# Tools
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each tool is stored as a JSON file which has the shape's path and values
|
||||||
|
for all attributes of the shape. It also includes all additional
|
||||||
|
parameters and their values.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Storing a tool as a JSON file sounds great but eliminates the option of
|
||||||
|
an accurate thumbnail. On the other hand, storing each tool as a `*.fcstd`
|
||||||
|
file requires more space, and does not allow for generating tools. If a
|
||||||
|
person has an extensive tool arsenal, they might want to script the
|
||||||
|
generation of tools, which is easily done for a `*.json` file but
|
||||||
|
practically impossible for `*.fcstd` files.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When a tool is instantiated in a job the PartDesign body is created from
|
||||||
|
the shape, and the attributes and constraints are set according to the
|
||||||
|
values from the JSON file. All additional parameters are created as
|
||||||
|
properties on the object. This provides the correct shape and dimensions
|
||||||
|
which can be used to generate a point cloud or mesh for advanced
|
||||||
|
algorithms (and potentially simulation).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Tool Libraries
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to each tool being stored in its own file, and the storage/organization
|
||||||
|
of those files being quite flexible, the importance of a tool library for
|
||||||
|
organisational purposes is quite diminished. The user is free to organise
|
||||||
|
their tools in whichever directory hierarchy they see fit, and can also
|
||||||
|
name them as best fits their use and organisation. A _tool library_ is
|
||||||
|
nevertheless a great representation for a physical grouping of tools,
|
||||||
|
such as in an automatic tool changer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A tool library is a (JSON) file with a mapping of tool ID to the path of
|
||||||
|
the tool file. As a consequence, each tool can be in multiple libraries
|
||||||
|
and doesn't have an `ID` of its own. The `ID` is a property of the library
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a tool from a tool library (or an entire tool library) is added to a
|
||||||
|
job it retains its `ID` from the library as a property. Adding a tool bit
|
||||||
|
directly results in the tool getting the next free ID assigned.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Tool Controllers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tool controllers largely stay the same as they are today. As an additional
|
||||||
|
feature, it should be possible to _copy_ a tool controller, which allows
|
||||||
|
for easy feed and speed changes for the same tool.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The above requirement highlights one change though, that the `ID` should
|
||||||
|
be a property of the tool bit, and not of the tool controller. There are
|
||||||
|
two requirements that are currently mapped to a single `ID`. There needs
|
||||||
|
to be an identification of which tool controller is being used by a
|
||||||
|
certain op, and which tool number to use for a `M6` command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# Paths and Extensibility
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following directory structure is used for supplied
|
||||||
|
(shipped with FreeCAD) tools:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
Tools
|
||||||
|
+ Bit
|
||||||
|
+ Library
|
||||||
|
+ Shape
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Strictly speaking, a user is free to store their tools wherever they
|
||||||
|
want and however they want. By default, the file dialog will open the
|
||||||
|
corresponding directory (depending on context), or whichever directory
|
||||||
|
the user opened last.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The above directory structure with the most common default tools shipped
|
||||||
|
with FreeCAD should be installed analogous to TechDraw's templates.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to create a new tool
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Set the tool's Label, this will show up in the object tree.
|
||||||
|
1. Select a tool shape from the existing shape files.
|
||||||
|
If your tool shape doesn't exist, you'll have to create a new
|
||||||
|
shape, see below for details.
|
||||||
|
1. Each tool bit shape has its own set of parameters,
|
||||||
|
fill them with the tool's values.
|
||||||
|
1. Select additional parameters.
|
||||||
|
1. Save the tool under the path/file that makes sense to you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to create a new tool bit Shape
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The shape file for a tool bit is expected to contain a PartDesign body
|
||||||
|
which represents the tool as a 3D solid. The PartDesign body should be
|
||||||
|
parametric based on a PropertyBag object so that, when the properties
|
||||||
|
of the PropertyBag are changed the solid is updated to the correct
|
||||||
|
representation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Create a new FreeCAD document.
|
||||||
|
1. Open the `PartDesign` workbench, create a body, and give the body
|
||||||
|
a label you want to show up in the bit selection.
|
||||||
|
1. Open the Path workbench and (with the PartDesign body selected)
|
||||||
|
create a PropertyBag:
|
||||||
|
menu 'Path' -> 'Utils' -> 'Property Bag'
|
||||||
|
* This creates a PropertyBag object inside the Body
|
||||||
|
(assuming it was selected).
|
||||||
|
* Add properties that define the tool bit's shape, and put those
|
||||||
|
into the group 'Shape'.
|
||||||
|
* Add any other properties to the bag which might be useful for
|
||||||
|
the tool bit.
|
||||||
|
1. Construct the body of the tool bit and assign expressions referencing
|
||||||
|
properties from the PropertyBag (in the `Shape` Group) for all
|
||||||
|
constraints.
|
||||||
|
* Position the tip of the tool bit on the origin (0,0).
|
||||||
|
1. Save the document as a new file in the Shape directory.
|
||||||
|
* Before saving the document, make sure you have _Save Thumbnail_
|
||||||
|
selected, and _Add program logo_ deselected in FreeCAD's
|
||||||
|
preferences.
|
||||||
|
* Also, make sure to switch to _Front View_ and
|
||||||
|
_Fit content to screen_ .
|
||||||
|
* Whatever you see when saving the document will end up being the
|
||||||
|
visual representation of tool bits with this shape.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not that 'Shape' is the only property group which has special meaning
|
||||||
|
for tool bits. All other property groups are copied verbatim to the
|
||||||
|
tool bit object when one is created.
