Adding new tool?

[easyw]

It would be perfect to be added to _tools dir...
Probably as a standalone file I think...
Thx for your additions!!!
Maurice 😄

would you mind also to have a look at this commit:
e69ec53
I removed the old way to check if CQ is available, to be complaint with the add-on installer of FC that will place a folder named cadquery_module instead of CadQuery...
in main_generator.py there is already a check:

try:
# Gui.SendMsgToActiveView("Run")
from Gui.Command import *
Gui.activateWorkbench("CadQueryWorkbench")
import cadquery as cq
from Helpers import show
# CadQuery Gui
except: # catch all exceptions
msg="missing CadQuery 0.3.0 or later Module!\r\n\r\n"
msg+="https://github.com/jmwright/cadquery-freecad-module/wiki\n"
reply = QtGui.QMessageBox.information(None,"Info ...",msg)
# maui end

#checking requirements
checkRequirements(cq)

thx

Thanks @easyw I will submit a PR to add my code.

About your commit - I have resynced from your master so that change is in my fork. Did you want me to do anything else about it?

[easyw]

your are fine Thx 😄
just check if you have removed too the old way to check CQ presence...
have a look i.e. in my main_generator.py from line 119 to line 133
in your main_generator.py I see the old method from line 122 to line 140
Thx again

Got it now - thanks 😄 I will update that in my main_generator.py files.

Moving ribbon.py is not as easy as I thought. Works OK when I run main_generator.py because it sets the relative path to _tools. But when I run the model .py file from within CQ (as when developing and testing), FreeCAD copies it to a temp folder so the path doesn't work. I can fix it by including a full path in the model file, but I don't like that solution 😞

So maybe I will leave ribbon.py where it is.

Ok fine like that... No prob :)
