This course covers Python scripting in FreeCAD. It starts with basic setup, and moves on to text output and creating macros as toolbar buttons. It covers simple user input, data types and conversions, operators, conditions, loops, functions, and dictionaries. Further topics include colouring objects, object collision, using lists of coordinates to pad / pocket sketches, using an image mask to create patterns, animating a set of gears, creating a GUI for macros, plotting co-ordinates from a text file and kinematic-like animation. Finally, topics include randomness, snap tools, 3D collision detection, tips on using the Python console, Spring animation, and customising widget with QT GUI.
