Hello,
I have some problem with assembly orientation of multi part projects.
FC info:
OS: Windows 10
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16110 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at upstream/releases/FreeCAD-0-18)
Hash: f7dccfaa909e5b9da26bf50c4a22ccca9bb10c40
Python version: 3.6.6
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: Polish/Poland (pl_PL)
Could someone explain me how to use A2plus workbench (or workbench I should use) to manipulate objects. My example have 4 objects from step files. Each time I try to manipulate object, I recieve error "The highlighted parts were not moved. They are not constrainded to a fixed part"
How I constrain fixed part? Its like I need to make FIX constrain to one part and rest is related to this fixed part?

Moved to Assembly forum.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.
Re: Assembly example using step files
You need at least one part with the property "fixed Position" = True. You can change this in the property editor of the part.rebisar wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 7:26 pm Could someone explain me how to use A2plus workbench (or workbench I should use) to manipulate objects.

Re: Assembly example using step files
Hello,
But i dont see this feature in my properties menu.
When I look at youtube tutorials they have "fixedPosition =false/true", I need to activate something in settings?

Re: Assembly example using step files
The way you are using A2plus is not correct. The parts have to be imported from external files to the assembly. If doing so, each A2p object has the property "fixed Position" in the property editor of the combo view.
You can read this here: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/A2plus_Workbench
An additional tutorial is here: https://youtu.be/QMxcQ5tssWk
So put each of your STEP models to a separate file and import it from there. This is the most correct way. Alternatively you can use the A2p import function for direct import of STEP models to the assembly.
