Hi davidmubernal, Thanks.
For Windows, if Mechatronic WorkBench is installed in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD it is also available for the development versions.

Hello everyone!
I have update the workbench with a new GUI desin and better interaction between models.
Also I upload two tutorial to YouTube in Spanish.
I' m not forgetting the bugs that have already been reported, I' m working on them.

Hello, everybody!
In view of some bugs in the installation I leave you a little guide for debian and ubuntu.
It would be analogous to other distributions.
Also, for Windows or macOS you should download the same zip file.
Download Mechatronic-master from https://github.com/davidmubernal/Mechatronic
Unzip the downloaded file Mechatronic-master.zip to the directory of your choice.
Unzip the file Mechatronic from Mechatronic-master to .FreeCAD/Mod/
(which is usually located at /home/user/.Free . . . if you're using AppImage copies of 0.19-xxxxx )
Use chown and chgrp to change the owner and group values for .FreeCAD/Mod/Mechatronic to user
Restart FreeCAD
The Mechtornic WB should now be available in your list of workbenches.
In a few weeks I will facilitate the installation through the addon manager to simplify the installation

There is absolutely no need to use sudo in this case. The workbench should be placed in the user owned directory, so there is not need for higher privileges.
Code: Select all
/home/vocx/.FreeCAD/Mod

The same advice applies to Windows and MacOS. You do not need to have administrator privileges, you just need to place the workbench in the user directory where FreeCAD reads modules.
Installing_more_workbenches
I remember a story of a user that was trying to install FreeCAD, and he used Administrator privileges to place it inside system32 or something crazy like that. It is completely unnecessary, and that may cause problems in the future if you don't know what you are doing.
