Hi! Your post is rather hard to understand. + you are asking for support on an obsolete version of FC. So be prepared for people get annoyed :twisted: .

Do you mean you don't have "Robot" workbench listed in workbench list? or does it fail to load?
Do you see any errors in Report View? (go to menu View->Views->Report View to activate it)
And please post complete version info, as instructed here.

The easiest way to make sure everything is working as it should would be to get the latest release version of FreeCAD. You can find it from here - Download

FreeCAD 0.14 is several 3 years out of date! :shock:

I think you should remove first youre Freecad 0.14
after that type the following in you're terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable
sudo apt-get update
when you have this done

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install freecad
should work
