How to use?
The above macros can easily be plugged on any FreeCAD installation
 * Starting from FreeCAD v 0.17, a new Tools → Addons Manager allows you to easily install any macro from this page. The instructions below must still be followed if your version of FreeCAD doesn't have the Addons Manager yet.
 * Copy the macro python code from the corresponding macro page
 * In FreeCAD, Macro → Macros → Create new, and give it a name
 * Paste the python code you copied
 * Hit the Save button, and restart FreeCAD
 * Open the Macro manager, select your new macro and click "execute"
 * Tutorial How to install macros

Additionally, you can also add your new macro to a custom toolbar
 * In FreeCAD, go to Tools → Customize
 * In the Macros tab, add a new macro, and, if you like, define an icon and a keyboard shortcut
 * In the Toolbars tab, create a new toolbar, and add your macro, taking it from the "Macros" category.
 * Tutorial Customize Toolbars

Adding new macros to this repository

 * Create a new page, beginning its name with "Macro", for example "Macro_My_Excellent_Macro", this can be done simply by editing this page, and adding a new link to your macro, like this:


 * example :


 * Text-x-python : icon by default (replace with your name icon with the exact same name as your macro page if there is. The format always .png only)
 * Macro My Excellent Macro : macro name
 * Macro My Excellent Macro title : macro name or title

A new page (red link) will be created.
 * In that page, paste the following text:

(With the default icon)

{{Macro|Icon=Text-x-python|Name=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Description=What my excellent macro does|Author=your username|Version=1.0|Date=YYYY-MM-DD}

(With the icon custom)

(Another language with the default icon (example "/fr" "/de" "/it"....))

{{Macro/fr|Icon=Text-x-python|Name=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Name/fr=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Description= What my excellent macro does|Author=your username|Version=1.0|Date=YYYY-MM-DD}

(Another language with the icon custom (example "/fr" "/de" "/it"....))

Note that the name of the icon must have the same name as the name of the macro.
 * You can also Upload a custom format icon.png
 * example: " Macro_My_Excellent_Macro " without extension (the extension is given by the system), and, replace " Icon=Text-x-python " by " Icon=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro "
 * Text-x-python [[Image:Text-x-python.png|32px]] is the default icon of the page dedicated to the Macro.


 * Paste your macro, and use the Code template to avoid adding spaces into your script. This will display the macro in a monospace font inside a light grey box like the example above.
 * If you like, upload a .png icon with the exact same name as your macro page (ex. Macro_My_Excellent_Macro.png)
 * Add an image: an image is useful to show what the macro does. Optionally you can create an animated gif that represents the object in context. The gif image should have a maximum size of 500x500px as the wiki does not resize animated gifs; if the gif is any bigger the animation won't work.
 * Optionally you can add some more info on how to use your macro, tips, limitations and workaround.
 * It is also interesting to include version information in your macro. This macro allows you to locate in time compared to the evolution of FreeCAD, do "Menu → Help → About FreeCAD and click to Copy to clipboard" and paste it your macro

Ex:

It is also advisable to create a macro in your header, this header can be used by the Plugin Loader program to install the macro and check versions. Also available addons_installer.FCMacro

Ex:


 * Add it to the above categories, create a new category if needed.

Adding new macro page with macro code extra wiki
If your macro is too big (+64Ko) and does not fit in the wiki page, use the   template by giving the address of the RAW page of the macro

The template must always be placed at the beginning of the page below the Description (must be the first code detected by the addonManager macro, in case there are code examples in the page, if a sample code is detected is this code that will be installed and not the code of the macro)

Example given:
