Description

The Path Workbench contains, by default, a set of hidden features. They are hidden by default because they are developmental or experimental for the following reasons:

  • is an incomplete feature
  • is bug-ridden
  • is unstable
  • does not produce correct, stable, safe, paths
  • is not a standard, regularly used tool in the traditional CAM workflow
  • is a mature, ready tool that has not been moved to the standard tool list
  • ... other reasons

Access

To access the hidden experimental features in the Path Workbench, the user must enable them. To enable Experimental Features:

  1. Open 'Tools' menu, and select 'Edit Parameters... ->BaseApp ->Preferences ->Mod ->Path'.
  2. Right click in the parameter list area to obtain the actions pop-up menu.
  3. Create a new Boolean parameter.
  4. Name the new parameter: EnableExperimentalFeatures (case-sensitive).
  5. Set it to: True.
  6. Save the settings.
  7. Reopen FreeCAD.

The experimental tools should appear in the Path Workbench.
