Install FreeCAD-addons-master

Post by MMSN »

Hi all,
FreeCad run excellent in my laptop as well as in my oldest IBM T20!
I starting to run script on the python console as area, volume, center of gravity and inertia without any inconvenient. Today I am trying install the macros FreeCad-addons-master where the file has been located in the address specified from the tutorial. The macros run and doesn't stop as show on the screenshot below.

I just checked, the macros works normally for me. Are you sure you have the latest version?

Try: Copy the addons-installer.FCMacro from "%appdata%/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons-master" to "%appdata%/FreeCAD%
It looks like the unzipped macro is one level too deep.

Maybe the instructions are not correct for windows. The addons-installer.FCMacro must be on the same level as the user.cfg and system.cfg files. Copy the contents of the FreeCAD-addons-master folder to the USERMAME/Appdata/Roaming/FreeCAD folder

The file "macro-add-addons-installer.FCMacro" must be on this level not the folder "FreeCAD-addons-master"
Inside FreeCAD it should look like this
