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:
| Variable name | Referenced object(s) |
|---|---|
doc |
The document containing the selected object |
lnk |
The selected Link object (only created if the selected object is a Link) |
obj |
Depending on the selected object: The selected object itself (if the selected object is not a Link) |
shp |
Depending on the type of obj:The |
sub |
The first selected subshape (only created if at least one subshape is selected) |
subs |
A list containing all subshapes (only created if two or more subshapes are selected) |
>>> ### 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
- Select a single object or one or more subshapes belonging to a single object.
- There are several ways to invoke the command:
- If required the Python console opens.
- 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 thePart::Featureclass, theshpvariable 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)
