| Summary | 0000207: Importing FreeCAD projects | ||||
| Description | I'm designing a complex system, and I'm working on several parts. I've began to save the parts in different files because I wasn't sure I wouldn't break everything at some time, but now I can't import those saved projects into a single one. It would be nice to have a new group created for each imported FCStd. Or maybe if it's not this way, code an exporter for a format that FreeCAD can import, but this is likely to have already been asked in the feature list. | ||||

If I understand well, you mean be able to import/merge a .FcStd file into an already open document? |
|
|
Yes. |
|
|
I think that might be easy to do... Werner if you read this, what do you think? |
|
|
At the moment you have the possibility to copy all your objects from the source document (which saves all the data to the clipboard and can take a while) and then paste it into you target document. But at the moment we have one problem if both documents contain objects with the same names because it leads to some wrong dependencies of the pasted objects. I have already an idea how to solve that. Once the above issue is solved I'll implement a direct import function of a document (which I will implement as separate command) without going over copy/paste. This will be rather easy, then. |

Oh I didn't notice that the copy paste was possible between opened documents. Maybe a simple way to avoid the name conflict would be to paste into a new group and prefix pasted object references with the name of this group. But that probably requires to change the way objects are referenced, using both group path and object name, and not only object name. But the separate import function would be nice indeed. Thanks! |

Done in rev. 3825 |

|
Thanks again for taking into account my feature requests, and sorry for reopening it, but I don't find how to import a document inside another, it keeps on being opened next to it, like it did before, in a new windows. When using the importing dialog, the file filter is not set properly to accept .FcStd files either. |
|
|
As said above I have made an extra command for that. It's not integrated into the Import command because internally it works a bit differently. The command is named "Merge project...". Until now it was not added to the Complete workbench and that's why a probably didn't see it. With the latest revision you should find it also under the File menu. |
