using Extension

Post by damian »

Hello:

Code: Select all

>>> doc=App.newDocument()
>>> App.setActiveDocument("Unnamed")
>>> App.ActiveDocument=App.getDocument("Unnamed")
>>> Gui.ActiveDocument=Gui.getDocument("Unnamed")
>>> obj=doc.addObject("App::DocumentObject")
>>> obj.addExtension("App::OriginGroupExtensionPython", obj)
>>> obj.PropertiesList
['ExpressionEngine', 'ExtensionProxy', 'Group', 'Label', 'Origin', 'Placement']
>>> 
Please, how could I consult the available Extensions? I suppose that there are more types, in addition to "App::OriginGroupExtensionPython"
I was reading the code, but I don't understand anything (¡ni papa! )

Thank you

currently there are only 3 Which are the 3 grouping mechanisms:

App::GroupExtensionPython: Grouping only
App::GeoFeatureGroupExtensionPython: Local Coordinate System
App::OriginGroupExtensionPython: Local Coordinate System with visible Origin

but note that just adding the extension like you do will not work with save/load mechanism. The whole concept is intended for creation of custom types and should be used like dynamic properties.

Can you provide an example that will work, please?
