#File: Ex006_Moving_the_Current_Working_Point.py
#To use this example file, you need to first follow the "Using CadQuery From Inside FreeCAD"
#instructions here: https://github.com/dcowden/cadquery#installing----using-cadquery-from-inside-freecad
#You run this example by typing the following in the FreeCAD python console, making sure to change
#the path to this example, and the name of the example appropriately.
#import sys
#sys.path.append('/home/user/Downloads/cadquery/examples/FreeCAD')
#import Ex006_Moving_the_Current_Working_Point
#If you need to reload the part after making a change, you can use the following lines within the FreeCAD console.
#reload(Ex006_Moving_the_Current_Working_Point)
#You'll need to delete the original shape that was created, and the new shape should be named sequentially (Shape001, etc).
#You can also tie these blocks of code to macros, buttons, and keybindings in FreeCAD for quicker access.
#You can get a more information on this example at http://parametricparts.com/docs/examples.html#an-extruded-prismatic-solid

#Make the plate with two cutouts in it

result = result.center(1.5,0.0).rect(0.5,0.5) #New work center is (1.5,0.0)
result = result.center(-1.5,1.5).circle(0.25) #New work center is ( 0.0,1.5).
#The new center is specified relative to the previous center, not global coordinates!

#Get a cadquery solid object

#Use the wrapped property of a cadquery primitive to get a FreeCAD solid

#Would like to zoom to fit the part here, but FreeCAD doesn't seem to have that scripting functionality
