added Bill of Materials workbench to .gitmodules

[APEbbers]

This is a workbench to create Bill of Materials with support for different types of assemblies. Currently this workbench works with:

• a2plus
• Assembly 3
• Assembly 4
• internal assembly workbench (in progress because this wb is still under development)
• AppLink
• AppPart

I'm still working on this workbench, but i believe it is now in a state that it can be usefull already. The support for the following assemblies, workbenches and futures are planned for the future:

• support for the Arch WB
• support for multi-body parts (Part WB)
• One function to support a mixed structure of all assembly workbenches
• A function to add the BoM to a TechDraw page template
• Mass calculation based on shape and material

Hello @APEbbers, thanks for the new WB. I see that your package.xml asserts a dependence on PySide6 and shiboken6, but your actual code depends on PySide2 and shiboken2. Neither of these things is desirable: to fix it you should first remove the stated dependencies in your package.xml file. FreeCAD will provide the required versions of PySide and Shiboken, you don't need to list them there. Second, in your Addon you should not import directly from any version of PySide (e.g. don't use PySide2 or PySide6, but rather simply use PySide -- FreeCAD provides wrappers that will select the correct version. So for example, from PySide import QtCore. Then, make sure you don't use any Qt5-only features, such as QRegExp.

Hello @chennes ,

I've modfied the files. I've changed PySide2/6 into PySide. I've done this also for the UI files generated by QtDesigner. But am I correct that this means that I have manually change the files that are created by QtDesigner when I update or change the interface?

Kind regards,

Paul

Yes: Qt doesn't have the notion of supporting both Qt5 and Qt6 with the same code.
