工作檯
FreeCad和許多現代設計應用程式一樣,如Revit或 CATIA,都基於 工作檯的概念。工作檯可以看作是為某個任務專門歸類的一組工具。在一個傳統的家具車間裡,你會有一張工作檯給木材工人,另一張給金屬件工人,也許還有第三張給把所有零件組裝在一起的工人。
在FreeCad中,同樣的概念也適用。工具根據與之相關的任務分組歸類到工作檯中。
當您從一個工作檯切換到另一個工作檯時,界面上可用的工具會發生變化。工具欄、命令欄和界面的其他部分會切換到新的工作檯,但是場景的內容不會改變。例如,您可以使用草圖工作檯開始繪製二維形狀,然後使用零件工作檯對它們進行進一步處理。
請注意,有時工作檯被稱為「模塊」。但是,工作檯和模塊是不同的實體。模塊是FreeCad的任何擴展,而工作檯是一個特殊的GUI配置,它對一些工具欄和菜單進行分組。通常每個模塊都包含自己的工作檯,因此它們的名稱被交叉使用。
內建工作檯
Freecad安裝後具有以下工作檯:
- 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.
=已棄用
出於兼容性目的,以下工作檯仍包含在基本安裝中,但不再使用。
- 完整工作檯包含滿足特定質量標準的所有模塊和工作檯的所有命令和功能。 obsolete in version 0.17
- 繪圖工作檯用於在2D圖紙上顯示3D作品,但現已不建議使用,仍然需要閱讀包含以下內容的舊FreeCAD文件: 最初使用此工作檯製作的繪圖對象。 請參閱TechDraw工作檯,它是更高級的替代品。 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
外部工作檯
FreeCAD工作檯易於通過Python進行編程開發,因此FreeCAD主要開發領域之外的很多人自己開發額外的工作檯。
外部工作檯頁面列出了該社區已知的所有內容。 大多數功能都可以使用菜單 工具 → 插件管理器下的插件管理器從FreeCAD輕鬆安裝。
新的工作檯持續在開發中,敬請關注。
