Your install is probably fine but I thought I'd pass it on anyway ...

The reason I happen to know about this is ... wait for it ... I installed Linux Mint to one of my machines in late February and yes, it was the infected version. Interesting in that I installed the 32 bit version to a laptop and the 64 bit version to a desktop on the same day. The 32 bit version was fine but the 64 bit version was infected. I learned about the issue when I did a software update of the 64 bit version. The updater said "it is infected" and would not proceed. I wiped the drive and reinstalled and all is well.

Arvid,

Thanks for that. I did see it and made sure I checked the checksums on the files. So far, all is good. I sure do like it better than Windoze. I'm sick of being harassed about updating to Windoze 10.

Just went to Tools | Save Picture. Gave it a filename, clicked Save and it looked like it worked. Nothing was saved.

Interesting... the .xsession-errors file says it was a null image. Wonder if that's also why it won't save a pdf or print. More digging to do...

So I have all of these parts drawn up in 3D but now I don't know what to do with them?  

I need to get them onto a sheet with dimensions. More digging necessary I guess.

Yes.

I looked on the freecad forum and it seems others have had the same problem. Many have just used the screen shot that comes with the OS.

Tonight I learned how to make external threads.

Very nice Ed. I've been mucking around a bit with Onshape but it takes me more tries to get a drawing right than when I'm actually making a part, and that is saying something.
Now I want to know what tool you're going to use to get the end of the keyway square like the drawing.

More like I need to figure out how to get that end rounded in the drawing so it'll match the end mill I'll be using to cut the key-way.
