""" This page is in the table of contents. Coil is a script to coil wire or filament around an object. ==Operation== The default 'Activate Coil' checkbox is on. When it is on, the functions described below will work, when it is off, the functions will not be called. ==Settings== ===Minimum Tool Distance=== Default is twenty millimeters. Defines the minimum distance between the wire dispenser and the object. The 'Minimum Tool Distance' should be set to the maximum radius of the wire dispenser, times at least 1.3 to get a reasonable safety margin. ==Examples== The following examples coil the file Screw Holder Bottom.stl. The examples are run in a terminal in the folder which contains Screw Holder Bottom.stl and coil.py. > python coil.py This brings up the coil dialog. > python coil.py Screw Holder Bottom.stl The coil tool is parsing the file: Screw Holder Bottom.stl ..
