@sliptonic: have you seen my proposal for this issue? https://github.com/machste/FreeCAD/commit/4cdabc3cac4d844856d4fefe6eb7bcd7d406dca5 If you like I could do a pull request. @herbk: A question about at general: Is there a reason at all to keep it? I'd rather keep it. Especially, in cases where a p...

Hi everyone, as herbk stated that it works for him, I briefly tested it with the latest FreeCAD version, however, the Simple Copy feature still fails with the very same exception. 08:56:16 Running the Python command 'Path_SimpleCopy' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Ste...

Yes, of course!

Hi everybody, I encountered a problem whilst creating a simple copy of one of my paths. As described in the Wiki, I selected the path I intended to copy and pressed the Simple Copy button. Unfortunately, this resulted in the following exception: Running the Python command 'Path_SimpleCopy' failed: T...

Hi Chris, that's a good idea. I just tried it with the result that FreeCAD still raises the same exception at the same place and thus the template couldn't be loaded. The 'user.cfg' has been created by FreeCAD as expected. However, I couldn't find the path in question in the config file. So it must ...

Hi Gene, well, I just had a look at the 'user.cfg' file. Basically, all paths except the 'MacroPath' use UNIX style paths with forward slashes. Thanks to the Python interpreter this works. However, I've never edited the 'user.cfg' file with a text editor. So, FreeCAD must have put the wrongly format...

Hi everybody, I have the same problem on Windows 10, in my opinion, it has something to do with the default path of the templates. On Windows systems the templates are saved under: C: \U sers\Name\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Macro The '\U' part in the path causes the exception: ("(unicode error) 'u...

Hi jbraun, well, that's in line with the experience I had with the pocket operation. Unlike you, I made the slot a little wider. The downside with the pocket operation, though, is that the milling bit moves forwards and backwards through the material. By the way, I don't know this ****360, I'm "...

Hi everybody, as I mentioned in an earlier post I played a bit with the slot operation in order to generate a path for an ordinary slot made by the slot tool in the sketcher. I improved my original FreeCAD example and added another slot, see PathWB-Slot-v2.FCStd. * Selecting the two walls of the slo...

Hi jbraun,

that's a smart workaround. Thank you for bringing this up. I can imagine using this for compatibility reasons as well.

On the other hand, if there is a tool designated to make slots, it should be possible to use it accordingly.
