Re: Created NEW Macro : MultiCopy

That looks like a nice tool. I don't have time to try it out, but soon. Question; If I select a Part container that holds multiple levels of part containers/bodies will it duplicate? Thanks for your work. Thank you, freedman ! :) If you want to copy an object with dependencies, choose the Standard ...

Created NEW Macro : MultiCopy

I just created a new FreeCAD Macro, titled MultiCopy . https://wiki.freecadweb.org/images/7/75/MultiCopy-reduced.png Macro MultiCopy Wiki Page Description : MultiCopy allows the duplication (copy and paste) of multiple FreeCAD objects that can be labelled sequentially and in a custom manner. What it...

Re: Resources directory/folder for FC Macros?

The usual way to use temporary data is to use Python's tempfile module. . . . Can you please clarify your point of view? Thanks. Gaël Oh, thank you, Gaël , for notifying me about the tempfile module. It's not a personal idea; just a thought. Because most software follow a sort of convention with re...

Re: Resources directory/folder for FC Macros?

Oh! No, I meant the external structure of organising the file and folders within the Macro directory; you know, like a convention or a system.

Re: GitPython not installed! Cannot retrieve macros from git

Perhaps a bit of definition confusion, but the download is automatic for me. As soon as I enter the "Addon manager" the addon list automatically updates. I do not have GitPython on my computer. Perhaps you mean automatically updating everything in the background without any user interacti...

Re: Articles about geometry, surfaces, solids (and topology)

110,000 points for that small and simple an object seems unnecessary. It could be because you're meshing an STL file. An STL is a mesh in itself, don't you think? It's a tessellated object (with multiple faces beforehand), and then when you do a Mesh, you re-tessellate it (add more multiple faces to...

Re: GitPython not installed! Cannot retrieve macros from git

The way yorik designed the addon manager, ... Oh, that makes sense. But, auto-downnload? Don't you mean manual download? Also, you don't necessarily need GitPython to automatically download the folders. Surely there exists a set of python commands that'd download the raw Github content and save the...

Thank you, Carlo D. What macro command are you talking about?
If you're talking about FreeCAD not downloading the macro directories, then check out this discussion.

Re: GitPython not installed! Cannot retrieve macros from git

New to Ubuntu and pretty uncertain about where files go when installing apps from Terminal but I get the same gitpython not installed error when trying to install a macro. Reinstalling gitpython results in: ... which I take to mean gitpython is installed. Is there a way to point FreeCAD to the gitp...
