Description
This command will place a Proxy object in the document, placed and aligned to the current Working Plane. When using the Draft SelectPlane command with such a Proxy object selected, or by double-clicking it in the tree view, the working plane will be positioned and aligned back with the proxy object. The camera position and hidden/shown state of objects are also stored in the Proxy object, and can be restored if the corresponding properties are enabled (see below).
How to use
- Make sure the Working Plane is set as you want.
- Press Draft -> Utilities -> File:Draft SetWorkingPlaneProxy.png Create WP Proxy
Options
- WP proxies can be manipulated (moved and rotated) like any other FreeCAD object
- The size and appearance of the proxy object can be set in the View properties
Scripting
Working plane proxy objects can easily be created in scripts and macros:
Example:
import FreeCAD,Draft
currentWP = FreeCAD.DraftWorkingPlane
Draft.makeWorkingPlaneProxy(currentWP.getPlacement())
