FCInfo Macro

[torchic2006]

I am having some trouble using the FCInfo macro. I installed the macro, but when I try to run the macro nothing happens. I select the part, go to macros, and execute the FCInfo macro, but nothing happens. Any suggestions?

I copied the code from the macro into the empty macro and now it's o.k. for me.
I guess there is something wrong with the addon-manager.

Hi Mario,
thank you so much. I like the new look and feel very much.
Coordinate click mouse is nice.

Maybe there is one small thing to improve. I need fcinfo mostly for to calculate the weight of plastic parts.
Maybe you can add the word density, so that it will be clear that the user can type in the value in this field:

hi

done same link, latest version FCInfo.FCMacro

if you want modify the value by default, modify the line 207
example default (1.00)

Code: Select all

global densite       ; densite       = 1.00 # (steel = 7.5 kg by dm3)

modify to (1.20)

Code: Select all

global densite       ; densite       = 1.20 # (steel = 7.5 kg by dm3)

ps: for the moment the macro stay always in memory even if you quit with the Exit button (i search solution)

other think ?

Sorry Mario, I guess it's a missunderstanding because of my lala English.
What I mean, is that the field is named "Density" like the other fields for example "Surface of the form".
That user can realize, that this field is to type in a value for the density.

I think freecad-heini-1 wants to have a label on the GUI for the field.
