# OSE Universal Axis Macro
The [Universal Axis](https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/Universal_CNC_Axis) is a modular and scalable CNC axis for creating cartesian CNC machines.
This FreeCAD macro creates Universal Axis objects allowing the user to adjust properties like `Length` automatically.
## Setup
1. Clone the repository
2. Link the macro to your FreeCAD macro directory by running the `link_macro.sh` shell script:
```
./link_macro.sh
```
## Python Usage
```python
from universal_axis import create_universal_axis
document = App.ActiveDocument
universal_axis = create_universal_axis(document, 'UniversalAxis')
document.recompute()
```
If you need more fine-grained control over the geometry of the Universal Axis object, then you can [explode the compound](https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Part_ExplodeCompound).
