* It can be embedded in the viewer, so the user doesn't have to install a separate distribution of libraries. Lua has a bunch of advantages even over python.

#Freecad python scripting examples software#

This discussion may be of interest to you, though it is not UI-based and none of the software has been open-sourced (yet): ĮDIT: Looks like Inkscape can do a few vaguely CAD-like things with 'live path effects', but it's by no means a proper constraint solver. I think the closest you can get now is UI design software with constraint features, but that software isn't really made for free-form work like Illustrator/Inkscape.

There are the CAD programs, like SolveSpace/AutoCad/QCAD, but they aren't really designed for illustration: you would have to constantly export the blueprint to style it. (If any startup people are looking for ideas, here's your million dollar opportunity.) I'd love a parametric vector (+ image) editor it's an unfilled niche. It is possible to do visual debugging of objects by using the debug() function to display an object instead of show_object().I have also long desired something like this. alternatively, instead of rgba you can provide separately both options.Tuple (r, g, b, a) with r,g,b in range and a in range.String css style like '#RRGGBB' or '#RRGGBBAA' with RR,GG,BB,AA hexa in range.CadQuery Color see Assembly colors for a list of valid color name.

rgba (you can use one of those to define it):.group: String in FreeCAD you can organize your parts within Groups, providing a group name.first parameter is a valid CadQuery object.You need use the show_object(cq_obbject ) method to render your model in FreeCAD Use the standard FreeCAD Editor settings to change the Font, Font size and python color scheme. Dock Widget Layout allow to change the FreeCAD dock widgets layout for more convenience.Note: You may need to restart FreeCAD to have above new settings taken in count.When False is set, user will be prompt to reload or not the file when a change on disk is made.

#Freecad python scripting examples code#

This allows users to use their preferred code editor instead of the one included with this workbench.

Allow Reload automatically reloads and executes the open script when an external change is made.

Show Line Numbers show/hide the line numbers in cadquery editor.

Execute on Save Automatically Rebuild a script every time you save it.

Key-binding you can set your own shortcuts to Execute, Validate or Rebuild commands.

This button expand all groups in the Tree View.

Expand Tree Groups when using group in the show_object() method, FreeCAD collapse all the groups.

Those scripts come from CadQuery project. They're a great tool for learning CadQuery.

Examples Holds a list of all the CadQuery examples that are bundled with this workbench.

Settings open the Settings dialog box, see below for details.

This comes in handy during a heavy script debugging session.

Clear Output (Alt+Shift+C) clears all output from the Report View.

Toggle Debug Script when toggle on, debug() objects will be displayed in FreeCAD.

Variables Editor is reset from the values in the script.

Rebuild Script (F5) Rebuild and execute the script.If you add a new variable in the script and run again Execute, the new variable is not added into the Variables Editor. Variables use values from the Variables Editor. Execute Script (F9) Execute cadquery script and display objects in FreeCAD.Validate Script (F4) Execute cadquery script but do not display the objects in FreeCAD.Save Script As Open a Save As dialog box to save current script.Save Script (Alt+Shift+S) Save current script.Open Script (Alt+Shift+O) Open a pyton script file.New Scirpt (Alt+Shift+N) Start a new script from a template file.To Show/Hide the Editor, use the standard FreeCAD View-> Panels from the menu. It opens CadQuery Editor and CadQuery variables Editor panes on the right DockWidget of FreeCAD. In FreeCAD, select CadQuery workbench from the Workbench dropdown list in the Workbench toolbar.
