Script to generate production files (part -> step, dxf, pdf)


## Prerequisite:

- git (install: `winget install --id Git.Git -e --source winget`)

## Automatic install

`curl -o installFrom0.cmd https://git.lurenaud.com/lurenaud/SldwrksExporter/raw/branch/main/installFromZeroScript/installFrom0.cmd; .\installFrom0.cmd`

## Manual install
1. Get the code:

- `git clone https://git.lurenaud.com/lurenaud/SldwrksExporter.git`

2. Setup python env

- create venv `python -m venv .venv` 
- activate environement `.venv\Script\Activate.ps1` 
- install requirements `pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Common problems:
- Cannot activate venv, script : in an admin terminal run `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned`


## Use:
In terminal: `.\gui.py path\toFloderOfFiles` will generate step, pdf and dxf in a export folder
Double click the gui.py file

# Generate exe file

Using auto-py-to-exe
`pip install auto-py-to-exe`
Works in single file but need to add the ps1 and ddl files in the same directory
