Good way to start is to set up your development environment which includes installing git. There's a page on the wiki called Github (actually it's a redirect link). It should explain in more detail what you need to do in order to conveniently submit your code changes to the main repository. If you have questions please feel free to ask

Created a PR. Hope it's OK. I am a github learner.

Nice job. I think something like this would be nice to have in Sketcher as a main tool. Grouped together with the clone copy tools for ecample (in order to not further clutter the Sketcher toolbar)

Yeah! Well done. Thx again for this great tool.

Excellent macro...
Why this functionality is not integrated as a feature in the main program?
It is a very common function in every CAD program, not something fancy.
It should be inside the constraints group in the sketcher IMO...

I'm getting the following error when trying to use the macro:

Code: Select all

23:23:02  <class 'IndentationError'>: ('expected an indented block', ('/home/___________/.FreeCAD/Macro/SketcherOffset.FCMacro', 28, 1, '""" \n  read selected items and show the offset distance\n""" \n'))

Would just love to have this one work for me. Constraining every little corner for tolerance just destroys my little soul
