Hello,
I'm a newbie to FreeCAD and Python and want to show the visible parts of the active document from different sides with a short pause in between.
The attached macro don't produce an error but only the last specified view is visibly executed at the end of the macro.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Willy

Hi!
this is because your script is running in the same thread as FreeCAD. So while your script causes the thread to sleep, FreeCAD sleeps too, consequently it stops processing events, which is required to render the view.
I think there is a way to force a redraw, I just don't know it.
