It can be done if you use a cube instead of a point as reference... Aligner tool is working with planes and edges, not points atm...

Re: Manipulator WorkBench
Why don't you create a custom toolbar? Place it in "Global" to have it show in all workbenches.
Customize Toolbars
Re: Manipulator WorkBench
You are absolutely right Normand. I somehow 'expected' the Manipulator-wb to have a similar functionality but now I know that it does not.NormandC wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:37 amWhy don't you create a custom toolbar? Place it in "Global" to have it show in all workbenches.

Re: Manipulator WorkBench
The way i see it.
Having a workbench with useful commands in it is a nice start. Having a set of not too complex commands. Likely much easier concept to grasp by potential end users. As different users use different commands from different workbenches. Having global toolbars in different workbenches would easily result in too much toolbars. Hence customization. Customize Toolbars, ShortCuts, CommandPanel, PieMenu ... should hopefully make customization a bit more streamlined.

Re: Manipulator WorkBench
Just checked-out Manipulator WB for first time; NICE!
Very nice AdHoc/On-The-Fly (displayed) dimensioning that was missing from WFeatWB.
Do you have any aspirations to achieve this type(shown below) of object MANIPULATION? This is one of FreeCADs missing links IMO!
People have been begging for this type of tool as long as I have been on the forum; and I am sure for longer then that.
Ever since Apple and Microsoft "BORROWED" this UI style/technique from XEROX PARC, It seems every other CAD-like App (heeks, rhino, autocad.......), Drawing(MacWord, msWord........), illustration (Adobe, Inkscape, LibreDraw.........), Wordprocessing, etc. tool has had THEM forever......but not FreeCAD.
If you could do this, I would certainly nomimate you as Emperor of FreeCAD!

Re: Manipulator WorkBench
It's now actually possible to achieve that. But more developers would need to be more interested to add support:
