Re: Material overhaul
When this version is released, you can use the new workbench defined folders. The only restriction FC has is that this be in the local filesystem, but your workbench could manage downloads and updates from anywhere. Would that mean that every "materials library workbench" would have to im...

Re: Material overhaul
If you have two different versions of the same material, as in same UUID, without any notion of which one came first, all you can do is scream. But you can't give the user any indication as to which version they should tend to use. Say some organization updated one of their materials to have a diffe...

Re: Material overhaul
1. [snip] Sounds good 2. This is easy to do and I even had an entry in there before removing it. The truth is I just don't see how it would be useful in practice. If it has changed it should have a new UUID. Using a UUID and version number together is effectively doing the same thing. If you're usi...

Re: Material overhaul
Hi, I just watched your presentation on the new materials system. First of all, it looks great. I do have two points of feedback. 1. Source standard library via git I believe the standard material library should not reside in the FreeCAD core repository. The more stuff is contained within a single r...

Re: What are the needs for the integrated assembly workbench?
I'd like to add that for me parametrization parts is a very important aspect. Lots of parts in an assembly might be parametrized and a user might want to use different versions of that part in one and the same assembly. Screws are a common example. It makes sense to have only one base model for a me...

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench
In addition to using a standardized data structure, a standardized nomenclature would help a lot. Currently all existing assembly workbenches feel like completely separate foreign languages. Learning one of them hardly translates to understanding the others. They not only use different technological...

Re: The need for a default assembly workbench
Hi, I am very happy to see this discussion. I tried switching to FreeCAD a couple of years ago and the plethora of conflicting assembly solutions prevented me from doing so. Recently I have started to get back into FreeCAD to give it another try. I think there has been quite a lot of good discussion...

Re: [Ticket #4614] Request for a separate Assy file format
Why stop at two different file extensions? What if you looked in a file directory and saw the extensions FCdoc, FCss, FCassm2, FCpart2, FCassm3, FCassm4, FCpdf, FCArch, FCTdraw. Would that help humans find what file they want? If someone wanted to write a PDM the programmer would have a standard Fr...

Re: [Ticket #4614] Request for a separate Assy file format
Having a separate file name and being able to write properties from PDM to the file would be nice. Also I believe this affects A2Plus not Assm3 or Assm4. As I stated earlier, file-names are up to the user and creating an artificial restriction in FreeCAD just to have two different file extensions i...

Re: Changes at TravisCI- affecting open source
After some issues with updating my fork of your GitLab repository, I was able to have it finish the test-job but it ended in a core dump. I assume that this is somewhat related to the issue you already know about. The core part of this setup, registering the runner and having it run jobs, works fine...
