Donation Sponsor

$5 $10 $25 $100 $200 Other

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!

Std Open

Description

The Std Open command opens a file. If the file is not a native FreeCAD file (*.FCStd) its geometry will be imported into a new document. See Std Import for more information.

Usage

There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Open... button.
- Select the File → Open... option from the menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+O.
Optionally select the correct file format in the dialog box.
Select a file.
Press the Open button.

Options

Press Esc or the Cancel button to abort the command.

Scripting

To open a document use the open(filepath) method or the openDocument(filepath, [hidden<nowiki>=</nowiki>False]) method of the FreeCAD application.

These methods create and return a document and load a project file into it. The filepath argument must be a string pointing to an existing file. If the file doesn\'t exist or the file cannot be loaded an I/O exception is thrown. In this case the created document is kept, but will be empty. If hidden<nowiki>=</nowiki>True is used, the document won\'t be displayed in the GUI and no tab will appear for it. This allows performing automatic operations on a document and closing it without disrupting the user interface.

For a scripting example see Std New.
