Version 0.4.0 is out for testing! https://github.com/thopiekar/CuraSolidWorksPlugin/releases/tag/0.4.0

Like Gigi mentioned try the 0.3.7 version (latest currently). Ultimaker just has not published it on their plugin server so far - https://github.com/thopiekar/CuraSolidWorksPlugin/releases

Well, it is not well documented, but you can take a look at my project page. I also have a prove of concept of an SolidWorks plugin. Also for Blender, but this has currently some issues, but I know too less about Blender, so no idea where the issue is from. Could be either the script I wrote or the blender file I downloaded from thingiverse. However, if you are interested to jump onto the development of the plugin I have feel free. PS: If you have ideas just send me an mail. Let's keep the topic at the SolidWorks integration

Good morning guys, please send me your logs, so I can get an better impression what is going wrong. Thanks and hope we can fix your issues soon!

Great, I'm asking for the update functionality, because I directly code out of the plugins directory in the Cura configuration directory. This I don't download any plugins from the browser, etc. Nice to hear it works well. As far as I know there was still the version 0.2.0 on the download server at Ultimaker. Might be that they uploaded the latest release of the plugin now. Well, I used CATIA at my university. Planning together with Ultimaker to work on this. I could work in the lab in my university and develop this plugin, but I don't know at which conditions the licence has been sold to my university. So to not get in trouble I wait until eg. Dessault Systemes cooperates (they are still deciding) or not.

No problem. How did you update the plugin? Is an update advertised in the plugin browser? I'm not that familiar with the development of it. Yeah, the macro needs a major update and needs to be shirked a lot. Wanted to do that, but my SolidWorks is broken at the moment. Whenever I want to edit an macro it crashes :( Hope I can improve it for you all soon!

Nope this should no happen. Are you using the plugin since Cura 2.7? PS: I never had the time to track the oldest version, which is able to be used, but since the first version of the plugin, which was released in the plugin browser in Cura 2.7 a lot of things have changed to increase stability. Please remove the plugin if needed from cura's config directory

Haha, after installing libglvnd-dev on Ubuntu I get the same. But now after installing my cura crashes immediately thopiekar@home:~$ cura Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben) However, using the PPA here...

Interesting I also have NVidia drivers installed.. However, I don't think you need the *-devel package. The regular libraries shall be enough.

Just reserving this thread for questions between plugin users and sharing the latest state of work here. Additionally, feel free to add ideas for improvements, which are important for you as issues to the project page. Looking forward to stimulating and inspiring ideas! Thanks!

Don't think I need to comment this: https://github.com/thopiekar/CuraSolidWorksPlugin

Off-topic: that should not be the case. Have you reported this? To my eternal shame I must admit I haven't... I've got a great deal of stuff to deal with at the moment Also I'm using the @thopiekar PPA so I guess it's not really an Ultimaker maintained codebase. Guess what you want, but I can guarantee that I just package Cura and it's direct dependencies. If it is really the case that directories are chosen in a wrong order (or whaever is misbehaving) then it is a bug in Cura. I only modify my packages in case Cura is unusable due to a bug in a stable release. Nothing more. Regards!

Well, in my point of view it is a prove that the KDE people at Linux Mint are doing things wrong

No problem. Good luck in solving your problem

Well, if you want a KDE desktop then install Kubuntu directly. I don't think the Kubuntu developers care about any Mint installation

The only reason I see is that @ndimensional is/was using another PPA with eg. KDE updates, so packages with more recent Qt libraries were included. One mistake is often that people think that disabling a PPA reverts all upgraded packages, but in fact you have a system with mixed (and unmaintained) packages. If this is the case then re-enabled the PPA you were using before and purge it with "ppa-purge" or use apt-pinning methods to downgrade all packages to a version, which are available in at least one of your repositories. So yeah, there are different ways to repair a system, which is in your broken state

Ok, overlooked this message somehow. What's needed is a "apt update; apt-get install -f; apt-get dist-upgrade" here. However, looking for the reason like I was planning to do would at the end point at the troubling package I think.

What is the output when trying to install python3-pyqt5? I wouldn't say it is about updates. Guess it is more about something that was upgraded or changed at the basic python packages by the Mint developers. Currently I have not the time to look on my own for the reason why it fails, but if someone can show me the true (detailed) reason, then I can maybe help

I'm German, so thats no problem. Next time just put "LANG=C" in front of your command. It will make your application return everything in English (default programming language). Please post the output of "sudo apt install python3-uranium". Thanks!

Hey, if you still like to use the PPA, then just provide full outputs for the errors you get. Also on which Ubuntu LTS is Mint 18.1 based on? Need all the info to understand what is going wrong on you side

Hey @aahlborg, I'm glad to hear that it was at least worth to reinstall Ubuntu on your desktop. Just let me know if there are further problems Regards

No problem. Since I've updated my PPA to 2.4 last weekend, do you notice any changes?

Good question. I'm using Ubuntu YakketyYak aka 16.10 on my own I never got any problems so far. The only reason I can think of is that I missed a dependency, but as far as I can see from @aahlborg terminal output I see no output that mentions a missing module or any other component. @aahlborg: Just to be sure. You are using my stable PPA, isn't it? - https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/ubuntu/cura

Hello everybody, because translating Cura is currently not easy for everyone, I thought about trying out an service by launchpad.net. Currently Cura is being translated by its own translation files and by the files in our framework, called Uranium. First I would suggest to try to get full translations for Uranium and then finish the work on Cura itself. Before you begin: First decide whether you really want to translate Cura into your language. There will be a lot of texts and you will likely need to update your translations on every release, as texts change or new ones are added. Requirements You will need a launchpad.net account and a browser of your choice. If you really decided to translate Cura into your language, leave a comment here with your language code, I create empty translation files and set here everything up. It might take some time, if not even hours. So enough time to take a coffee... or better two.. How it works: You login to launchpad.net with your user account and visit the translations page for Uranium. On that page click on your language and you can begin to translate. Hints: Often you will find %s or {1}, etc, in the texts. These are placeholders. For example if there is an error message saying "An error occurred while opening the file %s", %s will be the path or the filename. Forgetting these placeholders or leaving them out lead to errors in Cura. Probably Cura would not crash without them, but your translated would probably not appear or even worse Cura might misbehave. So do not forget to add them to your translations. When translating some texts there are also suggested translations from other projects. These probably do not fit to the rest of Curas context or even do not contain or contain wrong formatting. Use them with caution.

For me the download starts here. Make sure you tell what is your use case or select the last one: "Don't want to share any information" This screenshot is from "Show all versions" page, as I'm on Linux. Hope it helps.
