Re: Help me understand Selection Observer

Ok. I think I've got a bit better handle on this. By rummaging in the source code, first at Sourceforge then GitHub, I found in Selection.h there is struct SelObj { const char* DocName; const char* FeatName; const char* SubName; const char* TypeName; App::Document* pDoc; App::DocumentObject* pObject...

Re: Help me understand Selection Observer

So Gui.Selection.addObserver connects me to the Selection API. When I look on the wiki https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Selection_API I see addSelection(FreeCAD.Object) Is that addSelection my addSelection? So that in my addSelection(self, doc, obj, sub, pnt) the parameters self,doc,obj,sub,pnt is the AP...

[Solved]Help me understand Selection Observer

I'm trying to build a macro that analyzes selected edges of a body and sends the analysis result on to Draft and then Techdraw. I've got all the bits and pieces working but the edge selecting process bothers me because, although it works, I don't understand how it works. Here's the relevent chunk of...

Re: New Stick Frame Workbench

Inspired by your efforts, I decided to clone your repo. Just had a quick look into your code with my morning cuppa. You use XPM icons. See this thread https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=17057 . You mix decimal English units with fractional ones, for example in studs.py when initializing pr...

Re: Imperial Dimentions Displayed with mm Values no conversion happening

It is interesting that neither my nor colleague @chennes saw this and chennes is a North American. However, by ironing the issue out, I found another issue one since I tested this time more. I missed it myself at first. I was focussed only on the linear dimensions. It wasn't until I printed a drawi...

Re: Imperial Dimentions Displayed with mm Values no conversion happening

Oops! It appears the fix was inadventently applied to angular dimensions as well. 45 deg / 25.4 = 1.7717 !!

I tried this. With a reset Preferences I get the expected behavior from the AddOn Manager. With my preferences restored the Manager reverts to the above described problematic behavior.

Re: Macro and Workbench problem

This is quite odd. I don't remember many reports like yours. If this really is a recurring problem with the AppImage , we would have had more reports by now. It could be something specific to your system? My recollection is that this first started occuring back when I was using the daily linux buil...
