### Introduction
|
|
This project adds a workbench to FreeCAD that makes it easy to get started using the [CadQuery API](http://dcowden.github.io/cadquery/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two philosophies that are probably the most influential in the design of this project.
|
|
|
|
1. _"Batteries Included"_ - A user should not have to install a lot of requirements to get started.
|
|
2. _Flexibility_ - A user should be able to customize this workbench for their workflow. Being able to use an external code editor is an example.
|
|
|
|
A stock code editor is included, along with examples showing everything from basic to advanced CadQuery scripting. This workbench also includes [cqparts](https://github.com/fragmuffin/cqparts), which is a library that adds support for parts and assemblies with constraints on top of CadQuery.
|
|
|
|
Customizable settings are available, including settings that allow the use of an external code editor, if desired.
