Определение

The ShapeString tool inserts a compound shape that represents a text string. Text height, tracking and font can be specified. The resulting shape can be used with the Part Extrude tool to create 3D letters.

The Draft Text tool is a simpler alternative that does not produce a closed shape.

How to use

1. Press the Draft Shape from text ... button, or press S then S keys
2. Click a point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
3. Enter the desired text, press ENTER
4. Enter the desired size, press ENTER
5. Enter the desired tracking, press ENTER
6. Press ENTER to accept the displayed font file, or,
7. Press ... to select a font file.

Options

• To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press ENTER between each X, Y and Z component.
• Pressing ESC will cancel the operation.
• You can set a default font file in Draft/Prefences.

Properties

• ДанныеPosition: The base point of the compound shape
• ДанныеString: The contents of the text string
• ДанныеSize: The height of the letters in FC units
• ДанныеTracking: The inter-character spacing in FC units
• ДанныеFont File: The font definition file used to draw the string

Scripting

The ShapeString tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:

ShapeString = makeShapeString(String, FontFile, Size=100, Tracking=0)

• Creates a ShapeString compound shape using the specified String
• FontFile is mandatory and must be the full path of a supported font file
• Size is the height of the resulting text in millimeters
• Tracking is the additional inter-character spacing in millimeters

Example:

import FreeCAD, Draft
Draft.makeShapeString("This is a sample text",
                      "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf",
                      200.0, 10)

Selecting A Font

ShapeString uses the internal geometry of a font to make FreeCAD shapes. To do this it must read the actual font file (*.tff, etc). If the Font Selection box is empty, you must type the full path to the font file or use ... to select a font file.

Limitations

• This tool is not available in FreeCAD versions anterior to 0.14
• TrueType(*.ttf), OpenType(*.otf) and Type1(*.pfb) font files are supported.
• Very small text heights may result in deformed character glyphs due to loss of detail in scaling.
• The current version is limited to left-to-right layouts on a horizontal baseline.
• For creating curved text you can use the macro Circular Text
