Der Arbeitsbereich Manipulator ist ein externer Arbeitsbereich mit dem Ziel, FreeCAD-Anwender beim Ausrichten, Verschieben, Drehen und Messen von 3D-Objekten mit einer freundlichen Benutzerschnittstelle (GUI) zu unterstützen. Diese Reihe von Werkzeugen hilftdabei, die Lage eines Objekts zu verändern und Objekte und STEP-Modelle in FreeCAD zu vermessen.
Ausrichter: Ein Werkzeugsatz zum Bewegen und Ausrichten von 3D-Bauteilen. Es kann auch ein Objekt (Fläche, Kante, Punkt) zum Ursprung von FreeCAD ausrichten.
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

Aligner: set of tools to move and align 3D parts; it can also align an object (face, edge, point) to the origin in FreeCAD
Mover: set of tools to move and rotate 3D parts on different Axis
Mover: Using App:Part and Body
Mover: with External Reference
Caliper: measuring Radius
Caliper: measuring Angles
Caliper: measuring Dimensions
Caliper: measuring Dimensions (cont.)
Caliper: parallel planes distance
The recommended way to install the Manipulator Workbench is via the Addon Manager under the Tools → Addon Manager menu.
If a manual install is necessary please follow the following instructions:
cd ~/.FreeCAD/Mod
git clone https://github.com/easyw/Manipulator Manipulator
The workbench evolved out of the Center Align Objects with Faces or Edges macro
FreeCAD workbenches are easy to program in Python, there are therefore many people developing additional workbenches outside of the FreeCAD main developers.
The external workbenches page has some information and tutorials on some of them, and the FreeCAD Addons project aims at gathering them and making them easily installable from within FreeCAD.
New workbenches are in development, stay tuned!
