Description
Asymptote is a programming language for the creation of 2D and 3D computer graphics. Asymptote code can be included in LaTeX documents or used to generate PostScript, PDF, SVG, WebGL, and PRC files.
Interactive 3D PDF files created from Asymptote code require Acrobat Reader version 9 or higher. For other PDF files any PDF reader can be used.
Asymptote support was added in FreeCAD version 0.19.
Exporting
- Optionally assign colors to the faces of the object you want to export with the Part FaceColors command.
- Change to the Mesh Workbench.
- Create a mesh from the object with the Mesh FromPartShape command.
- Select the new mesh object.
- Invoke the Mesh Export command.
- Select the *.asy file format in the dialog box.
- Enter a filename.
- Press the Save button.
Creating a PDF file
- Install the Asymptote compiler.
- Use this command line syntax to create the PDF file:
asy -f pdf AsymptoteFileName.asy
