Re: FreeCAD and Manjaro FYI

This issue is relevant. It seems that the problem is with PySide2 not working well with Python 3.10. And it is unclear if there is going to be a fix.

Re: Embedding KTextEditor in FreeCAD

The last couple weeks I have been using KTextEditor as my default text editor in FreeCAD to try to caught as many problems as possible. And I have found several problems that make it annoying to use KTextEditor. The most annoying problems are related to shortcuts being ambiguous. The ambiguous short...

No, you only can use ktexteditor from my fork (in the branch "KTextEditor"). Yesterday I did a rebase so the code in my branch is pretty close to the oficial master branch of FreeCAD.

Re: [challenge] fully parametric planetary gear system

I made a workbench with a command that creates a parametric planetary gear system based on my previous macro. So the number of planets and their positions can be updated by just changing the settings in a featurepython object. The planetary gearset made with this command is similar to an assembly fr...

Re: [challenge] fully parametric planetary gear system

I went further on getting expressions to arrange gears better. These expressions now account for sun and planets of different sizes. And I created a script that generates a planetary gearset given the number of teeth of the sun and ring gear (it calculates the number of teeth of the planets). Here i...

Re: [challenge] fully parametric planetary gear system

I think Assembly4 with attachment offsets and the expression engine is a good way to create a fully parametric planetary gearset. Here is a video showing an animation of a planetary gearset. It is almost fully parametric, you can choose different planet and ring gear sizes and it will automatically ...

Re: How about a new "Command" addon type ?

Do you know if it's possible to do this with a custom command that would eg. be contained in a Python file? Or is it limited to existing commands? It is almost possible to use a custom command from a single file, but I think you need to add the command from a python module. For example, you could c...

Re: How about a new "Command" addon type ?

There is a way to create commands from macros using the interface customization dialog . Then they can be added to any workbench, though the toolbars from the workbenches that come with FreeCAD cannot be modified. In order to add custom macros to the workbenches that come with FreeCAD it is needed t...

Re: Embedding KTextEditor in FreeCAD

Hello, I just pushed a new commit that adds support to execute macro scripts when they are being edited with KTextEditor.
