Did you restart FreeCAD? Additional workbenches are not visible before restarting.

[wbeppler]

yes, i restarted

[chrisb]

Do you have some other additional workbench that works? If not, can you try installing Fasteners?
And please add your full FreeCAD info.

BOLTSFC is not a wb it is a macro. You should have a macro called start bolts.

hi bernd,
thanks for info but...
i searched start bolts macro but could not find. not in the macro menu in the list and not in addonmanager in the macro tab see pictures (system-tab is empty)

today my preview is out of order, i can see more than my 2 attached pictures but i removed in the textbox...

A bit late but since you get an email you may read this anyway.

If you install BOLTSFC by the addon manager wait some time ... may be 5 minutes. It will not tell you it is successful installed, but it will copy it anyway. Open a Python Console in FreeCAD and put in

Code: Select all

import BOLTS

If you get no error message BOLTS is installed.
Afterwards go to your FreeCAD Mod directory. There should be a file called "start_bolts.FCMacro inside the BOLTSFC directory. Move this file into your macro folder. Run this macro to start BOLTS.

I tried the phyton command and get this:

>>> import BOLTS
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Users\DANIEL\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\BOLTSFC\BOLTS\__init__.py", line 40, in <module>

Ui_BoltsWidget,QBoltsWidget = uic.loadUiType(join(bolts_path,'bolts_widget.ui'))
File "<string>", line 15
exec pyc in frame
^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'exec'
>>>

I got same messages when I execute the macro in normal way.
Addon Manager says addon is installed.
I also copied the files into the macro dir, that did not helped.

Someone can read & identify the problem in the phyton error mesages?
