How to make this macro reusable? - FreeCAD Forum

Hello,

so i just started to do some macro writing and had to get some help by ChatGPT because i am no programmer. But i made something useful for me.

    
import FreeCAD
import PartDesignGui
import Draft
import Part
import PartDesign
from FreeCAD import Base

doc_name = App.activeDocument().Label

sels = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelectionEx('', 0)
facebinder1 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[0])
facebinder2 = Draft.make_facebinder(sels[1])
Draft.autogroup(facebinder1)
Draft.autogroup(facebinder2)
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
App.getDocument(doc_name).addObject('Part::Loft','Loft')
App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Sections=[App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder, App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder001, ]
App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Solid=True
App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Ruled=False
App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Closed=False

I select two faces from two bodies and it will create two seperate facebinders and performs a loft with those two.

This allows me to make a loft in one fell swoop. However the facebinders created by the

Draft.make_facebinder(sels[X])

will always come out as Facerbinder and Facebinder001 and counting upwards. I don't see any way to change those names. Yes, i can do something with labels, but the following part of

App.getDocument(doc_name).ActiveObject.Sections=[App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder, App.getDocument(doc_name).Facebinder001, ]

doesn't seem to work with labels... As you can see Facebinder and Facebinder001 are hardcoded in there. Is there any way to either fully rename items so i could go for facebinder_temp1 and _temp2 and then rename them afterwards to make room for another _temp1 and _temp2 again or if i can somehow let the Loft function know what Facebinders were created prior?

Sorry if this is a little bit unstructured i am bashing my head right now... maybe you can help me out here.

Thanks!

EDIT:

Solution was:
