Description
The CAM Workbench contains a set of hidden commands. They are hidden by default because they are experimental. A command can be considered experimental for any of the following reasons:
- It is incomplete.
- It is bug-ridden.
- It is unstable.
- It does not produce correct, stable, safe, paths.
- It is not a standard, regularly used command in the traditional CAM workflow.
- It is mature but has not yet been moved to the standard tool list.
- ... other reasons.
Enable experimental commands
To access the hidden experimental commands of the CAM Workbench, the user must enable them in the Parameter Editor.
- Open the Parameter Editor via Tools → Edit Parameters...
- Once in the editor the path is BaseApp → Preferences → Mod → CAM
- To enable the CAM Area and CAM Area Workplane commands:
- Right-click in the parameter list area and select New → New Boolean item from the context menu.
- Name the new parameter:
EnableAdvancedOCLFeatures
(case-sensitive). - Set it to:
True
.
- To enable the other experimental commands:
- Again select New → New Boolean item from the context menu.
- Name the new parameter:
EnableExperimentalFeatures
(case-sensitive). - Set it to:
True
.
- Save the settings.
- Restart FreeCAD.
