yorik 2014-11-10 23:55 administrator ~0005303	Hm these are two independent things... I'm not sure if it would be a good thing or not to reset the work plane when opening a new model. You might have set it a certain way in another file, that might be convenient to keep it. Besides, at the moment there is no mechanism to detect when a new document is opened from python, so this feature cannot be imlemented right now. But let's leave it open, an idea could arise.

yorik 2017-06-05 15:46 administrator ~0009287	Still no idea on how to detect when a new document has been created/opened :(

yorik 2018-12-05 12:58 administrator ~0012237	This is now possible with the DocumentObserver. But since it can be disruptive, it's best to implement after the 0.18 release.

yorik 2021-09-21 08:56 administrator ~0015951	New proposal: implementing per-document working plane The grid system is already per view, so each view can display a different grid already. The python interface should stays the same. You just get and set the working plane and shouldn't worry about anything else Two possibilities: 1) FreeCAD.DraftWorkingPlane still give you the current working plane of the document. On switching documents, this value gets changed. A doc observer changes the value each time the active doc is changed or 2) FreeCAD.DraftWorkingPlane is replaced with Draft.getWorkingPlane() which does all the work. I favour 2) but it will break some workbenches The working plane data can be stringified and saved to document meta Draft.getWorkingPlane() always reads from the document meta
