If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

We call sponsoring the act of donating money recurrently to the FreeCAD project. You can do that as an individual or as a company or institution, through different channels or platforms, depending on your preferences.

Sponsoring FreeCAD allows its developers to count on a steady flow of income, so it allows the FPA to plan things ahead, and the FreeCAD developers to invest themselves more seriously into FreeCAD.

To encourage persons and companies to sponsor the FreeCAD project, we have created different sponsoring tiers. When donating regularly to the project, unless you prefer to stay anonymous, your name, company name and/or logo will be featured on this website, depending on the tier you fit into:

  • ♥ Normal sponsor : from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.
  • 🥉 Bronze sponsor : from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.
  • 🥈 Silver sponsor : from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.
  • 🥇 Gold sponsor : from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Description

When working with FreeCAD there are times when you want to quickly change the Drawstyle of the object you are working with. This is available through the Drawstyle pull-down menu where any Drawstyle may be selected. This macro makes 2 of the Drawstyles available as a clickable button on a toolbar which the user may click to toggle back and forth between the two Drawstyles. The user can modify the macro code to select which 2 Drawstyles they wish to toggle between. This does not add functionality missing in the Drawstyles pull-down menu, but rather an increased convenience level.

Installation

Installation is comprised of copying the two code to the appropriate Macro directory and invoking it from the Macro menu. It is much preferable to add it both to a toolbar so as to be more easily available.

  • see How to install macros for information on how to install this macro code
  • see Customize Toolbars for information how to install as a button on a toolbar

Usage

Select an object, then click on the associated toolbar button, or invoke from the Macro menu. The Drawstyle of the slected object will toggle between the two drawstyles specified in the macro code (see code listing below). Note: The specification for each Drawstyle is listed in the code, by modifying the code (which is documented in the macro code) the user may select which 2 Drawstyles are toggled between.

User Interface

The selected object will be redrawn in the other drawstyle specified in the macro.

Macro: Toggle Draw Style

This macros allows the user to switch between different Drawstyles by clicking on

the button of a Macro in a toolbar.

initial code: triplus

macro-isation: piffpoof

This macro switches (or toggles) between 2 selected styles from the Drawstyle menu.

As written the macro toggles between "WireFrame" and "As is".

Immediately below this text is a list of the legal values for the Drawstyle menu.

The first 2 lines of executable code are of the form "DrawstyleA = " followed by

the 2nd line which is of the form "DrawstyleB = ".

These 2 lines specify which of the Drawstyle values the macro will toggle between.

Drawstyle "As is" is the system default and so is specified as the first drawstyle.

The second line specifies which drawstyle will be toggled to and from.

Any of the legal values may be used, so if, for example, it is desired to toggle between

the Shaded and Points drawstyles, then the 2 lines of code would be modified to be:

drawstyleA = "Shaded"

drawstyleB = "Points"

but remember that the hash signs ('#') are not to be present on the executable lines.

Legal Values for Drawstyle

0 = "As is"

1 = "Flat lines"

2 = "Shaded

3 = "Wireframe"

4 = "Points"

5 = "Hidden line"

6 = "No shading"
