Any links to triplus's code? I'll take a look.

Re: Assembly3 preview

Currently, the main advantage of Draft Array over PartDesign transformation features is speed of execution. PD transformation features are unbearably slow for complex transformations... I wrote a ticket about it. 3600 Most likely because PD transformation does fusion for each transformed instance o...

Re: Assembly3 preview

to be honest, I'm not convinced by that extension. Why add a limited Python-ish extension to a simple mathematics formula evaluation, when you can have full Python already by other means ? This is too close to the MS Word-style macros, where a simple document can corrupt your entire computer. A doc...

Re: Assembly3 preview

I hate housekeeping after macros that probably should be incorporated features in any application. This is one of the types of features I myself expect out of an "Assembly Workbench". I agree. You'll face 2 problems: how to represent the information ? Where to store it ? How do you deal w...

And could such bridge hold the weight of a feature like Draft Line?
Can't say for sure. But I'll give it a try once I got time.

Re: Assembly3 preview

Well, this was more of a general type of question, not only related to Draft Array. Therefore yes, lets say Draft Array is needed. How hard would it be, to achieve something like that? It will not be that hard to modify Draft Array code to be used inside PartDesign. On the other hand, it is not str...

Re: Assembly3 preview

I didn't read the discussion in the past two weeks and will do that latter. I do have one question @realthunder. You lifted a single solid rule for Body in Assembly 3 branch. How far away are we now from being able to add Draft Array in Body? Is Draft array need? Aren't we have mirror/polar/linear/...

Re: How to duplicate ShapeBinder?

I added a new type of binder called SubShapeBinder to support binding object from another document, and proper handling of relative placement. It's in the PartDesign toolbar just beside the original ShapeBinder. In addition, not directly related to your case here, but you might want to check out thi...

Re: Assembly3 preview

Where is the repo i should look at to start a build that includes this bug fix? It is not the asm3 repo, but my fork of FC here . The next release may be month away, as I am caught by my work at the moment. Let me know if you have any trouble building it (which is the same as the upstream). I can m...
