Description
The WeldingSymbol tool adds welding specifications to an existing leader line.
File:TechDraw WeldingSymbol sample.png
Welding specification added to a leader line
How to use
- Select an existing File:Techdraw-mline.svg LeaderLine
- Press the File:Techdraw-weldsymbol.svg WeldingSymbol button
- A Task dialog will open. The dialog allows entry/selection of individual welding symbols and accompanying text to be added to the leader line.
- To exit the dialog and save changes, press the OK button.
- To exit the dialog without saving, press the Cancel button.
- After the welding symbol is created, it can be edited by double clicking the WeldingSymbol in the Tree.
Properties
- DonnéesAllAround: Show the AllAround symbol (circle) at the kink in the leader line.
- DonnéesFieldWeld: Show the FieldWeld symbol (flag) at the kink in the leader line.
- DonnéesAlternateWeld: Offset the lower symbol to indicate alternating welds.
- DonnéesTailText: Text to be shown at the end of the leader line.
Each individual symbol ("arrow side" and "other side") is represented by a "tile" object. A WeldingSymbol has 1 or 2 tiles associated with it.
- DonnéesRow: 0 for above the line, -1 for below the line. Not intended for end users.
- DonnéesColumn: not implemented.
- DonnéesSymbolFile: Directory and file name of the svg file for the symbol.
- DonnéesLeftText: Text to be displayed to the left of the svg symbol.
- DonnéesCenterText: Text to be displayed above/below the svg symbol.
- DonnéesRightText: Text to be displayed to the right of the svg symbol.
Scripting
See also: TechDraw API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
The WeldingSymbol tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following functions:
symbolName = "DrawWeldSymbol001")
symbolType = "TechDraw::DrawWeldSymbol"
App.activeDocument().addObject(symbolType, symbolName)
App.activeDocument().Page.addView(App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001)
App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001.Leader = myLeader
App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001.AllAround = True
App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001.FieldWeld = True
App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001.AlternatingWeld = True
App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001.TailText = "process text"
tileName = "DrawTileWeld001"
tileType = "TechDraw::DrawTileWeld"
App.activeDocument().addObject(tileType, tileName)
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.TileParent = App.activeDocument().DrawWeldSymbol001
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.TileRow = 0
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.TileColumn = 0
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.SymbolFile = fullPathToMySvgFile
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.LeftText = "left text"
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.RightText = "right text"
App.activeDocument().DrawTileWeld001.CenterText = "center text"
Svg Symbol Tiles
- Individual symbols are formed by 64x64 pixel Svg files. Additional symbols can be created in an Svg progam like Inkscape using one of the supplies symbols as a template.
Notes
- This feature was added in v0.19
- You can edit your WeldingSymbol by double clicking on it in the tree view. Double clicking in the graphics area is not yet supported.
- There is a preference parameter for the default welding symbol directory. You can add your own symbols in a personal directory.
