Add --marlin-config argument
Marlin requires certain configuration settings in order to work well
with FreeCAD. Those configuration settings will be added to the
end of the gcode file as comments, when --marlin-config is entered
as a post processor argument.
For PEP8 conformity:
Change some double-quotes to single-quotes.
Change sequence of import statements.
Modify code format to PEP8
Indentation and line length meet PEP8 requirements.
Other aspects of PEP8 are partially implemented.
Add code to remove embedded comments
Also, minor tweaks throughout
Change outstring to outList for clarity
Change format_outstring to format_outList
Change: if PathUtil.opProperty(obj, 'Active') is False:
To: if PathUtil.opProperty(obj, 'Active') == False:
Format file to PEP8 standard
Format first pass using:
autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive
Manually adjust format for better appearance
Recheck format using http://pep8online.com/
Change code related to pythonopen into with open() code

Overview
-
Freedom to build what you want FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history to change its parameters.
-
Create 3D from 2D and back FreeCAD lets you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
-
Designed for your needs FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture, whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
-
Cross platform FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux
-
Underlying technology
- OpenCASCADE A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
- Coin3D library Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
- Python FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
- Qt Graphical user interface built with Qt
Installing
Precompiled (installable) packages are available for Windows and macOS on the Releases page.
On most Linux distributions, FreeCAD is directly installable from the software center application.
Other options are described at the wiki Download page.

Compiling
Compiling FreeCAD requires installation of several libraries and their development files such as OCCT (Open Cascade), Coin and Qt, listed in the pages below. Once this is done, FreeCAD can be compiled with CMake. On Windows, these libraries are bundled and offered by the FreeCAD team in a convenient package. On Linux, they are usually found in your distribution's repositories, and on macOS and other platforms, you will usually have to compile them yourself.
The pages below contain up-to-date build instructions:
Usage & Getting help
The FreeCAD wiki contains documentation on general FreeCAD usage, Python scripting, and development. These pages might help you get started:
The FreeCAD forum is also a great place to find help and solve specific problems you might encounter when learning to use FreeCAD.
