How-to determine global coordinates of a circle or arc?

Thanks for the tip. Copy/Paste works great for vertices!
I'm happy.

Therefore built in selection observer! The only drawback i see is a lot of other informations gets through this way not only selection stuff. Out of curiosity i looked in the code and this i guess could be reused to get Selected message to the status bar. That is to have the following behaviour:

• Preselected: 3s (or slightly increased value)
• Selected: always on or lets say 30s (that is until mouse moves and preselected message is available again).

Would it make sense to explore this further? As copy/paste wouldn't work i am not sure if it makes sense or not.

I vote no if copy/paste is not functional.

Actually i tested this and it works good. Therefore i will go for it. It adds additional feature currently not existing and everything else works the same. That is Selected message is added on selection to status bar and it doesn't have a time limit.

As for the method you currently use i don't know how old is your build but latest master if Release build is made it won't work any more:

The message will get printed in Report view only if you use debug build.

Thanks again. I consider this solved.

hi
yes triplus copy/paste Function_resident_with_the_mouse_click_action for not reinvent the world (right is easy)

i have modified the macro for use with button :

1: run the macro
2: select your object
.... the Observer is removed
3: copy/paste the infos in the report view

enjoy

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
class SelObserver:
    def addSelection(self,doc,obj,sub,pnt):  # Selection
        print doc    # document
        print obj    # object
        print sub    # sub object
        print "Coordinates point mouse     : ",pnt    # coordinate point mouse
        try:     # triplus code
            coor = Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].SubObjects[0].Curve.Center
            print "Coordinates center circle X : ",coor.x
            print "Coordinates center circle Y : ",coor.y
            print "Coordinates center circle Z : ",coor.z
            print "Radius circle               : ",Gui.Selection.getSelectionEx()[0].SubObjects[0].Curve.Radius
        except Exception:
            None
        print "_____________________"
        FreeCADGui.Selection.removeObserver(s)    # desinstalle la fonction residente
s=SelObserver()
FreeCADGui.Selection.addObserver(s)               # installe la fonction en mode resident
