TechDraw Module



The TechDraw workbench is used to produce technical drawings based on the 3D model. Each drawing is a Page, and a Page contains many Views of individual 3D objects. Dimensions can be added to Views.

Preference settings

 * The TechDraw module has a preferences screen to adjust default values.

Scripting
The TechDraw module features a Python API so you can use its functions in scripts and macros.

Limitations

 * TechDraw is very much still in development. You should expect bugs!
 * TechDraw is not compatible with the Drawing module. It is possible to convert Drawing Pages to TechDraw Pages using Python.
 * There are minor differences in specifying Editable Texts compare to Drawing templates.
 * TechDraw is available starting with FreeCAD 0.17.
