This looks very cool! Thank you for sharing!

I am trying to develop a workbench but I still have very limited Python skills and (in my humble opinion) the Workbench_creation wiki looks a bit intimidating for someone like me (although I really appreciate the time and effort people have put in this wiki!!). I think some kind of video tutorial co...

Those sorts of things are usually called "dunder methods", as in "double underscore". Your approach was pretty close. Let's assume the result of input("part name: ") is "Box". Then, getattr(objectname, "Box") would return the same thing as entering objectname.Box , because Box is an attr of objectn...

Ah I see! I also tried using getattribute but with an other way (something like this): objectname = Gui.ActiveDocument getattr(objectname, input("part name: ")+".Object.Shape.CenterOfMass") But I got an error (probably since I not fully understand the method). You are using something called a 'magic...

Suppose I want to get the center of mass from a part named by the user. I learned that you can use the eval() method to turn this string into a python command but I also learned that this method is in general a dangerous one since users can implement their own code in this. center = eval("Gui.Active...

I've switched to the "Assembly 2 Plus (A2plus)" workbench as the development of this workbench seems more active. This solved my problem, I think.

In the last few months I've picked up a programming tutorial for Python. I'm now trying to make a simple script to import a Freecad Assembly model into OpenModelica as a multibody system. I hope it works and my code will definitely be messy but it would be a nice first step. Maybe in the future I or...

done, thanks for the suggestion!

I'm trying to import a part in my assembly which contains a local coordinate system and reference mass point. picture of part: https://imgur.com/a/bd8Qrz5 However, when I try to import it I get an error message saying this: https://imgur.com/a/FIZhByO . Anyone has an idea how to fix this? (using Fre...
