Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

But this should give you a route to extracting global positions. Ed, the code sample was a tremendous help. Thank you. I have updated the code and it can still be found at https://github.com/DanMiel/QuickMeasure . I am also attaching one of the models I have been using for testing. Once again, any ...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

It seems the API has been simplified since I explored this last - so this may only work on recent FreeCADs. It works with my test file - but you should run it on files you are interested in. What I had, would not work, I realized that after building more complicated models. the dimensions in your c...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

And it shows up fine now. Thanks drmarco. Ed, I just saw your code for vertexes. I did run across some simple code from the markster in this post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?style=1&t=64198 I used it, and it looks like it is working on your cubes. I need to create radii holes con...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

However, this doesn't work if the two vertices lie on objects in different coordinate systems. Ed, I agree with you. I havent used the local coordinate systems and didn't think of them. From what I've seen so far, it will be harder to find how to get the numbers than to change the program. Thanks f...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

I note vertex coordinates are local - that's OK - in the status bar you already have global - maybe should be documented. Ed, I noticed if one vector is selected the xyz is the same as at the bottom of the screen, when two vertexes are selected the x, y and z becomes the distance between them in th...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

The icon is in the Mod/Icons directory. I not sure what is going on. My icon is in the Mod/QuickMeasure/icon/ directory. I don't have a mod/icons. I did notice that in my files i in icons is small case and the directory the I is uppercase. Since there is only one icon, I have moved it to the QuickM...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

Now, no error, still no icon... The icon in the dropdown is a default FreeCAD icon. Once you select the Quick Measure there should be a toolbar with the icon below. I'm sorry I was so short with my messages. Tremors are worse today than nomal making it hard to type. I'll take a look at why the Icon...

Re: I'm ready to have users try a new measuring program.

Is this the same code base as the info tool in Curves workbench? I would say, no. Do we really need two similar but different tools? I have used several measuring tools but haven't found any that I like. We already have Part and Part design. They are modelers. This tool only measures. When I attemp...
