Work Feature workbench with parametric objects
Hi everybody,
I am please to inform that Work Feature Workbench is just born.
Quite all objects created with functions from this workbench are parametric. That mean if the "parent" object change, all children objects will change accordingly !

No time to test now. Is it Body and Part aware?rentlau_64 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 6:30 am I am please to inform that Work Feature Workbench is just born.

Re: Work Feature workbench with parametric objects
I just tried in 0.17 13247
it basically works.. creates points and planes. Did not manage to get lines to show up.
Then i was not able to move elements or sets into a body, only to the top level of the part . It´s possible to create a shapebinder from each object and access the element via the shapebinder..
unless i am not missing something.. not for 0.17 as it is..
@rentlau_64 .. was it ment to work in .17 ?? if not you should please clearly state that

Re: Work Feature workbench with parametric objects
...Win10-32 and FC0.17.13340.
Addonmanager is not able to upload/install WorkFeatureWB.
A problem I encounter since I use FC.17.
(I suppose it has something to do with Linux-resistance of Win....)

Re: Work Feature workbench with parametric objects
...using Addonmanager I only see/saw something like "downloading".
Waiting for a while, nothing more happens and it looks like freezed.
Controlling in appdata... there is a new File "workfeature" with actual datum.
But no WorkfeatureWB in Customize-Workbenches or Macros.

Hi @hammax.
When a FreeCAD module is not yet available in Addon manager. Or Addon manager isn't working for whatever reason. It is easy to download a FreeCAD module and install is manually. There are general instructions on FreeCAD Wiki and module developers usually provides install instructions on GitHub. Or wherever they host their code.

From the add-ons installer, it is trying to install the WorkFeature Macrohammax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 1:27 pm ...using Addonmanager I only see/saw something like "downloading".

It installs a "workfeature" folder in %appdata%/freecad/Mod
Then it tries to create a start_WF.FCMacro symlink in your macro folder. This fails because on Win you need admin privileges to create a symlink. If you have report view activated you should see the error. There is a pending pull request to fix this for Win10 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/1337
Alternatively you can run FreeCAD as admin and then using the add-ons installer should work (it did for me after deleting the workfeatures folder from the Mod directory, otherwise it thought it was already fully installed) Then re-start FreeCAD and in your macros you will have the start_WF.FCMacro. The macro works tabified, you will see its tab next to the Combo View tab.
This new work is a true workbench. For now you can just clone @rentlau_64's repo into the Mod folder, it installs a "WorkFeature-WB" folder in %appdata%/freecad/Mod. Then re-start FreeCAD and you will have a WorkFeature Workbench in the dropdown WB selector.
Quick tests show that the macro and workbench can both be active at the same time. I didn't test yet mixing the tools in the workflow.
