Interface Customization/zh-cn

Introduction
由于FreeCAD界面是基于现代的Qt工具包制作，因此它具有最先进的组织架构. widget部件、菜单、工具栏与其他工具都可修改、移动、在工具台之间共享，还可设置、修改快捷键，并记录和执行宏（macro）. 通过菜单即可进行窗口的定制：



Usage

 * 1) The commands available in the Customize dialog box depend on the workbenches that have been loaded in the current FreeCAD session.  So you should first load all workbenches whose commands you want to have access to.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the [[Image:Std_DlgCustomize.svg|16px]] Std DlgCustomize command:
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) * Right-click a toolbar area and choose from the context menu.
 * 5) The Customize dialog box opens. For more information see Options.
 * 6) The  button does not work at this time.
 * 7) Press the  button to close the dialog box.

Options
In the Customize dialog box the following tabs are available:

Commands


On this tab you can browse the available commands.

Browse commands

 * 1) Select a command category in the Category panel on the left. Some categories match menu entries.
 * 2) The tools available in the selected category are shown in the panel on the right.
 * 3) Hover a command: its tooltip appears.
 * 4) Select a command: its status bar text is displayed below the two panels.

Keyboard


On this tab custom keyboard shortcuts can be defined. Shortcuts for macro commands can be defined on the Macros tab.

Add a custom shortcut

 * 1) Select a command category from the Category dropdown list.
 * 2) Select a command from the Commands panel.
 * 3) The Current shortcut box displays the current short cut, if available.
 * 4) Enter a new shortcut in the Press new shortcut input box. Shortcuts can be up to 4 inputs long. Each input is either a single character, a combination of one or more special keys or a combination of one or more special keys and a character. Use  to correct mistakes.
 * 5) If the shortcut is already in use, a dialog box will ask you if you want to override it, and the command the shortcut is assigned to will appear in the Currently assigned to panel.
 * 6) Press the  button to assign the new shortcut.
 * 7) Press the  button to remove the entered shortcut. This will also remove the content of the Current shortcut box. Note that default shortcuts are not permanently removed. They will be restored upon restarting FreeCAD.

Remove a custom shortcut

 * 1) Select a command category from the Category dropdown list.
 * 2) Select a command from the Commands panel.
 * 3) Press the  button.

Remove all custom shortcuts

 * 1) Press the  button.

Notes (Keyboard)

 * Shortcuts only work if their commands appear in the standard menu or in the menu of a workbench that has been loaded in the current FreeCAD session, or if their commands appear on a visible toolbar.


 * In V0.19 there is an issue with some Draft commands. Their default shortcuts do not work and/or custom shortcuts cannot be assigned to them.

Notes (Toolbars)

 * Toolbars belonging to the current workbench are updated immediately, but after disabling/re-enabling a toolbar a workbench change is required (switch to a different workbench and then switch back).
 * To update global toolbars a workbench change (if commands have been added or removed) or a restart (if the order of a toolbar has changed or a toolbar was renamed) is required.


 * In V0.19 there is an issue with some Draft commands. After adding them to a custom toolbar and exiting the FreeCAD application the file must be manually edited for these commands. Search for the name of the custom toolbar and in that section change the content of the  items that start with  to.

Macros


On this tab user macro commands can be set up. Once set up, they can be added to custom toolbars. FreeCAD uses a dedicated folder for user macros and only macros in that folder can be set up. Use the Std DlgMacroExecute command to find this folder on your system.

If you download a macro with the Addon Manager then make sure that you also download its icon image file. Most macros have an image link on the information page that appears in the Addon Manager. You can for example put this image file in the user macros folder.

If you want to use a macro downloaded from a different source you will have to install it manually. See How to install macros for more information.

Add a macro command

 * 1) In the Macro dropdown list select a macro.
 * 2) Enter a Menu text. This will be the name used to identify the macro command and will also appear in the toolbar if there is no icon.
 * 3) Optionally enter a Tool tip. This text will appear near the location of the mouse when you hover the toolbar icon.
 * 4) Optionally enter a Status text. This text will appear in the status bar when you hover the toolbar icon.
 * 5) Optionally enter the wiki page for the macro, if available, in the What's this input box. Enter the page name, not the full URL.
 * 6) Optionally enter a shortcut in the Accelerator input box. See Keyboard for more information.
 * 7) To add an icon:
 * 8) Press the Pixmap  button.
 * 9) The Choose Icon dialog box opens.
 * 10) If required press the  button to add an icon folder.
 * 11) Select an icon from the panel. The Choose Icon dialog box closes automatically.
 * 12) Press the  button.
 * 13) The macro command appears in the panel on the left.
 * 14) The macro command can now be selected on the Toolbars tab.

Remove a macro command

 * 1) Select the macro command in the panel on the left.
 * 2) Press the  button.

Change a macro command

 * 1) Double-click the macro command in the panel on the left.
 * 2) Make the required changes. Note that you cannot remove the icon, you can only replace it.
 * 3) Press the  button.
