Description
The Quadrant tool adds Cosmetic Vertices at the 90/180/270 degree points of a circular Edge (the 0 degree vertex should already be there as a geometric vertex).
Cosmetic Vertices at quadrant points of a circle
How to use
- Select one or more (circular) Edges in a View.
- Press the 16px Quadrant button
- Cosmetic Vertices will be added at the quarter-point(s) of the Edge(s).
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: TechDraw API 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.
>>> v = App.ActiveDocument.View
>>> v.clearCV()
>>> App.activeDocument().recompute()
Notes
- This tool can actually be used on any Edge, not just circles.
