Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Sorry for the confusion, now I've got it. Here is how: 1. Add a link (!) to a body to the assembly (model). The body must have hole axes defined. A body in the assembly does not work, it must be a link to a body. 2. Add a fastener to the assembly/model. It must be a direct child of the assembly (mod...

Re: Assembly 4 workbench

Hi Zolko, I can't get "Clone fasteners to axes" to work. It worked exactly once, but never again. Error messages: 'Asm4_cloneFastenersToAxes' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\Appdata\FreeCAD\Mod\Assembly4\FastenersLib.py", line 272, in Activated Asm4.placeObjec...

Re: Selection woes

Several ideas: 1) 3D print a tripod large enough to put a coffee cup on it, and rest one leg on the ctrl key. This way you don't have to press that key down while selecting :-D (just kidding) 2) Pledge for a new feature "additive selection" or so that emulates the ctrl button. I believe I ...

Re: Poll about FreeCAD's background color

I prefer a uniform white or light grey color for the background. I general, I like colors to be used sparingly, which has a somewhat "elegant" touch. White is excellent for taking screenshots and use the images in my documentation, or when travelling on my Surface with a reflecting screen,...

Re: Assembly 4 Using Fasteners

I just wanted to test the menu Assembly > Fasteners > Clone Fasteners to Axes. To do that, I created an Assembly container, added a (linked) Body with 4 holes and hole axes. Then added a nut to the assembly container with menu Assembly > Fasterners > Insert nut. So nut and link to the body are sibli...

(After de- and res-electing the Binder,) Sketch001 is referenced in the Binder's Support property correctly, and appears in the 3D view. Then I dragged Sketch002 on the Binder. The binder now referen...

Re: Assembly3 preview

Referencing a Property of a Linked External Object - Solution I found the Solution with the help of the Python Console and some hours of sleep. The formula is Link001.LinkedObject.Document.Pad.Length Link001 is the internal name of the "Ball Bearing 2" object, which points to the "bal...

Re: Assembly3 preview

Referencing a Property of a Linked External Object I am working on a Assembly 3 tutorial about working with component alternatives. The idea is that dimensions change automatically when a (ball bearing) component is exchanged for another. There are two ball bearing component files (ball-bearing-a an...
