Introduction

The A2plus workbench is an external workbench to assemble different parts in FreeCAD...

Installing

The A2plus workbench is an addon to FreeCAD. It can easily be installed via the menu Tools→Addons Manager. A2plus is under active development and will get new features frequently. Therefore you should update it regularly using also the menu Tools→Addons Manager. The A2plus code is hosted and developed on GitHub and can also be installed manually by copying it into FreeCAD's MOD directory.

Getting started

At first switch to the A2plus toolbar in FreeCAD. To create an assembly create a new file in FreeCAD. At first this file needs to be saved. It is recommended (but not necessary) to save it in the same folder of the parts you want to assemble.

Now parts can be added to the assembly by using the toolbar button .
To edit a part from the assembly, select it in the model tree and use the toolbar button . This will open the part into a new tab in FreeCAD unless the part is already opened in FreeCAD.
To import changes in parts into the assembly click on the toolbar button .
