Scripting

See also: FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To change to dimetric view use the viewDimetric method of the ActiveView object. This method is not available if FreeCAD is in console mode.

import FreeCADGui

FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.viewDimetric()
FreeCADGui.ActiveDocument.ActiveView.getViewDirection()
