Macro Airfoil Import & Scale/cs

Select The File

Enter Chord Length

Once the airfoil file has been selected, a new dialog will appear asking for a chord length. Any length may be entered, in millimeters. Once your desired length is entered, the Macro will produce a Draft Wire (DWire) following the points described in the previously selected .dat airfoil file at the scale you entered for the chord length.

# This Macro, when run, will first provide the user with a file browser to
# locate and select a .dat airfoil text file. Once selected, a chord length is
# entered and upon pressing the OK button, a properly scaled airfoil is
# produced. There are two versions provided here. Version 1.5 should work on
# FreeCAD versions, 0.13 stable as well as all 0.14 versions. Version 2 should
# only be used with FreeCAD versions equal to or greater than 0.14 3077 and
# will work best with versions built with OCE/OCC versions 6.7 or greater (See
# the Wiki page for all available version).
