may-be you could add an option in the "Marker-Shape" ? Some people might be more familiar with the coloured axes.

Re: Create and display local coordinate system
One has to understand that this were originally created for the specific use in Lattice not as a general axis system element for the part / assembly workflows.
Re: Create and display local coordinate system
and, while we're at it: what is the Lattice workbench for ? it's not 100% intuitive, and the help page is not very informative either.

BTW, try:
It's a CS frame. But it's not useful, because nothing supports it.
Code: Select all
App.ActiveDocument.addObject('App::Placement')
Re: Create and display local coordinate system
nice. Yes, this looks like an LCS. But it's not selectableDeepSOIC wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 11:13 pm BTW, try:It's a CS frame.Code: Select all

Is there a keyword to include a FC model file by path and name ?But it's not useful, because nothing supports it.
Code: Select all
App.ActiveDocument.addObject('App::Part') ?

Re: Create and display local coordinate system
I don't understand what you mean. From a file on file system? 'App::Placement' was a C++ class name ("namespace::classname")Zolko wrote: ↑Tue Dec 18, 2018 9:51 am Is there a keyword to include a FC model file by path and name ?Code: Select all

The question seems off-topic, if so please start a new thread (and quote me if you'd like me to notice).
Re: Create and display local coordinate system
funny, I managed to compile FreeCAD from source (Python 3 & Qt5 on Ubuntu 18.04) and modified the Placement marker (in ~/src/Gui/ViewProviderPlacement.cpp) and it looks like this now (see screenshot). Much closer to an LCS. But still not selectable I can manually place it somewhere else though. Still not very useful.DeepSOIC wrote: ↑Mon Dec 17, 2018 11:13 pm BTW, try:It's a CS frame.
