Hello, I have been using FreeCAD as a hobbyist for a few years now. I use the Configurations feature in spreadsheets for almost all my work. I searched for a good, automated way to assign aliases to multiple cells. I found an 'Alias_Manager' macro but it was old and didn't match the layout of the Configurations table (it was assuming a 'part family' was defined in a column but a Configuration table is laid out in a row). I reworked the macro I found and now want to share it. I need to have a post to get wiki edit permissions via a PM so here is my first post.
Please advise how I will know when I have been approved. Thx...

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
Interesting! I use the easy alias macro all the time and configuration tables are on my to do list. Sounds like you've solved a future problem of mine

Last night I did spend some time with easy alias (newly available) and I learned about away to get a list of selected cells which changes some of the way I want the macro to work...in fact might be two macros, one for set (either below or next to the source label) and one for clear.
I will start a post later today...however the subforum you cited is about Assembly...did you mean the Python scripting and macros viewforum.php?f=22 subforum?

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
Hi,
I'm a rank beginner with FreeCAD (had a very long fling with SketchUp but am no longer employed and can't justify the cost of the subscription) and chose to read Yorik van Havre's manual as my starting point.
I commenced reading and, having worked in schools for too long, quickly started spell checking and analysing grammar, with the intent of telling Yorik what I thought should be corrected, when it struck me that I should probably just do it myself, it being hosted as a wiki, me having tons of time on my hands and all...
Next: DM Yorik and others to get editor perms for the wiki...
cheers
Samps

Re: How to get wiki editing permissions
Good first post showing why you want editing permissions.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Hello there!
I believe there is an error in the documentation about STL Export. By loading the Mesh workbench, you can specify the export resolution better than changing the view settings. I can probably write this section in the docs if I get access
