Workbenches/zh

FreeCad和许多现代设计应用程序一样，如Revit或 CATIA，都基于 工作台的概念. 工作台可以看作是为某个任务专门归类的一组工具. 在一个传统的家具车间里，你会有一张工作台给木材工人，另一张给金属件工人，也许还有第三张给把所有零件组装在一起的工人.

在FreeCad中，同样的概念也适用. 工具根据与之相关的任务分组归类到工作台中.

当您从一个工作台切换到另一个工作台时，界面上可用的工具会发生变化. 工具栏、命令栏和界面的其他部分会切换到新的工作台，但是场景的内容不会改变. 例如，您可以使用草图工作台开始绘制二维形状，然后使用零件工作台对它们进行进一步处理.

Note that sometimes a Workbench is referred to as a Module. However, Workbenches and Modules are different entities. A Module is any extension of FreeCAD, while a Workbench is a special GUI configuration that groups some toolbars and menus. Usually every Module contains its own Workbench, hence the cross-use of the name.

Built-in workbenches
The following workbenches are available on every FreeCAD installation:


 * [[Image:Workbench_Arch.svg|24px]]                The Arch Workbench for working with architectural elements.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Complete.svg|24px]]     The Complete Workbench hold all commands and features from all the modules and workbenches which met certain quality criteria.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Draft.svg|24px]]     The Draft Workbench contains 2D tools and basic 2D and 3D CAD operations.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Drawing.svg|24px]]   The Drawing Workbench for displaying your 3D work on a 2D sheet.
 * [[Image:Workbench_FEM.svg|24px]]       The FEM Workbench provides Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workflow.


 * [[Image:Workbench_Image.svg|24px]]     The Image Workbench for working with bitmap images.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Inspection.svg|24px]]             The Inspection Workbench is made to give you specific tools for examination of shapes. It is still in development.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Mesh.svg|24px]]           The Mesh Workbench for working with triangulated meshes.
 * [[Image:Workbench_OpenSCAD.svg|24px]]  The OpenSCAD Workbench for interoperability with OpenSCAD and repairing Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) model history.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|24px]]      The Part Workbench for working with CAD parts.


 * [[Image:Workbench_PartDesign.svg|24px]] The Part Design Workbench for building Part shapes from sketches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Path.svg|24px]]    The Path Workbench is used to produce G-Code instructions. It is still in a stage of development. Only basic functions in 0.16
 * [[Image:Workbench_Plot.svg|24px]]            The Plot Workbench is used to edit and save output plots created from other modules and tools.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Points.svg|24px]]     The Points Workbench  for working with point clouds.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Raytracing.svg|24px]]          The Raytracing Workbench for working with ray-tracing (rendering)


 * [[Image:Workbench_Reverse_Engineering.svg|24px]]   The Reverse Engineering Workbench is intended to give you specific tools to convert shapes/solids/meshes into parametric FreeCAD-compatible features. It is still in development.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Robot.svg|24px]]     The Robot Workbench for studying robot movements.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Ship.svg|24px]]     The Ship Workbench FreeCAD-Ship works over Ship entities, that must be created on top of provided geometry.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Sketcher.svg|24px]]  The Sketcher Workbench for working with geometry-constrained sketches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Spreadsheet.svg|24px]]   The Spreadsheet Workbench for creating and manipulating spreadsheet data.


 * [[Image:Workbench_Start.svg|24px]]      The Start Center Workbench allows you to quickly jump to one of the most common workbenches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_TechDraw.svg|24px]]       The TechDraw Workbench is the more advanced and feature-rich successor of Drawing
 * [[Image:Workbench_Test.svg|24px]]       The Test Framework Workbench is for debugging FreeCAD.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Web.svg|24px]]        The Web Workbench provides you with a browser window instead of the 3D-View within FreeCAD.

External workbenches
FreeCAD workbenches are easy to program in Python, there are therefore many people developing additional workbenches outside of the FreeCAD main developers.

The external workbenches page has some information and tutorials on some of them, and the FreeCAD Addons project aims at gathering them and making them easily installable from within FreeCAD.

New workbenches are in development, stay tuned!
