Macro FCInfo/pl

Opis
Podaje informacje o wybranym kształcie i może wyświetlać przeliczanie długości, nachylenia (stopnie, radiany, stopnie, procenty), powierzchni, objętości i masy w różnych jednostkach (metrycznych i brytyjskich). Makro działa teraz także dla elementów szkicu w trybie edycji.



Użycie
Select an object or launch the application and select an object, and a series of informations appear. His calculations based on unity of FreeCAD, which is the mm to each new selection, the length unit always comes back on mm and angle on decimal degrees.

Sector 1: Document



 * Document name
 * Label and internal name of the object
 * Internal Name of the object
 * Sub element name and type of the object
 * Type of the object

Sector 2: Coordinates click mouse



 * Coordinates X,Y and Z click to mouse
 * The creates point, axis, plane, copy vector axis from FreeCAD.Vector(-24.0, 240.0, 7.0)

Sector 3: Color on point



 * Color on point clicked.
 * value 0.0 to 1.0
 * Line Edit display the color value in different formats:
 * 3435973887 : Mode RVBA Int unsigned (format in FreeCAD preferences) Alpha = 255
 * #cccccc : Mode RVB Hexadecimal  (Qt: )
 * 0xcccccc : Mode RVB Hexadecimal  (Python: )
 * "204,204,204 " : RVB decim: Mode RVB (Qt: )
 * (0.8,0.8,0.8) : RVB float: Mode RVB format float de 0.0 à 1.0
 * (The number of decimals depend of the option "x (Decimals)")
 * : Change the color of the selected object or subobject. If this box is activated the face or sub Object selected is modified or duplicated. If it is not activated (default) the object is modified (color) or duplicated
 * : Change the color of the shape or the face depend of the choice. In case object Mesh or Points the complete object is colored.
 * : Duplicates the face or the object depend to the chosen option. In the case of a Mesh object or Points the complete object is colored. Duplicate a Mesh object keeps the original and creates a solid shape. Duplicate a Points object keeps the original and creates a copy.
 * : Degree of transparency of the selected face or object depend on the option chosen 0 = opaque, 100 = transparent

Sector 4: Units


km, hm, dam, m, dm, cm, mm, µm, nm, pm, fm, inch, link, foot, yard, perch, chain, furlong, mile, league, nautique.
 * : If the object is a face perimeter, length of the object is displayed. Unit size can be selected :
 * Length of the object : Length of the object or perimeter of the face.
 * If the object is a circle, a second lineEdit Radius : is opened and display the radius and diameter of circle.
 * Perimeter of the shape (12). Perimeter of the object and number of subObject (Edges) contained in the object.

Sector 5: Inclination



 * Inclination of the object can be displayed in:
 * decimal degree, ex:
 * degree minute seconde, ex:

 * grade, ex:
 * pourcent, ex: 30° =
 * Inclinations in planes XY, YZ, ZX and their coordinates
 * Direction object, give the direction of object. The calculate is : coord_1 - coord_2 = direction (or reverse)
 * this button create a line in direction of the object.
 * ValueAt(0), returns the 3D vector corresponding to a parameter value.
 * this button create a line in ValueAt direction of the object.

 * : the separator is Space

Option for save or read the spreadsheet with different separator, Tabulation, Comma, Semicolon, Space

The Tabulation are the separator for the FreeCAD [Spreadsheet_Workbench|Spreadsheet workbench]

The number of this four separator are calculate for help if unknown

The COMMA are the old (01.16 and before) separator of the FCInfo macro

Now for compatibility with the FreeCAD spreadsheet and since 01.17 version the TABULATION is the separator by default

If you want to convert your old FCInfo spreadsheet : Open it in FCInfo and save it with the Tabulation option checked

 * : If checked the coordinate are copy in the clipBoard Form : X, Y, Z with Comma separator
 * : If checked the coordinate are copy in the clipBoard Form : X Y Z as is with Space separator
 * : if this CheckBox is not checked, the window macro are displayed to right (default). If it is checked the window macro are displayed to left. If the option is 1 mode fly (User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Macros/FCMmacros/FCInfo/seTPositionFlyRightLeft) this button is not visible.
 * : give the number of decimal displayed
 * : give the dimensionof text in the macro
 * : refresh the display of data in report view
 * : exit properly the macro

Once launched macro, the macro remains active and the window remains visible. To exit the macro by pressing. If you leave by the cross, the macro remains in memory and the data appears in the "report view" of FreeCAD, you must restart FreeCAD for quit it.

Script
Copy the contents of the macro in a file named "FCInfo.FCMacro"
 * Windows: the form is usually " drive:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\ "
 * Ubuntu: the form is usually " /home/your_user_name/.FreeCAD ".

Or, directly in the interface of FreeCAD

The icon must be in the same directory as the macro.

Download image positioning on the icon  and then drag the mouse right click "save as" (do not change the name)

PS: the code is too long to be contained in the wiki page (for the time being the wiki pages accept only 64 KB) the macro code has been placed in the forum

Download the macro file on gist docked to right

(Or on the forum. )

PS: this macro uses getSelection and the list of object begin to 1 ex: for a box Edge1 to Edge12 and the code in the console start at 0 ex: for a box Edge[0] to Edge[11]

This is normal, the counting on arrays/lists inside OpenCascade always starts at 1 and not at 0.

Limitations
Always leave the button. If one exits the program without going through the button, the program remains in memory and continues to run and the display will remain in the "view report". You must leave FreeCAD to erase it from memory.

Only the first 200 elements of the object are visible in the table. If there are more than 200 items in the object, a signal will be displayed by (! +200). The complete list of data is visible in the file saved by the button.

If the window macro is invisible after the run, see the bottom window :





project:

read the file directly in a table. done

Association of a substance to its density
