Personally, I don't use A2plus and Assembly. There are two reasons for that:
However, I don't say no for A2plus or Assembly support, I even don't know if this is the same thing. I should look at this more closely. But I need sample simple file with such objects that should be supported.
You can provide file sample? I need A2plus installed? or something else? But not huge. Just simple 2 Cubes created with A2plus or whatever it is called. Maybe simple operation on that you use often. I will look at it and tell you if this is possible to calculate such objects.
Please see attached - one file containing a simple cabinet. Another containing an assembly of two aforementioned cabinets. The generated getDimension report shows nothing.
(you need A2plus installed from AddonManager)
I think I found a great workaround - using Assembly4!!! Your script works just fine there - see example. (Assembly4 required from AddonManager)
I will try to look at A2plus and Assembly more closely, maybe this week. Let me keep this issue open to remember about it.
So looks like Assembly 4 ? it is called like this ? is supported but the A2plus is not supported... but I will look into that.
Nah just forget A2plus - it does not even support linked objects (Std_MakeLink) so unusable as such...

Many people use Assembly and A2plus so maybe there is field to improve better integration with those extensions. For example I am thinking to make single button click to create Links and LCS for each Part or LinkGroup. I don't know if there is such thing or not at Assembly 4? For example if you create model you could click single button, some kind of "export to Assembly" and this would create all needed LCS and Links for your model.
I will look at A2plus and Assembly 4, but first need to learn a little bit more about it, how to use it.
Darek - my workflow now consists of assembling ready-made furniture pieces together into a larger build. For example, for different cabinet types I have several template FreeCAD files which are fully parameterized, e.g. for shelves, cabinets, cabinat doors etc.. When building a larger project I then compile the build by composing various template files in A2plus. Do you have any plans supporting external parts? Thanks!
