Macro Compound Plus

Description

Draft command set in a small macro for the 2D wire example: work with the DXF files. The macro detected : Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, BSplineCurve and reproduce the DXF wire in a Draft object. The text is converted in ShapeString.

Usage

Choice

• Compound I Type I [1 + 1 = 1] : Create one compound unique of all objects selected without history.
• Compound II Type II [1 + 1 = A (1 + 1)] : Create one compound of all objects selected with history of all objects. Same "Menu → Part → Make compound".

Option color

If it checked the colour to object to work are coloured (edge, vertex)

• Color  : Gives a colour to object. (Default Red 255, 0, 0)

Tools

• LineEdit : display (Iindex of Font / Number of font) the path and name of the font.
• Convert Text (A) : convert the text in a shape string (The height of the text converted is respected but the visual result may not be respected, see the Combo view property for confirm). (A) is Automatic value height of text.
  • 0,00 Auto  : If the spinbox is egual 0.0 the heigth of the VALUE of the text is respected, if other of 0.0 the Convert Text (A) change to Convert Text (M) manual.

• Convert Wire (A) : This command convert the wire in one line with coordinates. (ex: one compound downgraded does not have coordinates, this function create a line with the coordinate as Draft line and reproduce the DXF wire in a Draft object are detected: Line, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, BSplineCurve.
  • 0,00 Auto  : Gives a thickness of the wire. If the spinbox is egual 0.0 the heigth of the VALUE of the text is respected, if other of 0.0 the Convert Wire (A) change to Convert Wire (M) manual.
• BezierCurve : By default the BezierCurve detected is , if it is checked the BezierCurve is Cubic and the button change Cubic BezierCurve

• FlatLines : The objects created is FlatLines.
• Wireframe : The objects created is Wireframe.
• Points : The objects created is Points.
• UpGrade : UpGrade
• DownGrade : DownGrade

For Compound I and Convert Edge

This section work only with the tools Compound I, Convert Text (A) and Convert Wire (A)

• None : Everything originals objects remains as it is.
• Hidden original objest(s) : Hidden the originals objest(s).
• Delete original objest(s) : Delete the originals objest(s).

Force on a form : Line

If the object line, arc or circle is not reconized (as form in a volume 3D object), this section force the creation of Line, Arc or Circle.

no verification is done, this section tray to create a requested shape 2D (Draft) based on the data provided

• Lines : Tray to create a Line.
• Arc : Tray to create a Arc.
• Circle : Tray to create a Circle.
• Force on : Line : Button Force

Command

• ProgressBar
• Reset : Reset the macro
• Quit : Quit the macro, bye
• Help : Display the wiki page in the FreeCAD browser
