Manual:The FreeCAD Interface/ro

FreeCAD utilizează Qt framework pentru a desena și administra interfața sa. Acest cadru este folosit într-o gamă largă de aplicații, astfel încât interfața FreeCAD este foarte clasică și nu prezintă dificultăți speciale în înțelegere Cele mai multe butoane sunt standard și vor fi găsite acolo unde vă așteptați(File -> Open, Edit -> Paste, etc). Iată aspectul FreeCAD atunci când îl deschideți pentru prima dată, imediat după instalare, afișându-vă centrul de start:



Centrul de start este un "ecran de întâmpinare" convenabil, care arată informații utile pentru noii veniți, cum ar fi cele mai recente fișiere pe care le-ați lucrat, ce este nou în lumea FreeCAD sau informații rapide despre cele mai comune ateliere de lucru. De asemenea, vă va notifica dacă este disponibilă o nouă versiune stabilă a FreeCAD.

Dar după un timp sau după ce ați făcut unele modificări în preferințe, veți fi mai probabil probabil să vă aflați direct în unul dintre celelalte ateliere de lucru, cu un nou document deschis. Sau pur și simplu, închideți fila de start și creați un nou document:



Workbenches
Note that some of the icons have changed between the two screencaptures above. This is where the most important concept used in the FreeCAD interface comes into play: Workbenches.

Workbenches are groups of tools (toolbar buttons, menus, and other interface controls) that are grouped together by specialty. Think of a workshop where you have different people working together: A person who works with metal, another with wood. Each of them has, in their workshop, a separate table with specific tools for his/her job. However, they can all work on the same objects. The same happens in FreeCAD.

The most important control of the FreeCAD interface is the Workbench selector, which you use to switch from one Workbench to the other:



The Workbenches often confuse new users, since it's not always easy to know in which Workbench to look for a specific tool. But they are quick to learn, and after a short while it will feel natural -- realizing it is a convenient way to organize the multitude of tools FreeCAD has to offer. Workbenches are also fully customizable (see below).

Later in this manual, you will also find a table showing the contents of all Workbenches.

The interface
Let's have a better look at the different parts of the interface:




 * The 3D view is the main component of the interface. It can be undocked out of the main window, you can have several views of the same document (or same objects), or several documents opened at the same time. You can select objects or parts of objects by clicking them, and you can pan, zoom and rotate the view with the mouse buttons. This will be explained further in the next chapter.
 * The combo view has two tabs:
 * The Model tab shows you the contents and structure of your document above and the properties (or parameters) of the selected object(s) below. These properties are separated in two categories:
 * Data (properties which concern the geometry itself)
 * View (properties that affect how the geometry looks like on screen).
 * The Tasks tab is where FreeCAD will prompt you for values specific to the tool you're currently using at the time—for example, entering a 'length' value when the Line tool is being used. It will close automatically after pressing the OK (or Cancel) button. Also, by double-clicking the related object in the combo view, most tools will allow you to reopen that task panel in order to modify the settings.
 * The report view is normally hidden, but it is a good idea to leave open as it will list any information, warnings or errors to help you decipher (or debug) what you may have done wrong.
 * The Python console is also hidden by default. This is where you can interact with the contents of the document using the Python language. Since every action you do on the FreeCAD interface actually executes a piece of Python code, having this open allows you to watch the code unfold in real time—allowing you a wonderful and easy way to learn a little Python on the way, almost without noticing it.

Any of the panels above can be turned on/off from menu.



Customizing the interface
The interface of FreeCAD is highly customizable. All panels and toolbars can be moved to different places or stacked one above another. They can also be closed and reopened when needed from the View menu or by right-clicking on an empty area of the interface. There are, however, many more options available, such as creating custom toolbars with tools from any of the Workbenches, or assigning and changing keyboard shortcuts.

These advanced customization options are available from the :
