Editing part information

[electromuis]

When trying to edit the part information fields I get the following error:

12:58:23 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Electromuis\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Mod\Assembly4\.\infoPartCmd.py", line 594, in accept for prop in infoPartCmd.partInfo: <class 'AttributeError'>: type object 'infoPartCmd' has no attribute 'partInfo'

Assembly 4 version: 0.50.12
FreeCAD version: 0.21.2

yeah I know, PartInfo and BOM are broken. I hoped that someone would come up with a good solution, but they all bring some personal solution. I'll bring back my old limited code.

What fields do you think should a PartInfo have ? My suggestion currently is:

• PartName
• PartRef
• PartType
• Author
• Description
• Material (or density)

These should be filled by the designer. Additionally, I thought about adding following fields that are filled by the software :

• volume
• weight
• CoG
• Ixx
• CutLength

These are easy for Bodies (links-to bodies) but more difficult for Parts (and therefore sub-assemblies)

Got a similar problem. Actually, I get a truncated BOM with the BOM workbench, it lacks any field apart from Number, Qty, Label, Description and File information. To be fair, I haven't typed in any PartInfo whatsoever. I worked with bodies, sketches and padding and created an assembly out of it. IMO a BOM should just take the measurements of the bodies/parts and sum it up (if that only was so easy...). Also most PartInfo can be autofilled if not specified: Name = Name of body, of file etc. Author = name of user. Material = no autofill (not necessary for simple woodworking).

That said, using the generic BOM function of Assembly4 doesn't work at all here.

Latest versions on linux.
