Re: BOLTS ... (Newbie)

Something worked, but this should not happen. Can you activate output error redirection in preferences -> General -> Output window and then start the macro by typing

Code: Select all

import BOLTS
into the python console and tell me if there are any errors reported.

Re: BOLTS ... (Newbie)

Installing python 2.6.6 should give you the most-up-to date version of python 2.6 (which is the one that the python in your FreeCAD speaks with). The installation of pyyaml and importlib and BOLTs is described in the documentation . There are comments around about having to build 3rd party C librar...

Re: BOLTS ... (Newbie)

BOLTS should not require PyQT4, so it would be very helpful if you could post the complete error message. YAML is required. And yes, there have been windows users who installed it successfully.

Re: BOLTS ... (Newbie)
