Re: Assembly3 preview

That will require yet another container for each part added to the assembly, further complicate the hierarchy, especially if there are nested assemblies. How would you like to be able to expand the element item of the constraint to reveal its owner part? Will that make the relationship easier to se...

Re: Assembly3 preview

It just occurred to me that I forgot to mention an easy solution that is working in my current release. Select any assembly you want to export to TechDraw, change the property 'BuildShape' to 'Compound'. That's it. Now the assembly will dynamically build a compound shape very time it is recomputed....

Re: Assembly3 preview

This sounds like a bug. It would be better if you can post a file to demonstrate the problem. And maybe some screencast to show your steps. I will try to test it more and give some feedback. You have probably noticed, that in the meanwhile user jpg87 experienced the very same thing... 2. Positionin...

Re: Scripting Sketcher and Spreadsheet

Thanks for add in that to the wiki. Can you put it in a code box and also comment it explaining what each line does? Sure I can, I'll do that. I was confused by a missing panel and no mentioning of code blocks in the basic wiki help page for a moment, but then I saw code blocks elsewhere and though...

Re: Scripting Sketcher and Spreadsheet

Thanks for both answers, that set me back on track, the spreadsheet did work. The Sketcher analogy dindn't, but I was able to locate this fraction of a code in sourcecodes in Hexagon.py and it works this way: sketch = App.ActiveDocument.addObject("Sketcher::SketchObject") Hopefully this wi...

Re: FEM documentation missing on the Wiki

How it goes: - the file https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob/master/src/Mod/Fem/Gui/Workbench.cpp defines the FEM commands. They start with FEM_XXXX - any of the commands there should have a wiki page with exact the same name as the command - The links to these pages are created in a template. S...
