OpenSCAD highlighter for Notepad++
pinshape
Similar to nerd256, who added an OpsenScad syntax highlighter to Linux's Kate editor, I decided to upload the one I use for the popular Notepad++ editor on Windows. UPDATE: After using it awhile, I discovered some quirks that are now remedied in v2.0. UPDATE 2: There are now instructions on how to launch OpenSCAD with the current file from Notepad++! Instructions To install code highlighting... Download the XML config file from this thing. Open Notepad++ and go to the menu: Settings -> Import -> Import Style Themes Select the XML file. Any already-opened .scad files you may have to select OpenScad from the Language menu for the changes to take effect. ======= To allow opening of a SCAD file in OpenSCAD from N++... 1. In N++, hit F5. 2. Type in the following (including quotes): "C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" 2a. You may need to tweak that slightly if you installed somewhere non-default. 3. Hit the "Save..." button and give it a creative name like "OpenSCAD" and a keyboard shortcut if you want. Now there should be a new entry in the Run menu that opens a new OpenSCAD instance with the current file!
With this file you will be able to print OpenSCAD highlighter for Notepad++ with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on OpenSCAD highlighter for Notepad++.
