Developing FreeCAD Addons

Wanna make some sick addons for your CAD software?

Well guess what, it's about to get messy, like 20 years
worth of legacy code messy and that's just the start.

Scared yet? Well if not, then let's start on your journey.


🪖 Audience

This guide is intent for the untainted souls that have
been told You should make an addon for this.

It might also be of interest to people that hadn't heard
about the sunken cost fallacy before starting their project.

Everyone is welcome, except people on mobile devices.
This is a desktop first guide, you have been warned.


🚆 Journey

You are a free person, go along with the path set
forth or jump to whatever topic catches your eye.

This intro is structured as a linear path you
can follow page by page at your own pace.

At the end you should have a basic understanding
of how this stuff works and hopefully - if no one
broke any legs on the way - have a working addon.


📖 Pages

  1. What does an Addon even do?

  2. How to Structure your addon.

  3. How to use the Template repo.

  4. How to fill in the Manifest file.
