Introduction

FreeCAD Manipulator WorkBench

Manipulator WB is aimed to help FreeCAD users in Aligning, Moving, Rotating and Measuring 3D objects through a friendly GUI.

Features:

Aligner: a set of tools to move and align 3D parts

Mover: a set of tools to move and rotate 3D parts on different Axis

Caliper: a set of tools to measure 3D parts, with some Snap facility and Radius, Length, Angle measurements.

These helpers work with Part, App::Part and Body objects.

The Tools can be Floating or Docked Left or Right.

Each Tool has a Help Button to get some useful tips
