Summary	0003040: Cura Engine integration on Mac
Description	The Cura engine workbench seems not to be supported on the Mac. When creating a new printer I have `Running the Python command 'createMachineDef' failed: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/FreeCAD 2.app/Contents/Mod/cura_engine/Commands.py", line 51, in Activated panel = MachineDef.PrintBedTaskPanel() File "/Applications/FreeCAD 2.app/Contents/Mod/cura_engine/MachineDef.py", line 246, in init self.form = uic.loadUi(self.homeDir + "/.FreeCAD/Mod/FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/MachineDef.ui") File "", line 4, in Cannot open file` To fix this I had to do mkdir ~/.FreeCAD ln -s /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Mod/ ~/.FreeCAD/ However even with this mod the program will fail later on. First of all the path has to be set to the Cura engine /Applications/Cura.app/Contents/MacOS/CuraEngine but even so things are not working. I have then to do the following diff FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/SlicerPanel.py /Applications/FreeCAD.app/Contents/Mod/FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin/SlicerPanel.py 172c172 < docDir = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.FileName.replace(docName + ".fcstd", "") --- > docDir = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.FileName.replace(docName + ".FCStd", "") 257c257,260 < _cmdList.insert(1, "-v") --- > _cmdList.insert(1, "slice") > _cmdList.insert(2, "-v") > _cmdList.insert(3, "-j") > _cmdList.insert(4, "/Applications/Cura.app//Contents/Resources/resources/definitions/101Hero.def.json") 259a263 > _cmdList.append("-l") In this way a file is produced, however... this is really a poor-man solution. BTW, I have to add one printer at random. There should be a default file and a pull-down menu
Steps To Reproduce	1. Install the Cura workbench according to instructions https://github.com/cblt2l/FreeCAD-CuraEngine-Plugin 2. Try to create printer

normandc 2017-05-20 17:03 manager ~0009064	As explained in the forum topic, the Cura Engine Plugin is a third-party plug-in that is not part of official FreeCAD. Therefore this bug report has no place here. An issue should be created in the Github repository instead.

federico.carminati@gmail.com 2017-05-20 17:07 reporter ~0009065	I created the issue in the corresponding repo. You can close. Thanks for the remark. Best
