The New Pick tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following functions:

templateFileSpec = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self.baseWidget,
                                                     dialogCaption, 
                                                     dialogDir,
                                                     dialogFilter)
page = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawPage','Page')
template = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject('TechDraw::DrawSVGTemplate','Template')
template.Template = templateFileSpec
page.Template = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Template
  • Creates a new Page in the current document
