Description

The Std Refresh command recomputes the active document. The command is disabled if the document does not require a recompute.

Usage

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Std Refresh button.
   • Select the Edit → Refresh option from the menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: F5.

Options

• To force a recompute select the document or one or more objects in the Tree view, choose the Mark to recompute option from the context menu, and invoke the command.
• For objects, but not for documents, you can also choose Recompute object from the same context menu (introduced in version 0.19).

Notes

• For a macro that will recompute the active document see: Macro ForceRecompute.

Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To recompute a document use the recompute method of the document object.

import FreeCAD

doc = FreeCAD.newDocument()
doc.recompute()
