Re: Save image for printing
Not that I'm aware of but anyone can feel free to add it, or if someone points me in the right direction I could do it.

Re: Save image for printing
If you're on OSX (and possibly Linux) printing the image is a simple as this:
Code: Select all
def printFile(filePath):
from subprocess import call
call(["lp",filePath])

Re: Multi-processor geometry computation
Huh not a bad idea! I could just load my model into each instance and only "render" a subset of my connectors in each instance. I'll try that and see how much speedup I get. It'd be nice to have something more automated / general purpose. How about having multiple instances of FreeCAD runn...

Multi-processor geometry computation
Hi all, I'm working on a project where I use code to create a large number of small connectors for 3D printing. It takes about 30 seconds to compute the geometry for each connector (in a FeaturePython part). I want to split up the geometry processing to multiple processor cores. Any recommendations ...

Yeah, the chair looks great! I updated the macro to fix the filename encoding bug, thanks!

Re: Save image for printing
I updated the macro to request an image with a white background. On my Mac I still get a transparent png, so if that doesn't work you can change the file name in the macro to .bmp to get a white background (but much larger file). Interesting about the Cyrillic, I can think how to fix it, or you coul...

Save image for printing
Here's a little macro I made to save an image of the current view suitable for printing. You get a 300dpi PNG in landscape format in your project directory. Any comments appreciated. import os def exportViewToPNG(): '''Exports the current view to a PNG suitable for printing on A4 or Letter. The file...

Re: FreeCAD-VR: Oculus Rift
Do you think it's possible to use this code for side-by-side stereo, like on a 3D projector? I wonder if it's as simple as turning off the distortion? I have a projector that does side-by-side stereo and it would be great to see my models in 3D on the big screen

(SOLVED) Re: Scrolling Combo View->Model to currently selected object?
Ok, here's what I did. Macro->Macros->Create Macro code: Gui.SendMsgToActiveView("ViewSelection") Gui.runCommand("Std_TreeSelection") Save as "zoom_selection.FCMacro" UPDATE: The macro has to be part of the current toolbar or the Global toolbar (and then restart) for th...
