FreeCADConfig

Installation

Installation is done in two basic steps (1) install add-ons (2) install macros, preferences, shorcuts. This is all done using the install.py script. Some of the commands used require that FreeCAD's GUI is loaded so we'll have to paste the contents of the script in FreeCAD's Python console.

1. Set the PATH_CONFIG_ROOT variable to the root directory of this repo.

PATH_CONFIG_ROOT = "path/to/FreeCADConfig"

2. Start FreeCAD and open Tools > Panels > Python console.

3. Un-comment the following line and copy/paste the contents of the file. This will run a git clone on all the add-ons defined in addons.toml file.

run_install_addons(PATH_CONFIG_ROOT, reinstall=False)

4. Restart FreeCAD

5. In Preferences > General, set the theme to OpenDark.

6. Restart FreeCAD

7. Un-comment the following line and copy/paste the contents of the file. This will install the macros, shortcuts and preferences defined in macros.toml, shortcuts.toml and preferences.toml files.

run_install_configs(PATH_CONFIG_ROOT)
