Part-o-magic [New: Selection tools, container duplication]

[triplus]

I actually use something like that occasionally (in form of macro). I could therefore use Exporter in the future instead.

I did some tests and i guess i could use more Exporter features instead. But if you could provide an option to somehow set more extensions for a single Exporter feature that would be cool.

You mean you want one exporter object to export two different formats at once, e.g. "Export Sphere" to write out Sphere.step and Sphere.stl? Not sure if I'd go for it, as I don't see a nice way to do that (well, I mean, nice yet easy to implement).

To be honest i can add more Exporter features and set them up with ease to do that. Therefore lets keep things simple indeed.

Request

Hi DeepSOIC,

Could you please provide your wb for/in the "Addon manager" (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=20091).
Would make it much easier to install/use it.

BR,
HoWil

Sure, when I have time to write up a readme.

Good point . Still not sure if I understand the complete concept/usecase, but looking forward to test it. Especially for structuring my half-part-design-next half-part models.

BR,
HoWil

Important. Part-o-magic messes with "DisplayModeBody" properties of PartDesign Body objects, and "Selectable" properties of all objects. If you uninstall Part-o-magic, or disable its automation stuff, it will cause somewhat unusual behavior of any projects that were saved with part-o-magic enabled and had any container objects present. You can reset them manually with property editor, or run this simple snippet in Py console:

Hi !
Is this the reason why I have lots of problem with boolean operation while PoM is installed?
even without using it, I'm unable to make a boolean between bodies if Pom Is installed.

Is it PartDesign Booleans, or Part Booleans? If latter, please elaborate.

That's Part design boolean, and indeed, I just test, and the property "selectable" was set to false after activating the body.
I also notice that if PoM is here, if you activate a body, the others are hided. Again, without any feature from PoM

Yes, I just tried it, and PartDesign Boolean dialog is very seriously affected by PoM. Not sure if I can solve this.
