<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Description">Description</span></h2>
|
|
<p>When working with FreeCAD there are times when you want to quickly change the Drawstyle of the object you are working with. This is available through the Drawstyle pull-down menu where any Drawstyle may be selected. This macro makes 2 of the Drawstyles available as a clickable button on a toolbar which the user may click to toggle back and forth between the two Drawstyles. The user can modify the macro code to select which 2 Drawstyles they wish to toggle between. This does not add functionality missing in the Drawstyles pull-down menu, but rather an increased convenience level.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Installation">Installation</span></h2>
|
|
<p>Installation is comprised of copying the two code to the appropriate Macro directory and invoking it from the Macro menu. It is much preferable to add it both to a toolbar so as to be more easily available.

|
|
<li> see <a href="Customize_Toolbars.html" title="Customize Toolbars">Customize Toolbars</a> for information how to install as a button on a toolbar</li></ul>
|
|
<p>PS: You must adapt the macro to your language:
|
|
</p><p>example with German language, replace the code (lines 41, 42)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>drawstyleA = "As is"
|
|
drawstyleB = "Wireframe" </pre>
|
|
<p>to:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>drawstyleA = "Original"
|
|
drawstyleB = "Drahtgitter" </pre>

|
|
<b>Note</b>: The specification for each Drawstyle is listed in the code, by modifying the code (which is documented in the macro code) the user may select which 2 Drawstyles are toggled between.

#Macro: Toggle Draw Style
|
|
#
|
|
# This macros allows the user to switch between different Drawstyles by clicking on
|
|
# the button of a Macro in a toolbar.
|
|
#
|
|
# initial code:triplus
|
|
# macro-isation:piffpoof
|
|
#
|
|
# This macro switches (or toggles) between 2 selected styles from the Drawstyle menu.
|
|
# As written the macro toggles between "WireFrame" and "As is".
|
|
# Immediately below this text is a list of the legal values for the Drawstyle menu.
|
|
# The first 2 lines of executable code are of the form "DrawstyleA = " followed by
|
|
# the 2nd line which is of the form "DrawstyleB = ".
|
|
# These 2 lines specify which of the Drawstyle values the macro will toggle between.
|
|
# Drawstyle "As is" is the system default and so is specified as the first drawstyle.
|
|
# The second line specifies which drawstyle will be toggled to and from.
|
|
# Any of the legal values may be used, so if, for example, it is desired to toggle between
|
|
# the Shaded and Points drawstyles, then the 2 lines of code would be modified to be:
|
|
#
|
|
# drawstyleA = "Shaded"
|
|
# drawstyleB = "Points"
|
|
#
|
|
# but remember that the hash signs ('#') are not to be present on the executable lines.
|
|
#
|
|
###Legal Values for Drawstyle###

|
#
|
|
#"As is"
|
|
#"FlatLines"
|
|
#"Shaded
|
