Re: python API Power users hub

after cllicking the mouse twice. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working? Back in FreeCAD version 0.17 I believe the Part.Line command was changed to Part.LineSegment, therefor change line 17 in exercise.py from: l = Part.Line(self.stack[0],self.stack[1]) to: l = Part.LineSegment(self.stack[0],se...

Re: python API Power users hub

It seems like lately everything is outdated on the power users hub. I'm trying to learn to write scripts, and I recently tried the example line drawing function found here: https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Line_drawing_function. Followed all the directions as best I could (exactly as laid out), but w...

Re: Using Visual Studio as Python editor

I found a simple solution to the ssl problem that seems to have worked. I merely downloaded and installed Win64 OpenSSL from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html, and now I have been able to install the extra packages!

Re: Using Visual Studio as Python editor

Looks interesting! I'm going to try it out. Do you know offhand if the .env file setup works basically the same on Windows as shown on that page for linux (of course using slightly different path syntax)? I'm a Windows user with this functionality, my .env file in the macro folder looks like: FREEC...

Re: Using Visual Studio as Python editor

Re: Using Visual Studio as Python editor

I did a print(os.environ) from inside Freecad, and the PATH variable looks to have everything I would need to somehow add to my custom python env. for Freecad. Is there a script somewhere inside freecad that sets that all up? 'PATH': 'E:\\FreeCAD_0.19\\bin\\lib\\site-packages\\PySide2;E:\\FreeCAD_0....

Re: Python version from git pull versus prebuilt

Since I'm just getting my feet wet with programming for Freecad, at this time I have started my first item as a macro, using the latest conda builds with python 3.7.3. It should keep me busy for awhile. My only programming for the last few years has been writing macros for autodesk inventor using vi...

Re: Python version from git pull versus prebuilt

Yes, basically to a tee. I didn't see where it mentioned any configuration options for the python version to use, so I figured it was kind of hard coded into the source. Not sure how the conda build version I downloaded was built? If you use the libpack, the python comes with the pack. And the pack...
