I'm not familiar of c++ scripting examples in FC. We use the Python API (see FreeCAD Scripting Basics) to automate FC.

Why do you want to use C/C++ ? FreeCAD has a nice Python API to do that.

Hello OpenBrain, i am using pharo smalltalk , so my task is to connect pharo with freeCAD . So i am familier with C/C++ . thats why i am asking

what makes you think that this is possible ?

hi zolko, my teacher ask me to find something using C/C++ example to create a cube in FreeCAD because my task is to connect pharo smalltalk with freeCAD , as pharo can use C/C++ by UFFI. if i can find something to use in freecad using c than i can able to try to connect pharo and FreeCAD

my task is to connect pharo smalltalk with freeCAD

OK, I reformulate: what makes your teacher believe that this task is achievable ?

See the Part module Python interface routines in ...Mod/Part/App/AppPartpy.cpp.
All the C++ code to create a Box and display it is in there. Just remove anything
that looks like Python interface code.

#996 Py::Object makeBox(const Py::Tuple& args)
//makes a box shape. This is just a shape. It needs to belong to a feature in order to
//be seen in the document.

#705 Py::Object show(const Py::Tuple& args)
//adds a feature to the current document. One of the parameters is the shape
//created above.

Can't help you with faro/smalltalk/UFFI. Also not sure how you use this code without the rest
of FreeCAD, but I guess that is part of your assignment

hi wandererfan, can u tell me where i can find the code ?

hi zolko, as we can communicate with c library using UFFI in pharosmalltalk , so we want to find something in c what can communicate with freeCAD, thats why we believe that this task maybe achievable. thanks
