Esta página contiene macros para añadir funcionalidad a tu instalación de FreeCAD

Object creation

 * [[Image:Macro_makeCube.png|16px]] Macro makeCube : creates a cube from 4 points
 * Macro draw2DFunction: draws a function described by an equation z=F(x)
 * Macro drawParametric2Dfunction: Based on the above macro, but for parametric and optionally polar equations.
 * Macro Solid Sweep: creates a solid by sweeping a 2D profile along a trajectory previously selected in the 3D view. The 2D elements can be created through the regular tools in FreeCAD's GUI.
 * Macro Rectellipse: creates a parametric rectellipse
 * [[Image:Macro_Draft_Circle_3_Points.png|16px]] Macro Make Circle 3 Points: creates a circle on 3 selected points, the points can be objects (this example brings together the two examples below, all parameters simply settle on a graphic window).

 * [[Image:Macro_Draft_Circle_3_Points.png|16px]] Macro Draft Circle 3 Points 3D: creates a circle from 3 selected points in the space 3D
 * Macro screw maker1_2: This macro creates a screw with or without thread, according to ISO standards (screw_maker1_6.py.zip with Pyside support). (Screw Maker 1.7 - the best so far!)
 * [[Image:Macro_BOLTS.png|16px]] Macro BOLTS: The aim of BOLTS is to build a free and open-source standard parts library for CAD applications.
 * Macro Ellipse-Center+2Points Makes an ellipse by selecting three points (in this order): centre, major radius and minor radius
 * Macro Airfoil Import & Scale : Imports and scales a .dat airfoil to desired chord length.
 * Macro 3D Parametric Curve: Draw a function described by parametric equations x(t), y(t) and z(t).
 * Macro Line Length: Create a line giving coordinate XYZ length and angle to plane X Y
 * Macro FCTexture: Create a project from a bmp image to create a texture easily
 * [[Image:FreeCAD Doc.png|16px]] Macro PartsLibrary: Starts the Parts library browser
 * Macro BoundingBox Tracing : This macro red trace (editable) around the BoundingBox with 6 rectangles

Object transformation

 * Macro ArrayCopy: copies the selected object several times, on an array grid
 * Macro FlattenWire: flattens draft wires that are not plane to their median Z coordinate
 * Macro MeshToPart: converts selected meshes to parts
 * Macro JointWire: allows to find and joint all non connected edge to the closest non connected one using a line
 * Macro Remove parametric history: removes all parametric associativity from an object, leaving it as a "dumb" shape
 * Macro SuperWire: Forces the creation of a Wire from lines and arcs that don't necessarily touch each other. Use this if normal wire operation fails
 * Macro HealArcs: Sometimes arcs are transformed into BSplines, for example when scale operations have been applied to them. This macro recreates valid arcs from them. Useful before exporting to dxf
 * Macro FaceToSketch: Converts the selected Face to a single Sketch without constraints.
 * Macro EdgesToArc: Converts the selected Edges to a circular Arc if possible. Useful for restoring discretized arcs.
 * Macro CloneConvert: Creates a clone of the object and the converted in the chosen position and size (inch, mm, m, µm...). The base object is recognized in mm (FreeCAd base)

Operaciones de vista 3D

 * Macro Rotate View Esta macro gira la vista actual 90º hacia la izquierda. Solo funciona si estas en la vista en planta.
 * Macro View Rotation Proporciona una interfaz gráfica de usuario GUI que permite rotar la vista una cantidad determinada en las tres direcciones.
 * Macro Texture Objects Esta macro permite poner temporalmente una imagen de textura en los objetos seleccionados.
 * Macro Mouse Cross This small macro turns the arrow of the mouse in a precision cross
 * Macro Align View to Face This macro aligns the current view to a selected face

Wizards

 * Macro Automatic drawing: allows the user to get the view of his object in a drawing with 4 different position(front,top,iso,right). Need some modification to be perfecly effective
 * Macro Corner shapes wizard: pops up a dialog asking for the dimensions of your corner piece, then creates the object in the document and creates a page view with top, front and lateral views of the piece
 * Macro CartoucheFC: This GUI macro to fill simply all fields of the cartridge of the plan implementation worksheet FreeCAD, the format of the date and the symbol of the projection mode adapt to the EU region or US selected.
 * Macro CartoucheFC Full: (Full field edition for this Templates) This GUI macro to fill simply all fields of the cartridge model 1 of the plan implementation worksheet FreeCAD, the format of the date and the symbol of the projection mode adapt to the EU region or US selected.
 * Macro CartoucheFC 2: (Full field edition for this Templates) This GUI macro to fill simply all fields of the cartridge model 2 of the plan implementation worksheet FreeCAD.
 * Macro unrollRuledSurface: allows to unroll ruled surfaces and to draw them on a page.
 * Macro unfoldBox: allows to unfold the surfaces of a box of any shape and to draw them on a page.

Utility

 * Macro MessageBox: shows how to give information to the user through the GUI.
 * [[Image:FCInfo.png|16px]] Macro_FCInfo : Gives a series of information about the selected shape and can display a conversion of length, inclination (degrees, radian, grade) shape, surface, volume and the weight of the form in the density selected in various international and Anglo-Saxon units
 * Macro 3d Printer Slicer: Exports current design to slicer software or CAM software.
 * Macro Delta xyz : Gives the Delta values and the distance between 2 points
 * Macro CenterFace : This macro red trace (editable) the center face (mass) with 1 point and print the coordinates

Cómo utilizarlas?
Las macros de arriba pueden añadirse fácilmente en cualquier instalación de FreeCAD
 * Copia el código Python de la macro de la página de la macro correspondiente
 * En FreeCAD, Macro->Macros->Crear Nueva, y se le asigna un nombre
 * Pega el código de Python que has copiado
 * Pulsa el botón de guardar el archivo y reinicia FreeCAD
 * Abre el administrador de Macros, selecciona tu nueva macro y pulsa en "ejecutar"

Adicionalmente, también puedes añadir tu nueva macro a una barra de herramientas personalizada
 * En FreeCAD, ve a Herramientas -> Personalizar
 * En la pestaña de Macros, añade una nueva macro, y, si quieres, define un icono y un atajo de teclado
 * En la pestaña Barras de herramientas, crea una nueva barra de herramientas, y añade tu macro, seleccionándola de la categoría "Macros".

Añadiendo nuevas macros a este repositorio

 * Crea una nueva página, empezando su nombre por "Macro", por ejemplo "Macro_Mi_excelente_macro", esto se puede hacer simplemente editando esta página, y añadiendo un enlace a tu macro, como este: "Macro My Excellent Macro: My excellent macro" . Una nueva página (enlace en rojo) se creará.
 * En esa página, pega el siguiente texto:

(With the default icon) (With the icon custom) (Another language with the default icon (example "/fr" "/de" "/it"....)) (Another language with the icon custom (example "/fr" "/de" "/it"....))
 * You can also Upload a custom format icon.png Note that the name of the icon must have the same name as the name of the macro.
 * 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   preformated text wiki tags 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)
 * 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:


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