Jupyter ❤️ FreeCAD

[SylvainCorlay]

Regarding the openscad support, this is not what we have in mind. The current grant should allow us to streamline this demonstrator.

We would really like to engage with folks on the FreeCAD developer community (as it is the first file format that we decided to support) also to identify potential next steps and collaborations.

Next month we will be having our first (virtual) all-developer meetup -- maybe you could join us? It's going to be on the first Sunday of May at 19h00 CET.

@SylvainCorlay thanks for this great initiative. I tried it out and managed to open the CAD "tab" in JupyterLab, and new drawings are possible. However, any models that I load are not rendered. Could you help me out with figuring out what may be going on?

So far this is what I have:
JupyterLab 4.0.0b2
jupytercad (through pip)
freecad 0.20.2 (through snap)

Thanks for trying it out, we're working on supporting jupyterlab 4 beta, currently, it only works with jupyterlab 4.0.0a32.

FYI, JupyterCAD 0.1 was released last week, following the final release of JupyterLab 4.0.

I have a similar issue, trying to open the "example1.FCStd", nothing is displayed

FREECADPATH = "/usr/lib64/freecad/lib64"
import sys
sys.path.append(FREECADPATH)
import FreeCAD as freecad
from jupytercad import CadDocument
doc = CadDocument('example1.FCStd')
display(doc)

Hi, could you upgrade to JupyterCAD 0.2.3? The alpha version does not work with JupyterLab 4.x

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, no luck. Tried both JupyterCAD 0.2.3 and JupiterLab extension. I can create a JCAD with new solids, but cannot open a FreeCAD file.

Could you open an issue here https://github.com/QuantStack/jupytercad/issues with more detail about your Python environment? Since you can work with a JCAD file, the issue may be related to importing FreeCAD
