add some observations here that you or oth…
Michael:
The file I brought into BricsCAD was Bricsys/BricsCAD/V19x64/en_US/Support/Bim/Components/Furnishing Elements/Kitchen Sink Single.dwg .
I'm no CAD guru, but all I see are standard 3D solids, no blocks. That's why I couldn't imagine how on…
Louis: Works as expected. Thank You.
You may want to consider putting the suggestion to use Insert as part of the error message I displayed, or better yet, without a BIM license, internally bring up Insert pre positioned at the BIM directory and …
Michael: There's more going on here than just weird scaling.
If you look carefully at my image, you'll note that at the very bottom left, you can see a properly scaled sink bottom, X, Y & Z. Above that bottom is the top rim and faucet in the o…
Louis:
I tried using one of the BIM drawings via Components / Standard Parts / ... / ... and got an error message:
Unable to recognize command "-BIMINSERT". This error can occur when the command is not supported for the active license.
So, th…
Louis:
Thank You for making me check that path on my box. To my surprise, it's there. I added that path in 'Settings' for COMPONENTSPATH and now I see all sorts of interesting things.
I didn't purchase BIM, so I didn't bother looking for a BIM lib…
