Description

The Std Refresh command recomputes the active document. The command is disabled if no recompute is required.

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Recompute button.
   • Select the Edit → Recompute option from the menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+R.

Options

• If no recompute is required and the command is disabled, a recompute can be forced:
  1. Do one of the following:
     • Select one or more individual objects in the Tree View.
     • Select the document in the Tree View to include all objects.
  2. Select the Mark to Recompute option from the context menu.
  3. Invoke the now enabled command as described above.

Notes

• Please do not confuse this command with the Std Recompute command.
• For a macro to recompute the active document see: Macro ForceRecompute.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To recompute a document use the recompute method of the document object:

import FreeCAD

doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument
doc.recompute()

The same method is available for objects in the document:

import FreeCAD

doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument
for obj in doc.Objects[0:3]:
    obj.recompute()

To mark an object for recomputation use the touch method of the object. The code below corresponds to forcing a recompute by selecting the document as explained in Options:

import FreeCAD

doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument
for obj in doc.Objects:
    obj.touch()
doc.recompute()
