Thanks, Mario, for taking care of the Code-Snippets page.

Finally I was able to write a small script/macro out of the lines you provided me.
The result can be found over here... viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12381&p=151950#p151950
Thanks again,

Sorry for opening an old topic... But is the macro also added to the add-on manager?

Hi

But is the macro also added to the add-on manager?

done Macro_Mouse_over_cb

done

Why did you add "Macro_Mouse_over_cb", instead of "FC_element_selector_v1p1p1.FCMacro"

IMO, "Macro_Mouse_over_cb" is more a snippet, than a working macro, isn't it

"FC_element_selector_v1p1p1.FCMacro" should be available by addon manager.

Hello,
You made a great macro! This function is a must have.

I have some questions :

Why do we have to click on "start here" button ?
It is important for the code or just to verify that you see the dialog window?

When I click on an object, the freecad windows go above the dialog one. It is a normal behavior?
I tried to add the following code to the macro but I end up freezing Freecad.

Code: Select all

self.dialog.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) 

Can we keep the dialog windows above freecad all the time?
