If you execute the code in the python console you can view the members and their values of the current object. You have probably a Curve and not an Edge. Of course: a circle is a curve and not made of edges :D So what do I do to make a PathProfile? Maybe I have to select another Script like PathFro...

I have tried to get an edgelist. This works fine for a Rectangle. But with a circle it gives an error: mywire=TechDraw.findShapeOutline(myobj.Shape, 1, Vector(0,0,1)) <class 'Part.OCCError'>: GeometryObject::projectShape - error occurred while projecting shape I am not so much astonished as a circle...

Thank you, sliptonic! :) Much of the complexity in Path has to do with handling user selections, making guesses at depths, keeping track of tools, etc. Be careful you don't start trying to reinvent all those wheels too. That's effectively something that stresses me a bit for the moment, that I have ...

Now I can generate a contour path by script. The next step is to attack the profile path. I have looked at the code which seems to be more complex, while part of this complexity lies in guessing the base object as it seems to me. I have not fully understood which kind of object this must be. May it ...

Actually my code seems to work! :D I didn't notice because I forgot FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute() at the end. Another thing is that I updated Freecad - daily ton 0.17R10101 The Path module I use is an older one however, can't tell from when. (I wanted to keep this as it had made me nice G code ...

I have progressed a little bit in understanding the Path scripts. Now I am able to create a path Job object and set my parameters: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # Macro for initializing Path Job and setting tool and feed rate import FreeCAD import PathScripts.PathJob as PathJob import PathScripts.PathLoad...

I am at the other computer now ( where I have problems ) and just verified the version it is: OS: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.17.9747 (Git) Build type: None Branch: master Hash: f5c0f579cbd7ce668727f8835946e4e9abc0eec6 Python version: 2.7.6...

Thank you, sliptonic.
That seems to be the information I needed!
I'll have a look at it as soon as I can.

Sorry, I did not mention the version. Could not, as I was sitting in another room with my students writing a test, and my machine far away. While posting this, the situation is the same. I'll try to make some progress documenting my problems ;) -- The good news however is that I tried at home, and t...

You'll have to be more specific about what you're looking for. For a start, I have one specific question: When I press the "Create Contour Path" button, where do I go in PathScripts? Where is the entry point? To create a path job, I have done this: obj = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject(&...
