Workbench unusable in FC 0.19 due to changed Python functions

[donovaly]

• use the menu to load the example file

result: you get this warning: "Enumeration index -1 is out of range, ignore it"

• let's ignore this and move on by pressing the button "Create Bolt Group"

result: <Part> ViewProviderExt.cpp(1325): Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of example#trajectory_line021 <Part> ViewProviderExt.cpp(1325): Cannot compute Inventor representation for the shape of example#trajectory_line021 264.696 <App> Document.cpp(3462): Failed to recompute example#Pocket005: No object linked Recompute failed! Please check report view.

This might come because of the new link feature of FC. If so, I can bring this issue to the FC forum.

• now select 2 edges of your choice and press the button "Create Simple Group"

result: you get this error: Running the Python command 'CreateSimpleGroup' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\stoehr\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\ExplodedAssembly\EAInit.py", line 71, in Activated ea.createSimpleDisassemble() File "C:\Users\stoehr\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\ExplodedAssembly\ExplodedAssembly.py", line 213, in createSimpleDisassemble dir_vector = selection[-1].SubObjects[-1].normalAt(0, 0) function takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)

It seems the FC python functions have changed and ExplodedAssembly must be adapted accordingly.

Are there any plans to support 0.19?

[donovaly]

It seems this workbench is orphaned. However, the assembly workbenches A2plus and Assembly4 supports now already some animations. Nevertheless a real explode workbench would be very valuable.

Thanks for the pointers!

After Installing A2plus and Assembly4 I got the EA workbench to move objects around (strange enough). Either it is related to some module provided externally or I was simply selecting the wrong things before (as I had never used the EA Workbench before).
