Hi,
I haven't included a file because I believe what I'm trying to do doesn't require any existing geometry.
I want to create a flat circular text which I will extrude and project onto a surface.
Having trouble adding FCCircularText with the Addon manager, I did a manual download.
1. download code from the internet. See FCCircularText.text
2. In Freecad menu: Macro/create
3. copy and paste code into editor. Name it FCCircularText
4. macro menu: Macros (see attachment "Addon"
5. select FCCircularText.FCMacro
5. select execute
Nothing happens.
Let me know what additional info I should provide.
Thank you,
Jim

hi
for use "Execute" the macro with AddonManager you must unselect and reselected the macro and after click "Execute" the macro is executed and edited in the FreeCAD macro editor (for experimented user)
but if the macro is installed, use select the macro and "Execute"
here for create one button Customize_Toolbars
@TheMarkster actual version,

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Re: FCCircularText not working
Thanks for the suggestions.
I installed the latest version and all is good. Addon Mgr works and offered this macro. I added it and it opens.
However, I can't use the context button ("What's This"). When I click it and then select an item the arrow disappears and nothing happens.
Any suggestions. Or should I open a new post?
Thanks
