FreeCAD 建立于强大的几何核心 OpenCasCade 之上,采用 Coin 3D 提供的与 Open Inventor 兼容的三维场景模型,并提供丰富的 Python 应用程序接口,其图形交互界面基于 Qt 实现。FreeCAD 能够确保在 Windows, Mac OS X 与 Linux 平台上运行时用户交互界面的一致性。
FreeCAD 会受益于你的帮助, 可以参与测试与Bug 报告,或者参与指南的撰写。我们也缺乏 Mac OS X 平台的用户,如果你有一台 mac 机器,请帮助我们!另外,也欢迎你参与FreeCAD 本地化翻译工作。如果你熟悉 C++ 或 Python 编程并且愿意参与开发,那就更好了,请到论坛联系我们!
This is the documentation wiki of FreeCAD. The information contained here is what forms the offline documentation shipped with FreeCAD itself. You have two main ways to browse through the documentation: by exploring user hubs, or by following the manual. It is a work in progress, written by the community of users and developers of FreeCAD. If you find information that is wrong or missing, please help!
User hubs
Below are the three main entry points to the documentation, for the three broad categories of FreeCAD users:
Users hub: For normal users, explains how to install and use the FreeCAD application and the contents of the different workbenches
Power users hub: For advanced users, explains how to use macros and python scripting to enhance your workflow
Developers hub: For developers, explains how to write code for the FreeCAD application, extend it or use it in your own applications
Manual
The FreeCAD manual is another, more linear way to present the articles contained in this wiki. It forms the backbone of the offline documentation shipped with the FreeCAD application. It is already available in several languages:
There is plenty to do inside the FreeCAD project, if you are interested in helping us. There are programming tasks, for C++ or python programmers, but there are also many things you can do even if you cannot code, such as writing documentation, helping newcomers, translating the application and documentation, help packaging the latest release of FreeCAD for your favourite operating system, or simply help other people to discover FreeCAD around you. The help FreeCAD page describes it all with more details.
Check the Development roadmap for news about what is being planned, the Changelog and Roadmap pages on the FreeCAD tracker to see the progresses towards next release, or the Project statistics for even more information about the FreeCAD codebase. All the development communication happens on the forum, so be sure to visit it if you are interested in participating.
