The third section by default contains non-visible code to create a webpage scripting editor interface

The EditArea code editing interface is used to overlay the basic Textarea (above) and provide a richer GUI editing and navigation experiance.

JavaScript Editor Interface user notes


Only ONE function code block is opened by the JavaScript Editor Interface, all other file content outside of the Known-function is removed on file load. Saving the loaded file will cause loss of other functions, code, and text which may exist outside of the Known-function.


Only Known-function names and files that comply with KitCAD i3 KGC syntax are supported. All unknown-functions and unknown-files are named unknown by default.

The untitled.js filename is applied to all files on save, unless altered by user when saving.

To Save requires the Javascript Editor Interface to be viewed from within the KitCADi3ie5.exe computer software application; With Internet Explorer as the default webbrowser control.
