Description
The Std SendToPythonConsole command creates variables in the Python console referencing the selected object and its subshapes, along with some other useful references. The variable doc references the document containing the selected object. The variable obj references the selected object unless it is a Link, in which case obj references the Linked object. If the selected object is a Link, then a variable named lnk is produced that references the Link object itself. The variable shp references the Shape property of the object if it is derived from Part::Feature (as all object's with Shape property are), but for Mesh objects shp = obj.Mesh, and for Points objects, shp = obj.Points. If a subshape of the object is selected an additional variable sub is created, referencing the subshape of the object. Note: sub has been renamed from elt used in previous versions. If more than one subshape has been selected, then sub references the first selected subshape and all of the selected subshapes are in a list variable subs. The variables and the code involved can be used to development Python code. Note: all previously created variables are deleted each time the command is run, so you would need to save any variables you wish to use after a subsequent use of the command by assigning to a new variable Although you may select multiple subshapes of a single object, only one single object is supported.
>>> ### Begin command Std_SendToPythonConsole >>> try: >>> del(doc,lnk,obj,shp,sub,subs) >>> except Exception: >>> pass >>> >>> doc = App.getDocument("Unnamed") >>> lnk = doc.getObject("Link") >>> obj = lnk.getLinkedObject() #in this case a Cube >>> shp = obj.Shape >>> sub = obj.getSubObject("Edge10") >>> subs = [obj.getSubObject("Edge10"),obj.getSubObject("Face3"),obj.getSubObject("Vertex5"),] >>> ### End command Std_SendToPythonConsole
Example output: an edge, a face, and a vertex of a Link to a Part Box was selected
