Difficulty Building Documentation

[sdrucker4]

I'm on a windows 10 system and am not sure how to access or build documentation. ccad works great so far! using anaconda to handle the libraries.

While I know these should be separate issue tickets,,,

• do you know whether pythoncc / ccad works with miniconda?
• is there a parasolid save/export command in ccad?
• do you know how to call anaconda from within a python script rather than having to type "python" into command line before executing?

thanks! Sam

Hi Sam,

I'm glad you're enjoying ccad. Before you get too far, check out Issue #11. ccad has issues with the latest/greatest OCE/pythonocc.

The html documentation can be found at ccad/doc/html/contents.html, where ccad is where you installed ccad. It's built with Sphinx. Once you've installed Sphinx, you can build the documentation with

sphinx-build -b html sourcedir builddir

where sourcedir is ccad/doc.

I don't know anything about anaconda or miniconda, which unsatisfactorily answers your first and third bullet. No, there is currently no parasolid save/export. If the latest/greatest OCE/pythonocc supports it, however, it should be easy to add to ccad. You could use the to_stl, to_step, and to_iges routines as templates.

Charles,

Thank you for the speedy & comprehensive reply, I have since been able to build and use ccad's documentation- feel free to close the issue.
