Would you mind giving the shortcut thing a try with the same path I have? Im sure if you get the "Windows cant create a shortcut here. Do you want to place the shortcut to the desktop instead?" you will know whats going on. I tried that, and yes it does complain about the shortcut. This is expected...

Before I start to install all the above, is it really nesessary? I assumed those are related to compiling from source? Im running on windows 10 64-bit and using FreeCAD-asm3-Daily-Win64-Py3-Qt5-20210112 By right, you do not need to install anything in order to run it. I just tried the shortcut thin...

Hmm I have a weird one or maybe not. So this morning I was able to run your version of freecad but only if I ran it directly from the exe, making a shortcut came up with a bunch of errors starting with python36.dll not found. Well this afternoon I cant start it even from the folder, I started to try...

You need to install the last 0.19 version to get the workbenches working. v0.18, although stable version, does not provide them, and the add-on manager is somehow broken. If you check my first post you'll see that I have 0.19. jp_math said last 0.19 version. I had this same issue with an earlier ve...

There is a button for that: import datum. In the Model, select LCS2 of Body2, and click import datum: it will create an LCS in the Model and attach it to the placement of LCS2, and you can then use the resulting Model as subassembly in a higher level assembly. The LCS2 in the Model will always foll...

Hello, I have tried googling and trying out stuff but cant figure out is there a way to link LCS from a body to a model. Im sure there is but not quite sure what exactly I am even searching for terminology wise. So I am trying to attach a part into a subassembly and I didnt find a way to use any of ...

What is the corect method on adjusting the relations? Should I edit the parts LCS so that they are offsetted for parts to mate or should I offset stuff in assembly? hum .... not an easy question. The most reliable is to place the LCS where it belongs, with the correct angle, and attach a part direc...

Probably adding the file and version info helps... If you want anyone to look at your file you have to include all of the files linked in the assembly. I apologize, I just assumed they were all "built in" but it makes sense that the assembly is more like a linker file. I edited the previous post. I...
