Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Hi!
I look it for in the directory in the dialog.
There are not any files... I tried to use different directories.
I do not have Windows.
If you make some changes for me, I will test it :)
Thanks for your video.

Hi

i discover the problem is here:

Code: Select all

 SaveName, Filter = PySide2.QtWidgets.QFileDialog.getSaveFileName(None, "Export a file",  pathFile, "Image PNG Portable Network Graphics  (*.png);;"
OS: Linux Mint ignore the extension ex: "name" instead "name.png" then create on error in the macro

use the macro and write also the extension with the name ex: "myAnimationName.png"

tell me

(i work for correct this ...)

OS: Linux Mint 20.1 (X-Cinnamon/cinnamon)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.24847 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 20e756306d9aa624fcbf465f0345d721673ce720
Python version: 3.9.2
Qt version: 5.12.9
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.5.1

You are right, Mario!!! :)
Thanks a lot!

I added a file extension 'png' and macros worked out :)
I used "New image" and "Save the animation".

My object to animate is selected.
That changes it color.
How can I animate without changing a color?

the unique solution with the object selected, select one vertex less visible and not one face or edge

and if the point is not desired you must edit the image concerned with Gimp or other and colored the point , no more solution

no problem in general this is the local model "Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)"

Thanks. I am waiting for it :)

I guessed it... but it is a wrong way ;(
What do you think about a list of project's objects? We should select an item and macros will work with it.
