Vendor Parts Workbench

As it is no longer bound to this company, Step Fetcher sounds good. Perhaps even more descriptive "Third Party Step Fetcher" or "Step Catalog".

How about Step-Download ?

Fetch-it.

I just tried again today with 0.20 and got the following:

For the record, the following does work when added to the Configure dialogue in Addon manager:

Code: Select all

https://github.com/alexneufeld/FreeCAD_mcm_addon.git

But, when attempting to select the workbench after restart:

Code: Select all

12:44:28  No module named 'PySide2.QtUiTools'
12:44:28  Traceback (most recent call last):

Thanks everyone for the rename suggestions. Will get the branches merged/tidied up this weekend maybe

I was kind of expecting that someone would have issues with pyside. Still trying to wrap my head around the different versions that are involved in this addon. Can you try to explicitly install pyside2 on your system?

E.G.:

Code: Select all

pip install PySide2

Feature Request

If possible, please add these resources to the addon

https://www.traceparts.com/en
https://www.3dcontentcentral.com/

[bleber]

Berger if tou can store diferents sites on a selection list

[drmacro]

...

Code: Select all

pip install PySide2

Umm...sorry, last time I did that it took me 3 days to get my install working, let alone compiling.

I only use pip as an absolute last resort.

[TheMarkster]

Just refer to PySide and it automatically uses PySide2. At least that's how I think it works.

Adapting to other websites is very easy. The addon doesn't actually know anything about the site it's pointed at. It just opens whatever URL you give it.
QtWebTools is almost suspiciously good at getting this exact job done. It handles download requests and creates the files for us. We even get a nice Qt signal when a file finishes downloading. The addon connects that signal to a function that can import step files into FreeCAD

I threw together a new branch that can autogenerate Gui commands for a list of website URLs: https://github.com/alexneufeld/FreeCAD_ ... ultivendor

thus it would work for example with this too https://www.3dfindit.com/ They have an own AddOn for FreeCAD available in the AddOn manager. Eventually since it nearly does the same both AddOns should be similar. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=52616
