Introduction

The Std Base is not a real workbench. This page just collects all commands from the base system which do not belong to a specific workbench, but which may be used in all of them.

The base commands and functions normally start with the prefix Std, indicating that they are "standard".

Tools

Most of the commands in this page can be accessed from menus, toolbars, and context menus.

Standard menu

File     Edit     View     Tools     Macro     Windows     Help

The standard menu is composed of 7 sub-menus:

  • File The File menu provides commands related to file input and output, such as Open, Print, Export, etc.
  • Edit The Edit menu provides commands to change the model, such as Copy, Paste, etc.
  • View The View menu provides commands to change the 3D view and the view properties of objects in the model, and commands related to the display of interface components.
  • Tools The Tools menu provides commands for debugging models, customizing FreeCAD's behavior, as well as auxiliary commands.
  • Macro The Macro menu provides commands related to the recording and execution of macros
  • Windows The Windows menu allows switching and rearranging of the Main view area windows.
