Using PyCharm as editor

[more11]

I want to use PyCharm as an editor.

How do I get rid of the errors? I cannot figure out how to add FreeCAD as an exernal library in PyCharm.

Any help appreciated.

I have downloaded PyCharm and when running it the very first time you have to define the path to the Python interpreter. If you define the path to the python.exe of the FreeCAD installation then using the FreeCAD module seems to work fine.

I installed the FreeCAD python as project interpreter. Still got plenty of errors.

Now I have an ubuntu based setup. I still cannot figure out how to edit python files in PyCharm. I have added /usr/lib/freecad/Mod as a Content Root.

I haven’t used PyCharm Community in a while, but this is how I configured my project settings to be able to import the FreeCAD modules.

Open your PyCharm project then select File -> Settings

In the settings dialog, expand the Project:<name of project> and select "Project Structure"
In the far right column select "+ Add Content Root" and navigate the folder you want.
On my system the folder is "/usr/lib/freecad-daily/lib", yours may be different.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Sal

This is exactly what I have done. But I still get "No module named Part" and "Unresolved reference FreeCAD".

I have tried

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/freecad-daily
/usr/lib/freecad-daily/lib
/usr/lib/freecad-daily/bin
/usr/lib/freecad-daily/Mod

Marten,

Are you trying to run the code inside PyCharm?
I only ask because I have run into issues were the code is not executed consistently.
For example the code in the screen shot runs in debug mode, but if I create a new file it cant even find the FreeCAD source.

Have you looked Eclipse with the PyDev add in? I'm going to give it a shot and see if its any easier to configure.

Please keep us up to date, I think many people would like to see how to utilize an IDE to develop FreeCAD code.

Marten,

I just want to clarify that i understand your question. You want to use PyCharm editor and configure it so that it shows you what is available inside the module that has been imported. First I wanted to mention that I was NOT able to configure PyCharm to work, however I went away and did a little research and found that Eclipse with PyDev works.

I installed the IDE including the PyDev module and then created a new project as shown in the next 3 images.

Finally I created a file and entered 2 lines of code
import FreeCAD
FreeCAD.
After you enter the dot, the window opens and shows all the functions inside the FreeCAD module.

Is this what you were expecting?
