Abdullah Tahiri 6a16910ba5 Sketcher: UI Copy Support & 2D Array python command rework
==========================================================

- Support for copying geometric elements in the sketcher with Ctrl+C (or using the still missing icon). It will show you the vector of displacement from the
"reference point". The reference point can be chosen by the user (although it is not necessary to do it so) by making the point the user wish to be the reference point
the last selected element. It conveniently incorporates "autoconstraints", so that you can make this point (the one of the copy) directly coincident with any other point in the sketch.

- Python 2D array command modified to lock elements position using construction lines and constraints.
- Support for different spacing between u and v directions (the direction of the cols and the direction of the rows).

- Support to avoid copying DistanceX and DistanceY constraints when used for locking a point. This means that if the geometry that you copy(array) is
fully constraint, the resulting 2D array is also fully constraint.

- UI support for creating 2D linear arrays in the sketcher.
- Bug fix in python addArray, wrong line copy startingpoint calculation fixed.

How to create a 2D array in the sketcher:
1. Select your geometric elements.
2. Click the button
3. Fill in the rows/cols and preferences on spacing and constraining each element of the array
4. Click Ok
5. Define the direction of the cols of the array and click

FreeCAD

screenshot

FreeCAD is a general purpose feature-based, parametric 3D modeler for CAD, MCAD, CAx, CAE and PLM, aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product design but also fits a wider range of uses in engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties. It is 100% Open Source (LGPL2+ license) and extremely modular, allowing for very advanced extension and customization.

FreeCAD is based on OpenCasCade, a powerful geometry kernel, features an Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model provided by the Coin 3D library, and a broad Python API. The interface is built with Qt. FreeCAD runs exactly the same way on Windows, Mac OSX, BSD and Linux platforms.

Installing

Precompiled (installable) packages are usually available to you from several sources and are described on the FreeCAD download page:

http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Download

Compiling

Compiling FreeCAD requires to install several libraries and their development files such as OpenCasCADe, Coin and Qt, listed in the pages below. Once this is done, FreeCAD can be simply compiled with cMake. On windows, these libraries are bundled and offered by the FreeCAD team in a convenience package, on Linux they are usually found in your distribution's repositories and on Mac OSX and other platforms you will usually need to compile them yourself.

The pages below contain up-to-date build instructions:

For Windows: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=CompileOnWindows

For Mac OSX: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=CompileOnMac

For Cygwin: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/?title=CompileOnCygwin
