FreeCAD Python scripting tests

This page very incomplete ...

If you open FreeCAD to its Start page:
- first set preferences and views so that the python console is visible.
  Then you can type python commands directly into the console to be executetd.
- If you type this command:
  >>> doc = FreeCAD.newDocument()
  then you will create a new drawing document with an internal variable name of "doc"
  (however the actual FC drawing will be "Unnamed.")
- exec(open("/home/user1/Desktop/tests/Test1.py").read())
  - See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/436198/what-is-an-alternative-to-exe...
- ???
  FreeCADcmd.exe myScript.py
  -or: freecadcmd myScript.py
- $ freecad-python3 - P stp2 dae.py
If you want to operate on an existing drawing, you must find the object names of the objects you want to manipulate
