Re: can not use space bar to hide any element.

I'm using my script as I said. Many thousand lines of code. Figured it was not worth posting all of that. Luckily I narrowed it down to 1: FreeCADGui.updateGui() Here's how to reproduce the bug: Select some component of a model [I've tested on a FCgear and on a sphere] Press space a few times, verif...

Re: can not use space bar to hide any element.

If I set my animation to run 0 frames, pressing space goes back to toggling visibility.

So maybe it's fighting with my code to rotate gears? But only in this version, or only on Win11, or only while I'm on a plane.

Re: can not use space bar to hide any element.

So did anyone find fix for this? Because I ran all the tests mentioned in this thread and my settings are correct, it's a brand new install on a brand new laptop, and whenever I press "space" my script instantly kills the animation I'm running, instantly kills the script with NO ERROR nor ...

FreeCAD crash recovery crashes FreeCAD

There is nothing to recover but Freecad really wanted to recover something, it listed "unnamed" and then locked up forever before I could click anything. Happened every startup as of Thurs. Tried killing things in task manager, tried rebooting. I ran .\FreeCAD.exe --write-log There weren't...

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

Thank you so much for this, everything is working now! Thank you so much!!!

Is it possible to write a macro to refresh everything that needs refreshed? I know I can recompute and update the gui, but I couldn't find a way to refresh.
Thanks again!

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

I swear that's what I did! Sorry if I'm driving you crazy, I promise I'm not usually a moron... I just tried again: I clicked on the body, clicked "make a link" (mouse hover says it's Std_LinkMake), set that link's "copy on change" to "enabled." If I tell it to use a di...

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

Here are 2 versions I tried, I can't seem to upload the version I made with a part, I get an HTTP error. I made them with FreeCAD-asm3-Daily-Win-Conda-Py3.9-20220430-x86_64.7z I can get a single part to work with a config table, but any link copies ignore configuration changes and will only mimic th...

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

Thank you for the slower video :) I am now 90% of the way there, but either I'm trying to do something impossible or missing something, or maybe this is just impossible with gears. In your example, if you were to modify the top level spreadsheet entry table for lego "44" and then change th...

Re: PR#2862: Configuration Table using Spreadsheet

How should one make a copy of a parametric gear that uses a configuration table? I see the videos hurriedly click though something about elements but I'm not sure that applies to me, however I can't tell what menus they are in so I'm not sure. Lots of Youtube videos explain how to make one, no more....

How to output to SVG and not get a disaster?

I have a 3D design with 30 gears each with 2 text labels to be etched on the side, the design assembled by script. I want to laser cut the parts but it turns out that few things work with labels, even fewer work with gears. "Export to flattened SVG" sort of works, now that I removed linkgr...
