Alibre Script Examples and Experiments

• This repository collects examples, demos, API references, and editor stub files for writing Alibre Script, so you have somewhere to look when you are learning the API.
  • What is here
    • Worked example scripts covering sketches, parts, assemblies, and reference geometry.
    • A library of longer examples grouped by subject, such as mechanical, mathematical, and woodworking.
    • Stub files that give your editor autocomplete and type checking for the Alibre Script API.
    • A written record of the API surface, for checking what a call expects.
    • Showcase scripts that demonstrate what is achievable.
  • What you need
    • Alibre Design with the AlibreScript add-on installed, to run the scripts.
    • Visual Studio Code if you want the stub files to power autocomplete.
  • Getting started
    • Browse source/alibre-script-examples/ for short, single-topic scripts.
    • Move on to source/alibre-script-library-examples/ for longer worked examples.
    • Open source/Alibre-Script.code-workspace in VS Code to pick up the type checking setup.
    • Paste a script into the Alibre Script window and run it.
  • Where things live
    • source/ holds the examples, stub files, API notes, and showcases.
    • documentation/ holds reference notes.
  • Good to know
    • Scripts run under IronPython 2.7, so keep them compatible with Python 2.7.
    • The examples keep their inline comments on purpose, because those comments are what makes them worth reading.
