LibreLink for LibreOffice

[daleroe]

I expected it to be more user friendly however, I got it working, sort of. I'm not getting correct results. The values reported in LibreLink are 6.451597 times the sketch dimensions. I'm working in inches. I have no idea what I did wrong or if this is a bug.

The values reported in LibreLink are 6.451597 times the sketch dimensions.

Looks like an error in the code doing the conversion. 1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 * 2.54 = 2.54
1 *2.54 *2.54 = 6.4516
2.54 x 2.54 = 6.4516
Possibly an error in code editing and left one too many "* 2.54" in the code
Just a thought.

In my experience LibreLink only supports Libre Calc values defined in centimeters.

Looks like you nailed it, now hopefully they will examine the code and make the necessary correction.

Thanks for the video David. Any progress on the inch conversion bug?

The attached zip contains an (inch-based) Alibre Part file as well as a Libre Office Calc file. Please not the "adjustmane" (/(2.54^2)) I had to make to get the EE Values come out correctly in inches. Is there an explanation that makes sense?

Hi Cadtec,
Some news regarding to this topic:

We are currently looking at the option of adding the ability to change G Variables. It would help if we would hear some thoughts of others.

Thanks in advance.
