First of all THANKS! I was using cadquery-server to generate a static site with my models. While it works very well it is quite hard to customize. Sphinx makes that MUCH easier. One feature I miss though is the ability to export links to the models for download.
When I present my models I like to provide a download link to the part. Like below:
Right now I just have my pipeline run the export before the sphinx round and throw them in the _static directory. It would be cool to have a directive like this:
.. cadquery-export::
:format: stl
:caption: 3D print
:name: front.stl
result = cadquery.Workplane("front").box(2, 2, 0.5)
Where :format: is optional and the :name: would be used similarly to the cadquery export behavior.
That would present a link for download similar to the download directive below:
:download:`3D print <front.stl>`
Theoretically, the export function of the cqgi interface could be used. I have never written a directive before, so maybe that won't work for generating a file.
One other choice (while IMHO less flexible) could be to add a parameter like :export: file.stl that can add a download link next to the image like the image above.
.. cadquery-svg::
:export: file.3mf
result = cadquery.Workplane("front").box(2, 2, 0.5)
show_object(result)

@geiseri I think this feature would be a great addition to the extension. My intention is to add new features as a Sphinx domain so the syntax would be something like:
.. cadquery:export::
:format: stl
:caption: 3D print
:name: front.stl
result = cadquery.Workplane("front").box(2, 2, 0.5)
