The other thing to perhaps put on the very long list is a double-envoloping worm and wheel, where the worm is shaped like an hourglass. yes that would be a nice addition, but it's not easy... lets first start with the pinion-gear. here is an image of the cross section of a worm: Bildschirmfoto 2023...

Is it this what you want?


here is my attempt, but I clearly failed haha: would be nice to find a way to construct this and add it to freecad.gears.

From a practical point of view the Conda community update policy is unknown to me, maybe @adrianinsaval or @looo could advise. I guess conda-forge simple do not have the resources for keeping qt-packages uptdatet. 1. for qtwebengine the azure build services are not sufficient and time out, so qtweb...

but I guess this is more related to qwebengine, right?

Talking about addon manager - am I correct in thinking that you cannot have different addons for link branch and main branch? They both share the same location? (not a problem, just curiosity :) again) I am not an expert on the add-on-manager, not sure if you can set the location where the addonman...

ok the question is: why calling workbenches freecad.<wokbench_name>? I found this naming convention very convenient: freecad.gears is a namespace module. This means it extends the freecad namespace. So in python you import the freecad relevant stuff via: from freecad import gears or: import freecad....

both methods in mesh-design wb are approximations based on meshes. To get a exact unwrapped surface you can should use the macro (At least I guess it can unwrap exactly)

super, thanks worked.

I just tried some old code with freecad + py311 and see the following error-report. __get_state__ and __set_state__ is implemented for the view provider. Does anyone know what has changed? 17:42:38 is unchecked 17:50:00 PropertyPythonObject::toString(): failed for <class 'freecad.freecad_glider.tool...

yes soqt is not needed for pivy compilation, also freecad has no dependency on soqt. Afaik freecad has included its own version of quarter.
