Populate script with sample and comments showing how to execute. about cadquery-freecad-module HOT 7 CLOSED

Success! Instlallation works correctly on windows x64!

Really? Auto complete and syntax checking work too?

populate the code view initially with an example that works

That's a good suggestion. I should also be able to have the open dialog default to the Examples directory too.

hmm. actually, no-- autocomplete and syntax checking were not working.
syntax highlighting was working. are there any keystrokes i need to type to
get autocomplete to work?

No, it just works out of the box. You're probably seeing the same issue I was fighting today. There's something about how the environment is set up that keeps it from working.

If you thought the module was great without those features, it's going to blow your doors off once I get them working. They work in Ubuntu 14.04 for me. If you want a preview of those features you can fire up an Ubuntu VM and try it out.

If i can get this script format to somehow be uploadable to parametric parts, a quick menu option to upload to PP would be super-sweet.

I agree. Whenever I've pictured the CQ UI in my head, it's always had close integration with ParametricParts.com. Being able to hammer a model out on your desktop and then share/print it on PP.com with one or two clicks would be awesome. I think I'm going to have to add a config file, that will eventually be manipulated via a dialog. We'll need some place to select whether or not you see a light or dark theme (I prefer dark themes to reduce eye strain), default directory for open/save dialogs, PP.com user name, etc.

populate the code view initially with an example that works, with a comment that says "press F2 to run the script" or something along those lines.

Added in commit 943845d

This has been tested in FreeCAD 0.15/Ubuntu 14.04 and FreeCAD 0.14/Windows 8. If there are any problems please reopen this issue.

@dcowden - Please feel free to commit changes to the instructions in the example (or to the example itself). I'm too close to this project to have a really good view of what instructions a new user would like to have.
