Re: Addon Manager and pip based Addons for 1.0?

When I read the description here - https://github.com/FreeCAD/freecad.workbench_starterkit It mentions Note: There are currently two FreeCAD workbench styles. The origin workbench type is called "legacy-workbench". In addition the "namespace-workbench" is now an optional (and pre...

Re: Addon Manager and pip based Addons for 1.0?

It does install / work via pip
but the question is, is it compatible with the existing Addon Manager?
Ideally you want everything available listed in the Addon Manager.

Addon Manager and pip based Addons for 1.0?

Hi, I've noticed (after messing with the cadquery addon) that there's actually a new style of addon which uses pip to install the addon instead of copying / pasting into a Mod directory https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?t=36051 https://github.com/FreeCAD/freecad.workbench_starterkit I was w...

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)

I don't want to discourage you, but I don't see how running Qt inside the web would help. What is the goal here? A better UI or turning FreeCAD into a cloud-based application? My thoughts were if you could move from using C++ for the UI to JS for the UI code * it might encourage more devs to be inv...

Re: Alternative GUI for FreeCAD: Overlayed Layout (Devs needed)

I've been looking at the UI of freecad to see what a better option would be in the future moving forward (I'm not an official dev myself or anything) Since I'd like a useable alternative to Solidworks Fusion360 has recently dropped a bit of a bomb on personal users with some new limits recently as w...

Re: Suitability of FreeCAD's architecture for web-based frontend

I also noticed this as another thread about a more modern UI I think this one uses QML which is Qt's Markup combined with Javascript * https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=23053 So then I asked is it possible to run QT apps within a web browser It turns out you may be able to do thi...

Re: Suitability of FreeCAD's architecture for web-based frontend

This was an attempt someone made at modernising the UI using QT https://github.com/HakanSeven12/Modern-UI I couldn't get it working under windows although some of the python code / callbacks may be of interest I'm looking at putting a demo of my own together as an addon, not sure how far I'll get, c...

Re: FreeCad 0.19, where to download?

Yeah, quite problematic. I wanted to download the latest 0.19 build to keep up to date (use an older 0.19 build right now), but failed to find it yesterday. If a new build can't be made quickly, maybe put the previous build in the list, such that Fusion360 Refugees have at least the second most rec...

Re: FreeCad 0.19, where to download?

Dude, stop spreading misinformation. We are literally the developers and maintainers of the releases, the GitHub release is the most updated package. Chocolatey takes it from there. You simply don't understand what the numbers mean; the "tag" date indicates when this tag was created, it d...

Re: FreeCad 0.19, where to download?

It is never required to make a full build for Windows unless you want something that is either customized by yourself or released in the past couple of days. The builds mentioned in the links above are updated at frequent intervals. Chocolately appears to be using exactly the same builds that are o...
