Get placement of Link obj in Assembly3 parts

Post by llll »

When a Link placement is changed in Assembly, placement of the Link outside of assembly doesn't change.

and, Link placement inside assembly doesnt change either!.. despite its position in GUI changing... Recomputes don't help.

Is this normal behaviour? If not, can you suggest why this could be happening?

Also, to access doc.Parts.Link001.Placement.Base < what is the syntax here? I don't see the way to do it in autocomplete
doc.Assembly....
doc.Parts.....

Hello, I hope that the link that I propose to you, video 2, will allow you to have an answer to your questions :

http://help-freecad-jpg87.fr/0271_ass_FAQplus.php

... but I'm not sure I understand your approach, because if you use the constraints to position your components, the placement of the links is done automatically.
