Workbenches/ja

RevitやCatiaといった多くの現代的なデザインのためのアプリケーションと同様、FreeCADはワークベンチというコンセプトを基盤にしています. ワークベンチとは言うなれば特定の作業のために特別に編成されたツールのセットです. 伝統的な家具工房では木材を扱う者のための作業台や金属部品を扱う者のための作業台があり、恐らくは全ての部品を一つに組み立てる者のための作業台もあったことでしょう.

FreeCAD, like many modern design applications such as Revit or CATIA, is based on the concept of Workbench. A workbench can be considered as a set of tools specially grouped for a certain task. In a traditional furniture workshop, you would have a work table for the person who works with wood, another one for the one who works with metal pieces, and maybe a third one for the guy who mounts all the pieces together.

FreeCADでは同じ考え方を採用しています. 関係する作業に従ってツールはワークベンチにグループ化されているのです.

あるワークベンチから別のワークベンチに切り替えると、そのインタフェースで利用できるツールが変わります.

ワークベンチを切り替えるとインターフェイスが変わってそのツールが利用可能になります. ツールバー、コマンドバー、さらにはインターフェイスの他の部分も新しいワークベンチに切り替わりますが、シーンの内容は変わりません. 例えば製図ワークベンチで2D形状を描画し、さらにパートワークベンチを使ってそこから作業を続けるといったことが可能です.

ワークベンチは「モジュール」と呼ばれることがあります. ただし、ワークベンチとモジュールは別のエンティティです. モジュールはFreeCADを拡張したものですが、ワークベンチはツールバーやメニューをまとめた特別なGUI設定です. 通常、すべてのモジュールには独自のワークベンチが含まれているため、名前を交差使用しています.

ビルトインワークベンチ
今のところ以下のワークベンチが利用可能になっています：


 * Freecad.svg Std Base. This is not really a workbench, but rather a category of 'standard' commands and tools that can be used in all workbenches.


 * [[Image:Workbench_Arch.svg|32px]] The Arch Workbench for working with architectural elements.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Draft.svg|32px]] The Draft Workbench contains 2D tools and basic 2D and 3D CAD operations.
 * [[Image:Workbench_FEM.svg|32px]] The FEM Workbench provides Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workflow.


 * [[Image:Workbench_Image.svg|32px]] The Image Workbench for working with bitmap images.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Inspection.svg|32px]] The Inspection Workbench is made to give you specific tools for examination of shapes. It is still in development.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Mesh.svg|32px]] The Mesh Workbench for working with triangulated meshes.
 * [[Image:Workbench_OpenSCAD.svg|32px]] The OpenSCAD Workbench for interoperability with OpenSCAD and repairing constructive solid geometry (CSG) model history.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|32px]] The Part Workbench for working with CAD parts.


 * [[Image:Workbench_PartDesign.svg|32px]] The Part Design Workbench for building Part shapes from sketches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Path.svg|32px]] The Path Workbench is used to produce G-Code instructions. It is still in a stage of development.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Points.svg|32px]] The Points Workbench for working with point clouds.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Raytracing.svg|32px]] The Raytracing Workbench for working with ray-tracing (rendering)


 * [[Image:Workbench_Reverse_Engineering.svg|32px]] The Reverse Engineering Workbench is intended to provide specific tools to convert shapes/solids/meshes into parametric FreeCAD-compatible features. (under development)
 * [[Image:Workbench_Robot.svg|32px]] The Robot Workbench for studying robot movements.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Sketcher.svg|32px]] The Sketcher Workbench for working with geometry-constrained sketches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Spreadsheet.svg|32px]] The Spreadsheet Workbench for creating and manipulating spreadsheet data.


 * [[Image:Workbench_Start.svg|32px]] The Start Center Workbench allows you to quickly jump to one of the most common workbenches.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Surface.svg|32px]] The Surface workbench provides tools to create and modify surfaces. It is similar as the Part Shape builder Face from edges.
 * [[Image:Workbench_TechDraw.svg|32px]] The TechDraw Workbench is the more advanced and feature-rich successor of Drawing
 * [[Image:Workbench_Test.svg|32px]] The Test Framework Workbench is for debugging FreeCAD.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Web.svg|32px]] The Web Workbench provides you with a browser window instead of the 3D view within FreeCAD.

Deprecated
The following workbenches are still included in the base installation for compatibility purposes, but they should no longer be used.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Complete.svg|32px]] The Complete Workbench holds all commands and features from all the modules and workbenches which met certain quality criteria.
 * [[Image:Workbench_Drawing.svg|32px]] The Drawing Workbench was used for displaying your 3D work on a 2D sheet but has now been deprecated, it is still needed to read old FreeCAD files that contain a Drawing object originally made with this workbench. See TechDraw Workbench, which is a more advanced replacement.

External workbenches
FreeCADワークベンチはPythonでプログラムするのが簡単です. したがって、FreeCADの主な開発者の外に追加のワークベンチを開発する人がいます.

The external workbenches page lists all that are known to this community. Most are easily installable from within FreeCAD, using the Addon Manager, found under menu.

複数の新しいワークベンチが開発中です. お楽しみに！
