I'm finally getting the ASM4 and how to assemble, then continue with solid modeling, then again assemble and so on. I need to fuse the assembled parts manually if they are supposed to be a single continuous solid. 🤦‍♂️ And the Make sub-link is just the right tool when one is outside of PartDesign (a...

Could you elaborate please? Sure. I didn't tested this code, but hopefully you can just an action to the main window (in the example below, shortcut is Ctrl+H) : from PySide import QtGui, QtCore import FreeCADGui as Gui def doOnCall(): QtGui.QMessageBox.information(Gui.getMainWindow(),'I do', 'You ...

Hello, Is there a way to Set a shortcut for a macro without having a visible toolbar icon for it? Have multiple shortcuts set for one macro and in the macro read which shortcut invoked it? I'm writing a simple macro which raises one of the following widgets: ComboView, PropertyView-View, PropertView...

Actually no. Assembly4 is used in these examples to create all of the bodies in-context and their features in a single file as well as to assemble all of the bodies. For repeated features I would use PartDesign patterns and Draft arrays for repeated bodies. Or, you can use Assembly4 to arbitrarily ...

Assembly4 facilitates the creation of numerous bodies using the PartDesign or Part workbench in the same or individual files then assemble and attach them in their proper location in 3D space. It also has the added benefit of simulating motion of an articulating or rotating assembly to check for pr...

I think you are rather looking for features of the PartDesign workbench and other workbenches working with solids. An assembly is by definition when you put things together that you can disassemble again. So putting a board in a case would be an assembly but cutting holes in a case would be part of...

I've gone through the official tutorials and examples and I'm slowly beginning to think that I've completely misunderstood ASM4. I have basically following use-cases: I place some thing in an enclosure to specific places and then I try modeling openings, mounting holes, and mounting brackets around ...

Hello, I'm modelling something like this Screenshot_20200712_131820.png where I model an edge or a lip of the case on the picture by sweeping Sketch001 . I'd like to move the Sketch001 to a separate file where I could also model a counterpart and then easily reuse those sketches in other models. I u...

I too am looking for something like variant links. From OpenSCAD and CadQuery I'm used to modules/methods which Can be reused with different parameters. Can reside in their own files. Can be not only union something to a specified model but also cut and even otherwise modify it. For the 2nd and a pa...
