[Solved] Installed A2plus but can't see/use it

Post by HopRocket »

I installed the A2plus addon to test it out, as it looks great in the documentation.
Addon manager now tells me A2plus is installed. (I've also restarted many times after install) But I don't see it on the menu of workbenches.
I made sure to install the latest version of Freecad.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the addon but result is the same.

Any suggestions re what else to try? Have others had this problem?

You should first have a look for error messages in the report console when starting up freecad.

If your problems have to do with a multiple installation of "numpy" you can follow this thread here:

If there are other problems, please post you error messages.

Yes indeed. Looked in the report window and there was a message about multiple numpys.
I followed your suggested thread and found instructions to uninstall all the extra copies. Which worked.
Now when I open Freecad I see A2plus V0.4.29a, and the workbench.

Thanks much for the fast and helpful reply!
