工作台
FreeCad和许多现代设计应用程序一样,如Revit或 CATIA,都基于 工作台的概念。工作台可以看作是为某个任务专门归类的一组工具。在一个传统的家具车间里,你会有一张工作台给木材工人,另一张给金属件工人,也许还有第三张给把所有零件组装在一起的工人。
在FreeCad中,同样的概念也适用。工具根据与之相关的任务分组归类到工作台中。
当您从一个工作台切换到另一个工作台时,界面上可用的工具会发生变化。工具栏、命令栏和界面的其他部分会切换到新的工作台,但是场景的内容不会改变。例如,您可以使用草图工作台开始绘制二维形状,然后使用零件工作台对它们进行进一步处理。
请注意,有时工作台被称为“模块”。但是,工作台和模块是不同的实体。模块是FreeCad的任何扩展,而工作台是一个特殊的GUI配置,它对一些工具栏和菜单进行分组。通常每个模块都包含自己的工作台,因此它们的名称被交叉使用。
内建工作台
Freecad安装后具有以下工作台:
- Std Base. This is not really a workbench, but rather a category of 'standard' commands and tools that can be used in all workbenches.
- The Arch Workbench for working with architectural elements.
- The Draft Workbench contains 2D tools and basic 2D and 3D CAD operations.
- The FEM Workbench provides Finite Element Analysis (FEA) workflow.
- The Image Workbench for working with bitmap images.
- The Inspection Workbench is made to give you specific tools for examination of shapes. It is still under development.
- The Mesh Workbench for working with triangulated meshes.
- The OpenSCAD Workbench for interoperability with OpenSCAD and repairing constructive solid geometry (CSG) model history.
- The Part Workbench for working with CAD parts.
- The Part Design Workbench for building Part shapes from sketches.
- The Path Workbench is used to produce G-Code instructions. It is still under development.
- The Points Workbench for working with point clouds.
- The Raytracing Workbench for working with ray-tracing (rendering).
- The Reverse Engineering Workbench is intended to provide specific tools to convert shapes/solids/meshes into parametric FreeCAD-compatible features. It is still under development.
- The Robot Workbench for studying robot movements.
- The Sketcher Workbench for working with geometry-constrained sketches.
- The Spreadsheet Workbench for creating and manipulating spreadsheet data.
- The Start Center Workbench allows you to quickly jump to one of the most common workbenches.
- The Surface Workbench provides tools to create and modify surfaces. It is similar as the Part Shape builder Face from edges.
- The TechDraw Workbench for producing technical drawings from 3D models. It is the successor of the Drawing Workbench.
- The Test Framework Workbench is for debugging FreeCAD.
- The Web Workbench provides you with a browser window instead of the 3D view within FreeCAD.
=已弃用
出于兼容性目的,以下工作台仍包含在基本安装中,但不再使用。
- 完整工作台包含满足特定质量标准的所有模块和工作台的所有命令和功能。 obsolete in version 0.17
- 绘图工作台用于在2D图纸上显示3D作品,但现已不建议使用,仍然需要阅读包含以下内容的旧FreeCAD文件: 最初使用此工作台制作的绘图对象。 请参阅TechDraw工作台,它是更高级的替代品。 obsolete in version 0.17
- The Complete Workbench holds all commands and features from all workbenches that met certain quality criteria. obsolete in version 0.17
- The Drawing Workbench was used for producing technical drawings but has now been deprecated. It is still needed to read old FreeCAD files that contain objects created with this workbench. The TechDraw Workbench is its more advanced replacement. obsolete in version 0.17
外部工作台
FreeCAD工作台易于通过Python进行编程开发,因此FreeCAD主要开发领域之外的很多人自己开发额外的工作台。
新的工作台持续在开发中,敬请关注。
