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.
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).

Combination that toggle global display mode when nothing is selected and/or toggle selected objects display mode if objects are selected. When objects are selected global display mode is automatically set to As is:
