  • Macros are Python programs in FreeCAD that can be used to add functionality to FreeCAD. Sometimes these programs require supporting data files, such as CSVs or PNGs - or whatever supporting data that the macro requires.

Adding Downloaded Macros

  • To add a macro to FreeCAD - find the Macros directory by going to FreeCAD->File->Preferences->Macros - which shows the macros directory such as /home/marcin/.FreeCAD
  • Download a macro
  • Drag and drop the macro into the Macros directory
  • Drag and drop any supporting data files into the same directory
