Usage
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Std SelBoundingBox button.
- Select the View → Bounding box option from the menu.
Preferences
The related setting is stored: Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → View → ShowSelectionBoundingBox. It is a boolean value, the default is false
.
Scripting
See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.
To change the ShowSelectionBoundingBox setting use the SetBool
method of the appropriate ParameterGrp. The code sample does not work if FreeCAD is in console mode.
import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
grp = FreeCAD.ParamGet('User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/View')
if grp.GetBool('ShowSelectionBoundingBox'):
grp.SetBool('ShowSelectionBoundingBox',False)
else:
grp.SetBool('ShowSelectionBoundingBox',True)
