Draft Join

Description

The Draft Join command joins Draft Lines and Draft Wires into a single wire. This command is the counterpart of the Draft Split command.

Usage

1. The end points of the Draft Lines and/or Draft Wires to be joined must be exactly coincident. If required first adjust points to ensure that this is the case.
2. Select two or more Draft Lines and/or Draft Wires.
3. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Draft Join button.
   • Select the Modification → Join option from the menu.
   • Use the keyboard shortcut: J then O.

Notes

• Draft Lines and Draft Wires can also be joined with the Draft Wire command or the Draft Upgrade command.
• To join objects that are not Draft Lines or Draft Wires you can try using Draft Upgrade and/or Draft Downgrade on them one or more times first.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

To join wires use the join_wires method ((v0.19) ) of the Draft module. This methods replaces the deprecated joinWires method. This method returns None.

join_wires(wires)

• wiresis a list of wire objects to be joined.

Example:

import FreeCAD as App
import Draft

doc = App.newDocument()

p1 = App.Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = App.Vector(500, 0, 0)
p3 = App.Vector(500, 500, 0)
p4 = App.Vector(0, 500, 0)

wire1 = Draft.make_wire([p1, p2])
wire2 = Draft.make_wire([p2, p3])
wire3 = Draft.make_wire([p3, p4])
wire4 = Draft.make_wire([p4, p1])

Draft.join_wires([wire1, wire3, wire2, wire4])
doc.recompute()
