Mesh WB: how to specify preferred default settings

[uwestoehr]

I have to create several meshes of parts Iconstructed with FC. I found out that these mesh settings are optimal for all my parts:

Mesh-settings-ideal.jpg (26.19 KiB) Viewed 1394 times

and therefore I want to make these settings the default. But in the mesh preferences I can only specify the maximum mesh deviation, not more. (Btw. I found the minor issue #3838).

So the question is if what I want is possible or would be a feature request.

It turned out it is a missing feature. Therefore I created now a feature request: issue #3841

This also bugged me long time..

i made a macro for that task..

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# Create a Standard MESH on on click from the current object.
# Parameters are coded in Macro . I use them to 99.9% for 3D STL´s
# Macro Begin: makestl.FCMacro +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
import FreeCAD
import Mesh
import MeshPartGui, FreeCADGui
import MeshPart

#Get the current FreeCAD Document Object
__doc__=FreeCAD.activeDocument()
Gui.activateWorkbench("MeshWorkbench")

#Get the Name of the current selected Object
sel = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection()
Nameelement = sel[0].Name
#Print the Name
App.Console.PrintMessage(str(Nameelement)+"\n")

#instantiate a Mesh
__mesh__=__doc__.addObject("Mesh::Feature","Mesh")
#Get the Object selected
__part__=__doc__.getObject(Nameelement)

#Copy it´s Shape
__shape__=__part__.Shape.copy(False)
__shape__.Placement=__part__.getGlobalPlacement()


#Mek the Mesh with Standard Parameters
__mesh__.Mesh=MeshPart.meshFromShape(Shape=__shape__, LinearDeflection=0.1, AngularDeflection=25, Relative=False)


#rename the new Mesh and put into View
__mesh__.Label=Nameelement+" (Meshed)"
__mesh__.ViewObject.CreaseAngle=25.0

#Make the Feature invisible
Gui.getDocument(__doc__).getObject(Nameelement).Visibility=False
#Clean Up
del __doc__, __mesh__, __part__, __shape__

# Macro End: makestl.FCMacro +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


takes the selected elemet, creates a STANDARD mesh , makes source invisible and mesh visible

Many thanks Harry! Works perfect.

Great news:
Werner kindly implemented last week the feature to store the last used meshed settings (git commit 6797fa615f761be2c69f7e351e52d5a9814d864b).
Therefore I don't need a macro anymore, I just enter the values I like and they will be proposed as default for any further call of the mesh generation dialog.
So check out the latest FC 0.19 build.
