Flamingo Workbench

Introduction
"Flamingo tools" is a set of commands, collected in different toolbars, made to speed up some actions in FreeCAD. It is available among the list of official addons, so it's possible to get it using the addons-installer macro.



CommandsFrame.py: that is one simple toolbox of 12 commands to arrange frames, trusses and similar in FreeCAD with the Arch`s Structure objects. Read tutorialFrame.pdf for more informations.

CommandsEagle.py: that's basically an addition, and shortcut, to the very fine FreeCAD-PCB workbench, to import position of objects from a .brd Eagle's file on a PCB drawn in FreeCAD with the a.m. workbench relating only on their names. -> "If the parts in the group Parts of the .FCStd file have the same name of the parts in the .brd file, they will be moved to the position of the PCB specified in the .brd file." Read tutorialEagle.pdf for more informations

CommandsPolar.py: to import a set of polar coordinates from a spreadsheet and use them to draw a sketch. That is for future development of a project that includes also a prototype electronic board and a ultrasonic range finder...



CommandsPipe.py: new toolbar under development from September '16. Read tutorialPype.pdf for some anticipations. Read tutorialPype2.pdf for more specific features.
