Linkages

I did search the forums and Google, but did not get any concrete results. Some of them were quite old so presumably to not apply any more.

Is there any way of developing four bar (or greater) linkages in FreeCAD at the moment?

I would prefer not to have to code anything in Python, but if that's the only way I'm willing to give it a go.

Hello.

If you are aiming at animation maybe the macro Animated Constraint is a good start ?

Or the Animation Workbench ?

They are both excellent starting places, so thanks a lot for that. It looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me :D
