Re: Licensing your macros
Wouldn't FreeCAD's license be more appropriate for a default?

Re: How to specify the axis of rotation of an object in the Part workbench
In MeshRemodel workbench there is a tool to rotate an object about the selected subobject. For example, select the edge of a cube, click the icon, and the object rotates about that selected edge. This function simply modifies the object's placement property to achieve the rotation. Snip macro screen...

It will give you the matching mesh end pieces, which can then be merged with the original in the Mesh workbench. After using Merge tool, run the analyze and repair mesh tool, removing duplicated points first, t...

Re: How to close a missing face of a shell object stp
If it's planar you should be able to select the edges and make a subshapebinder to get a face. Then select all faces and use the solid creation tool (green cube icon) in Curves workbench to make a solid.

Re: DynamicData workbench [1.6 update -- ViewObject property support]
There is an auto load workbench option in preferences, but I'm not sure how well that works for getting the dd toolbar on startup. Most of the time you only need the add new property and create new dd object commands, which the macro will give you. You can also disable the toolbar if you don't want ...

Re: DynamicData no faster than Spreadsheet?
I did not intend to imply I had written the macro. I think recomputing at the property or cell level would be tricky to code. Not only that, but consider also the added computations needed to determine which cells or properties to recompute, which just adds more time to the recompute process. This w...

Re: Introduction to the ThreadProfile WB
The ThreadProfile object can be attached as you would attach a sketch. Some trial and error is to be expected for getting the desired clearance. The buttress threads have to be printed in a certain orientation for best results, which can be a challenge in some cases.
