When I get to the Assembling section, I found that the Assembly2 workbench is no longer supported and not available via the Addon Manager.
I tried installing Assembly4 which was successfully installed, but I wasn't able to find a button labeled "Import a part from another FreeCAD document", or anything that seems similar (but maybe I missed it?).
I tried installing Assembly3, and this required the python library py-slvs. Understandable, as this is the SolveSpace python component Assembly3 uses.
But when installing, I get the following dialogue box text:
The report view shows the following:Installation of Python package py-slvs failed
See report view for detailed failure log
Code: Select all
12:08:59 b'pip 22.1.2 from /snap/freecad/66/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)\n'Nonepip 22.1.2 from /snap/freecad/66/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
I then found that the A2plus addon seems to be the closest successor to assembly2, and was able to find the option to add a part from an external file. After this, I was able to finish the tutorial.
My feedback would be to either update the article to mention A2plus and possibly update it's steps specifically for that plugin, or do the same with another plugin if it's generally considered better. I'd be happy to do this, if I had access to the wiki but it might be easier for someone else to make the update too.
As a side note, all the icon styling changes when installing any of these addons.
