Re: Assembly 4 workbench
Hi, I'm unable to insert simple parts (made by Part WB) into assembly. Insert Part dialog window contains no items even if they are loaded. I've tried creating a simple part by PartDesign WB - then Insert Part dialog sees it.
What I'm doing wrong? Those parts created by Part WB have no LCS in them - may it be the cause?
FreeCAD 0.20.2, Assembly4 v0.12.4

Re: Assembly 4 workbench
I haven't found any instructions saying that you should create a part in a new assembly and then somehow link to it the already existing part. All tutorials that I've seen are related to importing PartDesign'ed parts or even merely building a new part after creating a new part in assembly.
Re: Assembly 4 workbench
That's good news then, because such instructions wouldn't work

Re: Assembly 4 workbench
Assembly4 is working mostly starting from Part Design WB, and creating his parts using a peculiar way.
So probably you must follow a proper tutorial, as mixing objects created using "Part Design WB", with object created using "Part WB" is not always possible.
LCS could be added, but you must follow the proper way using what is advised in Assembly4 tutorials:

Sadly first page:
viewtopic.php?p=292576#p292576
Is reporting old links, but the advise on the top of page will direct you on the new place.
@Zolko It will be possible to change links on first post?

Re: Assembly 4 workbench
It's bad because reading Assembly4 instructions you have no idea about some problems with parts made by Part WB.
Here a guy somehow managed to assemble his parts (viewtopic.php?style=1&t=64933) and that post inspired me to try this way.
As I'm a newbe in using FreeCAD it looks like I've chosen may be a wrong way to get it all working.
Should I come over to old good A2Plus?
Re: Assembly 4 workbench
Well, I've rebuilt my parts (Part WB), now making sure pressing yellow button (New Part) after creating a new documents. And now my parts have origins in them (looking like LCS), and now those parts are seen in Insert Part dialog window. They have weird names for now, but I'm sure to deal with this. And then there comes some trick with coordinates, I need to investigate it more thoroughly.
