Workbench Design in FreeCAD
From Open Source Ecology
- Start by going into Mod and observing what happens in D3D Workbench
- See minimalistic workbench by Stephen - https://github.com/skaiser/FreeCAD_Workbench_Starter
- Steps to experiment with when creating workbenches:
- First step - just use FreeCAD without command line, using existing functions
- Python console automatically creates commands there
- Go to View->Panels->Python Console
- Do a FreeCAD console command
- Do a macro to do the same thing
- Write a Python module
- When finished testing, put the code into workbench
