ok, now i'm back to where i was previously. good. i built the same 2 parts, 3 instances assembly as before, edited the LCS sketch, got the live update. i deleted the linked parts, the corresponding constraints are still in the folder. is there a some kind of "OnDelete()" available to deal with this?...

InitGui.py: i switched the contents of Activated and Initialize (by simply changing the function name in the definition). the workbench now loads. on my machine at least, you cannot pass on Initialize. you can pass on Activated. def Activated(self): #self.appendMenu(["&Edit","DynamicData"],self.list...

doesn't seem to want to load the workbench

'module' object has no attribute 'PrintWarning'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 47, in Initialize

this one is pretty baffling. 'PrintWarning' dosen't seem to exist anywhere in your files

after looking through a little bit more, i figure your style would probably be more like line 42 self.activeDoc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument line 109 def getAllParts(self): and line 113 if doc != self.activeDoc: still looking for the actual problem. i haven't played with the custom windows before, so th...

activeDoc is defined at line 42, part of def Activated(self) so it is local to Activated() then you call it at line 113, as part of def getAllParts(self) getAllParts() is itself called within Activated(), AFTER you declare activeDoc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument, BUT you changed function level! and you d...

just got to the same point, made new files, new "Models", copied over my existing geometry, tried a new assembly and same problem, empty gui window "Create link 2 a Model" drawing UI Running the Python command 'insertLinkCmd' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Edward Mills\App...

nope, windows build you provide. but i should have a new laptop for linux in a few days. then i'll try to compile it.

thanks

The error message happens when some python code wants to retrieve geometry shape

that was my guess too, but the error doesn't tell me where to look. selection, subelements, etc?

It will be easier to identify the problem if you can send me the file i could have sworn i had attached the file to my post. here it is. here is the workbench that creates these objects https://github.com/edwardvmills/Silk available from addon manager. i'm trying to make it compatible with Asm3 as ...

Collinarity of a couple of normals is a sufficient but not a necessary condition for linear dependence. absolutely. but i'm just suggesting using simple reliable heuristic, NOT a complete mathematical solutions. this could to improve solver reliability on real hardware now, as opposed to on paper. ...
