Assembly3 preview

[realthunder]

Hello everyone, here is a preview of my brand new Assembly3 workbench. It is a preview because I still haven't got time to test it with any non-toy assembly yet. Consider its complexity, expect to have a bumpy ride if you feel like to have an early adventure. Check out the readme in the repo for detail instructions.

The gyroscopic mover and shaker of death is back!!

Jokes aside, WOW
How do I make it work on Win, I wonder...

Thank you so much for your work. Is it useable with Freecad 0.17?

Incredible. Question, could one make an appimage to expedite the effort to test instead of getting it all built?

Edit: pinged @probonopd on gitter https://gitter.im/probonopd/AppImageKit ... 4b5bbc228c to ask for some assistance.

Can you confirm if you copy/paste this in FreeCAD Python console it works on your side?

Code: Select all

from asm3.assembly import AsmDocumentObserver

P.S. If yes are you sure you don't have any additional environment related "tweaks" enabled on your side? Is there a chance you could do a test on stock Ubuntu 16.04? That is compile your FreeCAD branch (i don't have it installed as after compiling ./bin/FreeCAD is how i run it). And test Assembly 3 module against it? Could be something is borked on my side as i still am experiencing some import issues on my side. As a side effect i do get Assembly 3 toolbar but there is no Constraints toolbar and things like that. On the plus side both SolveSpace and SymPy + SciPy solver backends are imported successfully!

from asm3.assembly import AsmDocumentObserver

I don't think this should work, but it may have worked for some older builds of FreeCAD. ~/.FreeCAD/Mod is definetly not in sys.path for the current FreeCAD master! So please use old style:

Code: Select all

from assembly import AsmDocumentObserver

or port to the new workbench structure:

As i use the same FreeCAD branch as @realthunder (and likely the same OS - Ubuntu 16.04) we should experience the same issue. I have a hunch @realthunder might have tweaked something to make it work on his side. And as that is not available by default for general testing indeed likely imports will need to change as pointed out by @looo and as mentioned in the previous thread.

You have compiled his https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD/tree/LinkStage3 ? It only works with it

That was part of a previous attempt to solve name-clashes.

You are doing exactly the same as I am doing, i.e. running directly from a build directory, with maybe one exception. I put the asm3 module directly in Mod directory of the build directly (well, actually through a symlink), instead of ~/.FreeCAD/Mod. I vaguely remember having some issue putting the module there early development.

Yup, just tried it. It doesn't work in ~/.FreeCAD/Mod. Try Mod in the build directory, it shall work fine there. I'll migrate to the new style for sure, but may take a while, because things at work.
