Preferences Editor/de

Die Einstellungen für FreeCAD finden sich unter (bzw., falls Original-Sprache 'English' eingestellt).

FreeCAD´s Funktionalität ist in verschiedene Module unterteilt, wobei jedes Modul zuständig ist, für die Bearbeitung eines bestimmten Arbeitsbereiches. FreeCAD verwendet ein Konzept namens Spätes-laden, das bedeutet, dass Komponenten nur geladen werden, wenn sie gebraucht werden. Sie haben vielleicht schon bemerkt, dass, wenn Sie einen Arbeitsbereich aus der Symbolleiste von FreeCAD wählen, dass dieser Arbeitsbereich und alle seine Komponenten erst zu diesem Zeitpunkt geladen werden. Das trifft auch auf die Einstellungen zu.

Ohne ein Modul geladen zu haben, stehen Ihnen 2 Konfigurations-Bereiche zur Verfügung, verantwortlich für allgemeinen Einstellungen des Programms und für die Anzeige-Einstellungen

Klicken der Schaltfläche in der linken unteren Ecke jeder Einstellungen-Ansicht setzt alle der FreeCAD-Einstellungen auf die Standardwerte zurück.

Die allgemeinen Einstellungen
Starten Sie FreeCAD beispielsweise ohne einen Arbeitsbereich zu laden, haben Sie dann auch nur ein minimales Einstellungs-Fenster. So wie Sie zusätzliche Module laden, werden neue Abschnitte in dem Einstellungs-Fenster angezeigt, die Ihnen ermöglichen, die Details der einzelnen Arbeitsbereich zu konfigurieren.

Allgemeines


In the General tab you can specify the following:

Dokument


In the Document tab you can specify the following:

Editor


The editor preferences settings affect the behavior of the macro editor. This editor can be opened using the menu. Note: the color and font settings also affect the Python console. This console is shown using the menu.

In the Editor tab you can specify the following:

Ausgabefenster


In the Output  tab you can specify the following:

Makro


In the Macro tab you can specify the following:

Einheiten


FreeCAD entwickelt sich ständig weiter, die aktuellen Inhalte können also von den obigen Bildern abweichen. Die Einstellungen sind in der Regel selbsterklärend, Sie sollten daher FreeCAD problemlos für Ihre Bedürfnisse konfigurieren können.

Die Anzeige-Einstellungen
This preferences section has up to 3 tabs:

3D View


In the 3D View tab you can specify the following:

Farben


In the 3D View tab you can specify the following:

Teilefarben
This tab is only shown if you are in the Part or PartDesign workbench or if you have been in these workbenches before.



In the Part colors tab you can specify the following:

Import-Export settings
The Import-Export settings affect how files are imported and exported to and from FreeCAD. Note that the Import-Export preferences dialog offers file type settings for most workbenches but not every workbench is able to import/export all file types.

FreeCAD supports many file formats. For the following file formats it offers to apply special settings:

DAE
The Collada DAE (digital asset exchange) format is a standard file format for exchange of Mesh data. The Arch workbench can import meshes from .dae files, and export Arch and other Shape-based objects to the .dae format. The Collada import functionality in the Arch module depends on pycollada. If it is not installed on your system, Collada import/export will be disabled.

For the DAE format you can specify the following:

DWG
DWG (from drawing) is a proprietary binary file format used for storing two- and three- dimensional design data and metadata. Since it is a closed source file format it cannot be directly supported by FreeCAD. Therefore the external file converter ODA is required.

For the DWG format you can only specify the path to ODA. But note: All settings for DXF file format also apply to DWG.

DXF
AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange File Format) is a proprietary format to exchange CAD data between AutoCAD and other programs.

For the DXF format you can specify the following:

IGES
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) file format is a file format that allows the digital exchange of information among CAD systems. Since the specification for the STEP file format was published, the development of IGES was stopped in 1996. It is nevertheless still supported by many CAD programs.

The tab IGES is only shown in the preferences if you are in the Part or PartDesign workbench or if you have been in these workbenches before. For the IGES format you can specify the following:

IFC
Industry Foundation Classes (IFC) is a wide spread format to interchange data between BIM applications, used in architecture and engineering.

For this format you can specify the following:

INP
INP is the input file format for the FEM software Abaqus. It is used for the solver CalculiX in the FEM workbench.

The tab Abaqus INP is only shown in the preferences if you are or if you have been in the FEM workbench before. For the INP format you can specify the following:

Mesh formats
Meshes are a special type of 3D object, composed of triangular faces connected by their vertices and edges. They are widely used for additive manufacturing. The FreeCAD provides the Mesh workbench to create and handle meshes. FreeCAD supports the file formats AMF and its predecessor STL, OBJ, OFF, PLY and SMF.

The tab Mesh formats is only shown in the preferences if you are in the Mesh workbench or if you have been in this workbench before. For the Mesh formats you can specify the following:

OCA
The OCA file format is a community project to create a free, simple and open CAD file format. OCA is largely based on the GCAD file format generated by gCAD3D. Both formats can be imported in FreeCAD and the OCA files exported by FreeCAD can be opened in gCAD3D.

For the OCA format you can specify the following:

STEP
The standard for the exchange of product model data (STEP) file format is an ISO standard for the computer-interpretable representation and exchange of product manufacturing information. STEP is therefore commonly used to exchange 3D data between CAD software. STEP files have the suffix .step or sometimes .stp.

The tab STEP is only shown in the preferences if you are in the Part or PartDesign workbench or if you have been in these workbenches before. For the STEP format you can specify the following:

SVG
Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a vector image format for two-dimensional graphics. The vectors make SVG are very useful for technical drawing programs like FreeCAD's TechDraw because a vector image can be scaled to any size without losing its shape or amount of details. SVG can be scaled to any required resolution and converted to bitmap formats like PNG or JPEG for printing.

For the SVG format you can specify the following:

VTK
The Visualization Toolkit (VTK) is an open-source, freely available software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization. VTK files are used by the FEM workbench for the post processing of simulation results.

The tab VTK is only shown in the preferences if you are or if you have been in the FEM workbench before. For the VTK format you can specify the following:
