Debugging add-on python code in Eclipse and FreeCAD sametime

I want to debug a python module on Eclipse or any other external IDE and at the same observe output in FreeCADGui. It seems feasible by running FreeCADGui.showMainWindow() from external python console. Once showMainWindow command is executed from python on Linux shell, it seems there is no differenc...

Thanks for your reply. Your work is worth hundred of thousands of dollars and we have already crossed one decade mark, so hopeful of seeing a state of art solver some day. :)

Re: Assembly 2 workbench for FreeCAD v0.15

Yay... FreeCAD assembly solver is going to be one hell of modern solvers.. 8-) Ickby, is there some specific approach(documented somewhere?) that you are following or are you creatively building your own algorithm on the go? Is your latest code solving cyclic constraints robustly? Basically, my appl...
