Description

The TechDraw Midpoints tool adds cosmetic vertices at the midpoint of one or more selected edges.

Cosmetic vertices at the midpoint of edges

Usage

  1. Select one or more edges in a view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Add Midpoint Vertices button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Add Vertices → Add Midpoint Vertices option from the menu.

Notes

  • The created cosmetic vertices are not parametrically linked to the selected edges.
  • To delete a cosmetic vertex use TechDraw CosmeticEraser.

Properties

Cosmetic vertices have no properties of their own, as they are not document objects. They share color and size settings with regular geometry vertices.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

Cosmetic vertices are not accessible from macros or the Python console at this time. This snippet will remove all cosmetic vertices from the view.
