Descripción

Usuarios avanzados han extendido FreeCAD con varios bancos de trabajo externos, que no están integrados en el código fuente principal de FreeCAD, pero son fáciles de instalar en una instalación de FreeCAD existente. Aquí cubriremos los métodos de instalación para los distintos sistemas operativos.

Nota: A partir de la versión 0.17 FreeCAD incluye un Administrador de complementos en el menu Herramientas → Administrador de complementos que permite instalar fácilmente una serie de bancos de trabajo externos. Las instrucciones de más abajo son solo necesarias si estás usando una versión anterior o quieres instalar un entorno de trabajo que no está en la lista ofrecida por el Administrador de complementos

Instalación en Windows

Como instalar bancos de trabajo adicionales y complementos en Windows

Instalación Recomendada

El método de instalación recomendado más moderno es Herramientas → Administrador de complementos.

Obsoleto

Nota: usar el "addons-installer" ya no es recomendado. Usar el Administrador de complementos es el método recomendado en todos los sistemas.

Use el addons-installer de Github

During Google Summer of Code 2016 student Mandeep Singh started work on an improved version (available here) but that version needs further work before it can be fully integrated in FreeCAD.

Manual Install

Note: This method is possible but not necessary with the introduction of the Addon Manager. Nevertheless, the information here may still be useful to some.

Download the workbench from github by clicking on the button Clone or Download on the github page (upper right corner) and choosing "Download ZIP"
Unpack the downloaded archive on your local hard disk
Within FreeCAD, locate the macro path by choosing Edit → Preferences → General → Macro and look for the ”Macro path”
Supposed your Windows-Login is “username” the default macro path is %APPDATA%\FreeCAD\ which is usually C:\Users\username\Appdata\Roaming\FreeCAD
Within the macro-directory create (if not already present) a folder called “Mod”
Within the Mod folder, create a folder with the name of the workbench, for example “Curves”
Now move the unpacked files and sub-folders of the workbench to the just created workbench-folder
After restart of FreeCAD you should now have an entry in the workbench selector

Additional Recommendation for updating workbenches

On windows, when updating an already installed workbench, Windows keeps the old .py files as .pyc. Since this may lead to trouble, it is recommended to uninstall the workbench, restart FreeCAD and install the new version of the workbench.

Installing on Linux

How to install additional workbenches and addons on Linux

Recommended Installation

The modern recommended installation is using the Tools → Addon Manager.

Using git

Adding the community-ppa within the ppa-manager.
Installing the workbenches via synaptic packet manager.

$ sudo apt-get install git python-numpy python-pyside
$ mkdir ~/.FreeCAD/Mod
$ cd ~/.FreeCAD/Mod
$ git clone  https://github.com/tomate44/CurvesWB.git

FreeCAD you will now have a new workbench-entry called "CurvesWB". Once installed, use git to upgrade to the latest version:

$ cd ~/.FreeCAD/Mod/CurvesWB
$ git pull
$ rm *.pyc

Manual Installation

Note: This method is possible but not necessary with the introduction of the Addon Manager. Nevertheless, the information here may still be useful to some.

Download the workbench from github by clicking on the button Clone or Download on the github page (upper right corner) and choosing "Download ZIP"
Unpack the downloaded archive on your local hard disk
Within FreeCAD, locate the macro path by choosing Edit → Preferences → General → Macro and look for the ”Macro path”
By default, the macro directory is the (hidden) ./.FreeCAD/ directory in your home-directory
Within the macro-directory create (if not already present) a folder called “Mod”
Within the Mod/ folder, create a folder with the name of the workbench, for example “Curves”
Now move the unpacked files and sub-folders of the workbench to the just created workbench-folder
After restart of FreeCAD you should now have an entry in the workbench selector

Installing on Mac

How to install additional workbenches and addons on MacOS

Recommended Installation

The modern recommended installation is using the Tools → Addon Manager.

Manual Installation

Note: This method is possible but not necessary with the introduction of the Addon Manager. Nevertheless, the information here may still be useful to some.

For the sake of this example, say you've chosen the Curves Workbench as the external workbench you want to install:

Choose and download the git repository of your chosen external workbench as a ZIP file
Assuming FreeCAD is installed in /Applications/FreeCAD/v0.xx", go to /Applications/FreeCAD/v0.xx" in the Browser, and select FreeCAD.app
RMB and select "Show Package Contents", a new window will appear with a folder named "Contents"
single-click on the folder "Contents" and select the folder "Mod"
In the folder "Mod" create a new folder named "Curves"
Unzip downloaded repository in the folder "Contents/Mod/Curves"

General troubleshooting

Don’t use special characters (for example german umlauts) in your windows user name, otherwise FreeCAD will not recognize files and folders in the macro path
If you have already set up a user name with special characters either create a new user name or point the macro path to a directory not using special characters
Workbench still not showing up ? In FreeCAD, choose Tools → Customize → Workbenches and make sure it is not set to invisible
Notes for users with 32-bit system and FreeCAD 0.16.6706 . After attempts to install, the additional Workbenches may not be available. In this case
- hold the Report panel open while starting FreeCAD, and read the error
