Description

Script optimized for all languages and to object selected or all objects.

Tree macro are available:

When working with FreeCAD there are times when you want to quickly change the Drawstyle of the object you are working with. This is available through the Drawstyle pull-down menu where any Drawstyle may be selected. This macro makes 2 of the Drawstyles available as a clickable button on a toolbar which the user may click to toggle back and forth between the two Drawstyles.

Installation

Installation is comprised of copying the two code to the appropriate Macro directory and invoking it from the Macro menu. It is much preferable to add it both to a toolbar so as to be more easily available.

Usage

Select an object, then click on the associated toolbar button, or invoke from the Macro menu. The Drawstyle of the slected object will toggle between the two drawstyles specified in the macro code (see code listing below).

Script

Combination that toggle global display mode when nothing is selected and/or toggle selected objects display mode if objects are selected. When objects are selected global display mode is automatically set to As is:
