Shall we add it to the Addon Manager ?

I didn't look yet how the Addon Manager works. If it's a link to the repository and not a snapshot of this certainly buggy draft, I'm ok.

Yes, it's a link to the repo not a snapshot. It may look like a snapshot but the underlying logic always references the most up to date version of the main branch of the addon.

Edit: You'll need to add a metadata file that references all the dependencies the workbench relies on.

Where is the doc about this metadata file ? Does it list all dependencies or only FreeCAD workbenches ?

FreeCAD can now controls Pure-Data throw 2 objects :

• [fc_selObserver] get real-time selection information
• [fc_objObserver] bang when the mouse hovers the defined FC object

Lets' rock !

Update to the last FCPDWorkbench to get them. Piano is available in FCPDWorkbench_Samples

Hi,
I found a way to autogenerate Pure-Data patch linked to a python function (see the dev_tools directory). NB : there are no PD embedded help yet but inlets are commented when you open patches.

So all Draft.make_* are know available in FCPD, see you soon for Part.make* ones. Done !

Edit : demo for draft, part and parametric objects was added to FCPDWorkbench_Samples git

Hi !
I wrote a new object : [fc_controler] is quite similar to DynamicData_Workbench but with an external link to Pure-Data.
So you can use Pure-Data flow as input for an expression (and vice-versa set Pure-Data flow from expression).
It's an easiest way to control your models.

On Pure-Data side, [fc_controler] inlets are connected to IncommingData properties and outlets to OutgoingData ones.

I like to test PD workbench, can give me some instructions to install/confiugre and first steps?
Thanks.

Hi !
Install

1. Clone the git repository in your FreeCAD Mod path
2. Install Pure-Data and required external libraries or Purr-Data which includes them.
3. Launch FreeCAD
4. Load the FCPD workbench
5. Set your Pure-Data binary path in the workbench preference page

First steps

1. Open a FreeCAD document
2. Load the FCPD workbench
3. Start Pure-Data and internal FreeCAD server by clicking Launch Pure-Data in the FCPD menu or toolbar
4. The opening client.pd window implements the connection to FC, don't close it.
5. Create a new patch from PD File menu
6. Add your needed [fc_…] objects, they are automatically connected to FreeCAD

Take a look in the fcpd-workbench/pdlib/ directory for available objects. Some of them are pd-documented (RMB/Help in PD) and/or listed in the FCPD-help.pd file.

I follow the instructions and test examples not working, I have errors .
I attached screenshot.
In these example I can make the cube but error when drag to move.
