Assembly3 preview

Hi Realthunder,
in my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS daily builds I installed the Animator workbench via the Addon Installer.
In your Assembly3 Workbench I see the Workbench as installed in the Addon Manager, but I can't switch to the Workbench.
Do you know what this may be? I want to try to move a crankshaft with connecting rod and piston, which I assembled with ASM3 and constraints.
See the following thread in the German Freecad-Forum, there you can also find my exercise Freecad file zipped.

Many thanks and many greetings

Oops, somehow missed your post. I'll take a look once I sort out this big PR I am working on.

How to reference an object in a different file in a formula?

The syntax is DocumentName#ObjectName.PropertyName … <<Document Label>>#<<Object Label>>.PropertyName

Works! Thanks a lot! I tried internal names yesterday, but I must have been blind or just too tired.

Wow, after trying all the assembly workbenches and being stomped by how strange they work, today I found by accident your Assembly3 WB.
Finally a WB that is written with the end user in mind. I never got the other assemblies working, but with yours it was easy.

I have a long history doing CAD, including 2 years Sketchup and 4 years Fusion. Assemblies in Fusion are easy, even kinematic movement and interference detection. With your working solution for assemblies FreeCAD comes much closer to be a viable tool for CAD people like me who want to be users instead of programmers.

(Apologies to the people who made the other WB's. I am sure they do understand how they work)

Hi all.
After an absence from the forum for more than a year, I am pleased to inform you of the update of my site concerning the chapter "assemblies" with Asm3 WB :

Yes, it should be installable by now. And solvespace solver (py_slvs) is also installable through PyPi. Not sure if it is possible to auto install required PyPi package through the manager. Anyone one know who's the person in charge of add on manager?

Thanks for the tutorials! I'll release a new version soon.

Awesome! I'm under the impression that it's yorik and/or kunda, sorry if I'm mistaken guys...

What your asking is not possible to do via the Addon Manager...yet

Edit: nvm this info, I misunderstood. See this post:https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 00#p361146
