Python API Question

[onekk]

This works for me without any problems

I am using the partdesign object

Code: Select all

box = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("PartDesign::FeatureAdditivePython","PDBox")
pdboxx.PDBox(box)
pdboxx.PDBoxViewProvider(box.ViewObject)
active_body.addObject(box)

Maybe that is the reason why is does not work.

Maybe if there are not errors, some .recompute() on the Active document could trigger the recomputing, I've noted that sometimes, changing a "property" of an object is not triggering a "recompute" but I've not played with PartDesign Objects a part for some test some time ago.

My two cents.

Doesn't make a difference for me. It works perfectly, too.

I will investigate it and isolate the code bit by bit. I will post here once I have found the root cause.

This works for me without any problems:

Code: Select all

obj.ViewObject.Proxy = 1

Also when changing the properties in the editor the box will be correctly updated.

What is the difference between obj.ViewObject.Proxy = 1 and obj.ViewObject.Proxy = 0?

There is no difference. When not using a real proxy class as view provider then it's only important to set a value different to None.

The problem I had was probably caused because the Macro does not automatically reload upon change. I had other problems that also seemed random, but after understanding that I need to restart FreeCAD for Macro changes to take effect, I did not run into these issues anymore.
