Macros

Object creation

  • Macro Make Cube: creates a rectangular cuboid from 4 points
  • 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 Geodesic Dome: This macro creates a geodesic dome shell
  • Macro Line Length: Create a line giving coordinate XYZ length and angle to plane X Y
  • Macro cutLine: Cut a line and create x points, giving the number of points, create line or not, create points or not, create bicolor or not on choice.
  • Macro circle: Create a circle or arc giving radius, diameter, circumference, area, startangle, endangle, arc, anglecenter, cord, arrow, center (point) on choice.
  • Macro cutCircle: Cut a circle or arc and create x arcs, giving the number of cut.
  • Macro triangleAH: This macro create one triangle creates a triangle by giving the head angle and the height of the triangle (the triangle of the head is positioned to the xyz coordinates 0.0)
  • Macro FCTexture: Create a project from a bmp image to create a texture easily
  • Macro FCCreaLoft: Create a loft with a list of wire (specially created for Macro Texture see above)
  • Macro FCCircularText: This macro create a text around a cylinder
  • Macro WireXYZ: This macro creates a Wire with the coordinates extracted from a file. The coordinates X Y Z are separated by a space.
  • Macro ReproWire: This macro reproduce all element selected subobject wire or face.
  • Macro Apothem Based Prism GUI: A GUI dialog that creates an Apothem, (inradius) Based Prism from user input.

Object transformation

  • Macro ArrayCopy: copies the selected object several times, on an array grid
  • Macro FlattenWire: flattens draft wires that are not planar to their median Z coordinate
  • Macro FlattenWire3Points: flattens draft wires that are not planar to a plane defined by 3 points

How to use?

Macro how to install
Macro how to install

The above macros can easily be plugged on any FreeCAD installation

  • 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 :
* {{MacroLink|Text-x-python|Macro My Excellent Macro|Macro My Excellent Macro title}} : My excellent macro description.
  • 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}}

(With the icon custom) 

{{Macro|Icon=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Name=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Description=What my excellent macro does|Author=your username|Version=1.0}}

(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}}

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

{{Macro/fr|Icon=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Name=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Name/fr=Macro_My_Excellent_Macro|Description=
 What my excellent macro does|Author=your username|Version=1.0}}
  • 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 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: 

#OS: Windows Vista
#Platform: 32-bit
#Version: 0.14.3389
#Python version: 2.6.2
#Qt version: 4.5.2
#Coin version: 3.1.0
#SoQt version: 1.4.1
#OCC version: 6.5.1

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: 

__Title__="Title_Of_macro"
__Author__ = "User_Name"
__Version__ = "00.11"
__Date__    = "25/07/2015"

__Comment__ = "This is the comment of the macro"
__Web__ = "http://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7384"
__Wiki__ = "http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Macro_Title_Of_macro"
__Icon__  = "/usr/lib/freecad/Mod/plugins/icons/Title_Of_macro"
__IconW__  = "C:/Documents and Settings/YourUserName/Application Data/FreeCAD"
__Help__ = "start the macro and follow the instructions"
__Status__ = "stable"
__Requires__ = "freecad 0.14.3706"
__Communication__ = "http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:User_Name"
