Yes. German text means: connection not secure, blocked.

Hi Bernd,

I'm also getting the same error message in V 0.16, this started to happen after I've Downloaded BOLTS to be used in V 0.17.

I Realized both versions are using the BOLTS file under the Users\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD folder.

So the questions I have is:
1) Will BOLTS be fully functional for V 0.16?
2) Is it possible to have two folders for each version in the Users\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD folder? Because when I get a add-on for one version it shows on the other.
ex:
Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming\FreeCADv0.16
Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming\FreeCADv0.17

You can start FreeCAD with parameters for the directories:

Code: Select all

Generic options:
  -v [ --version ]          Prints version string
  -h [ --help ]             Prints help message
  -c [ --console ]          Starts in console mode
  --response-file arg       Can be specified with '@name', too
  --dump-config             Dumps configuration
  --get-config arg          Prints the value of the requested configuration key

Configuration:
  -l [ --write-log ]        Writes a log file to:
                            /Users/cb/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD/FreeCAD.log
  --log-file arg            Unlike --write-log this allows logging to an 
                            arbitrary file
  -u [ --user-cfg ] arg     User config file to load/save user settings
  -s [ --system-cfg ] arg   System config file to load/save system settings
  -t [ --run-test ] arg     Test case - or 0 for all
  -M [ --module-path ] arg  Additional module paths
  -P [ --python-path ] arg  Additional python paths
  --single-instance         Allow to run a single instance of the application

No, you probably have an icon to start FreeCAD. There you can add parameters in the properties. As an alternative you can start a shell - "cmd.exe" is its name on windows - and start FreeCAD from there. Don't forget the complete path to the FreeCAD binary.

There was an issue posted about it and jreinhardt replied: https://github.com/jreinhardt/BOLTS/issues/176
