Description

The Std SendToPythonConsole command creates variables in the Python Console referencing a selected object and its selected subshapes, along with some other useful references. The variables and the code involved can be used in the development of Python code.

Depending on the selected object and its selected subshapes, if any, the following variables are created:

>>> ### Begin command Std_SendToPythonConsole
>>> try:
>>>     del(doc,lnk,obj,shp,sub,subs)
>>> except Exception:
>>>     pass
>>> 
>>> doc = App.getDocument("Unnamed")
>>> lnk = doc.getObject("Link")
>>> obj = lnk.getLinkedObject()
>>> shp = obj.Shape
>>> sub = obj.getSubObject("Edge10")
>>> subs = [obj.getSubObject("Edge10"),obj.getSubObject("Face3"),obj.getSubObject("Vertex5"),]
>>> ### End command Std_SendToPythonConsole

Example output: an edge, a face, and a vertex of a Link to a Part Box were selected

Usage

1. Select a single object or one or more subshapes belonging to a single object.
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Select the Edit → Send to Python Console option from the menu.
   • Select the Send to Python Console option from the Tree View context menu or 3D View context menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+P.
3. If required the Python Console opens.
4. The Python Console receives the keyboard focus.

Notes

• All previously created variables are deleted each time the command is run.

• If the selected object is a Link (App::Link) and the Linked object is derived from the Part::Feature class, the shp variable will be the shape of the Linked object. If the Link has been transformed or scaled and you want to access the scaled/transformed shape, you can do so with this code:

lnk_shp = Part.getShape(lnk)
