There are very good resources for coins outside of feeecad, Google for inventor mentor. It explains all the principles and has lot of examples. C++, but they are basically 1:1 translatable to python. As for a shape: you need to get the tesselation of the shape from its build in function "tesselate" ...

When stoping the python console during debugging you also block all UI updates and freeze it. Could be that the following after the print statement works, but I did not test:

issue #0004534
I think this bug should be solved before 0.19 release. It is rather fundamental, and If the extension framework is wider adopted it gets harder and harder to solve this.

Here a pull request as basis for discussion, which implements Solution 2 with full API incompatibility: Remove ExtensionProxy and drop the argument from "addExtension"

Hello, I've noticed a flawed implementation in the current Extension code (written and messed up by myself :oops: ). The problem comes from the python side of things. I've made a bug report 4534 and here is the detailed description: Adding a python extension creates the ExtensionProxy property, whic...

I agree that Add/Sub could be merged. As a little side note: When setting up the Part Design workbench there was a poll in the user base for exactly this question. The majority of users prefered the seperated tools over unified tools, even though it was close: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic...

I think a standalone tool is the way to go, it would be super nice! So here is what I would like to have for my work: A single tool for all measurements, which can stay open and is dockable (not blocking the edit workflow by using the task view) Results are shown in the tool, not in the tree Showing...

That looks sweet! I like the idea of smaller tools for special purpose instead of huge tools with a million options. One proposal: it seems to be a specialisation of the pipe tools, and also most likely not one of the most used ones. Maybe it makes sense to add it in drop-down menu with the pipe too...

Please keep in mind that DXF does not support units in all versions of its specificstion. Last time I checked two years ago feeecad exported a version that does not support units. That means DXF export was perfectly fine, and the problem was always on importer side, which just assumed units without ...

It's quite nice that multibody is working in PartDesign, I think that can benefit the workflow in multiple cases. However, I like to raise a question about the UI. The little colored flags are very visible in the Tree, and take up a huge space there per feature. IMHO the multipart capability is a li...
