cwapi3d-starter 0.2.0

Project scaffolding for cwapi3d Python projects

cwapi3d-starter

Project scaffolding CLI for cwapi3d users.

Prerequisites

• uv installed.
• Python 3.12+

Installation

Global Installation (User)

You can install the tool globally to use it anywhere on your system.

Using uv (Recommended):

# Run from the project root
uv tool install .

or from PyPI:

uv tool install cwapi3d-starter

Using pip:

# Run from the project root
pip install .

From Source (Development)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Brunner246/cwapi3d-starter.git
   cd cwapi3d-starter
   

2. Install dependencies:

   uv sync
   

Usage

If installed globally

Once installed, you can run the cwapi3d-starter command directly from anywhere:

cwapi3d-starter <project_name> --directory <target_directory>

If running from source

To generate a new project using the CLI from the source:

uv run cwapi3d-starter <project_name> --directory <target_directory>

Or simply:

uv run cwapi3d-starter <project_name> # Directory defaults to <project_name> in current folder

Example

# Generate a project named "my_script" in the specified directory
# Note: name and directory name need to be the same name for the generated project to work correctly.
uv run cwapi3d-starter my_script --directory "D:\cadwork\userprofil_2026\3d\API.x64\my_script"

This will generate a ready-to-use project structure for developing Python scripts using the cwapi3d Python stubs for cadwork 3d, including:

• Virtual environment setup (uv)
• VS Code configuration (settings.json)
• Sample code (main.py, example_geometry.py)
• Python package structure
