mario52 I did as you wrote but I got the message:

NameError: name 'NormalA' is not defined.

Thanks anyway.

I tried. So far so good.
Will you include it in a next version of Workfeatures macro ?

Thanks Mario52

[mario52]

Hi

unzip the file and copy this new file WF.py in WorkFeature mod instead the original WF.py

WF_05-06-2021.zip

(80.67 KiB) Downloaded 60 times

and report ...

mario52 I copied the WF.py to the folder: /home/manosd/.freeCAD/Macros .
I am not sure that it is the appropriate folder because of the file I attached.
Any hint ?

[mario52]

hi

not the good folder, in Windows the folder is

Code: Select all

C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\WorkFeature\WorkFeature

/home/manosd/.freeCAD/Macros is the macros folder (start_WF_WorkFeature.FCMacro is the lauch macro for WorkFeature)

see in (search and replace the WF.py macro)

Code: Select all

/home/manosd/.freeCAD/Mod/WorkFeature/WorkFeature

Hello,

I like the look of this macro and it's listed features hold greatpromise.

I am having a problem with creating an axis between two planes.

If I select two plannar surfaces from my model and axis is created, no problem.

If one, or both, of the plannar surfaces is a datum plane, it fails. Error message says that the selections are parallel. I should change my selection. They are very muchnot parallel.

[mario52]

hi

I think WF is not yet adapted for the datum plane

want to give an example file fot testing

and the command used (maybe Axis Plane/Plane) ?
