[fcxref] External Cross-Document Reference & Links Manager

Post by gbroques »

Hi all,
I'm currently working on a FreeCAD project that involves a "Master" or "Main" spreadsheet and many documents (~65) that reference aliases in this spreadsheet.

It became increasingly difficult to know all the places where I was referencing aliases in the "Main" spreadsheet, and even more difficult to rename them.

To make this easier, I created "fcxref" (FreeCAD external references), a project that does this by parsing the Document.xml files in compressed .FCStd files.

I'm looking for feedback, testers, and to start a dialogue about changes or improvements.

Please see the GitHub repository and let me know if you think it's useful. Thanks! :)
