Topic: This Freecad script will allow import wires from Qelectrotech project

QetWireManager
I created a script in collaboration with AI nomicons/wink
Freecad script will allow you to import wires(conductors) from Qelectrotech and manage it in 3d space and get wires length
https://github.com/Kliurka/QetWireManager
I created the script for my own needs, it satisfies me so far, but comments and requests are welcome. Video with instructions is on github
P.S.
I am not a programmer, I am a vacuum systems engineer nomicons/wink

Re: This Freecad script will allow import wires from Qelectrotech project

Hello Baruse and welcome,

I can't try out your code, I didn't know Freecad and I can't learn it at the moment (health problem), but the video is very very complete and this functionality is very much in demand, which should interest a lot of people !!!! nomicons/wink

Why do you use the Appache licence, if it's not indiscreet, I saw that it wasn't compatible with the QET licence?
Edit: I'm not skilled about legal matters too!!


Best regards,
Laurent

Re: This Freecad script will allow import wires from Qelectrotech project

Hello Baruse!

Very impressing! 
Even as an excited FreeCAD user... nomicons/smile

As I am still planning and writing a code to create wiring-plans from QET-Drawings, I struggle with coming-/ going-references and elements that aren't real parts like jumps and splices:
Does your script handle some of those?
Does your script handle diagrams that have more than one folio and use references?

Please don't feel offended: Just simple questions!

I chose this license because it appear to me that it give of freedom, but maybe I'm wrong (I'm not skilled about legal matters). I think we can change it, if it not correct.
I think it should be as free as possible with Freecad compatibility. Need help with this

It will be a challenge, to resolve all XRefs!  nomicons/wink

Some words about licenses.

To start with: I am not a lawyer!
If I understand it correctly, the MIT licence is the most permissive; even commercial use is allowed with acknowledgement of the original author.

Re: This Freecad script will allow import wires from Qelectrotech project

I didn't into detail, I simply changed the license, you recommendation. I also added "cross reference". If the same conductor has "Going arrow" or "Coming arrow" attributes, then take the opposite ends and connects them. Need more test.
