[Solved]How to add buttons in mainwindow?

[mea08kw]

Hi Forum

I'm using the latest version of FreeCAD on Windows 11.

I'm wondering how to add customized buttons in mainwindow.

See attached image as an example, the default rotation tool.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello, it is difficult to guess what you are wanting to do.

The navicube is on the "3d view" window.

"3d view" is very different from mainwindow that is usually intended as the main FreeCAD window, that you will obtain using:

Code: Select all

mw = FreeCADGui.getMainWindow()

"3d view" is different from other part of FreeCAD as it is manage by Coin3D (pivy) so it have a totally different behaviour than "Qt based windows".

What do you intend for mainwindow?

Hi Carlo

Thanks for your reply.

What I want to do is to put some customized buttons in mainwindow to execute my own python functions(e.g. generating a cube).

In FreeCAD, we could simply add command buttons in toolbar area.

If I could add buttons like "3d view" in mainwindow, I assume the human-software interaction may improve somehow.

Maybe the PieMenu addon is for you.

Thanks a million, Jolbas.

This widget indeed is what I expected.

Maybe its mechanism is different from "3d view" navi cube, anyway it reaches my goal.

Thanks again.
