I have a question. And depending on the answer to this question, I also might have a request. :)
Currently I'm trying to transition from Fusion 360 to FreeCAD. I had to give it a few tries, but now I feel accustomed enough to make the switch. (My main use case is designing functional parts for 3d-printing.)
I've spent the last two or three evenings trying to build 0.18 and 0.19 with SpaceMouse support – with mediocre success. (FreeCAD successfully compiled, but the resulting FreeCAD.app wouldn't start anymore if moved to the /Applications folder. It runs if it is started from the folder where it was built, but would throw an error about numpy.)
While I was going through the cmake options, I was wondering if it would be possible to have SpaceMouse support built into the official FreeCAD releases for macOS?
I know that the config script checks for the presence of the 3Dconnexion software and automatically adds support if it is able to find said software. But would setting
Code: Select all
FREECAD_USE_3DCONNEXION:BOOL=ON
Code: Select all
3DCONNEXIONCLIENT_FRAMEWORK:FILEPATH=/Library/Frameworks/3DconnexionClient.framework
For now I stick to 0.17. :)
Cheers,
Alexander
