Manual:All workbenches at a glance/ru

Главная сложность новых пользователей FreeCAD - узнать, в каком верстаке найти нужный инструмент. Расположенная ниже таблица даст Вам обзор наиболее важных верстаков и их инструментов. Более полный список верстаков смотрите в документации FreeCAD.

Четыре верстака так же разработаны для работы в парах, и один из них полностью включён в другой: верстак Arch содержит все инструменты Draft, а PartDesign - все инструменты Sketcher. Тем не менее, для ясности они разделены ниже.

Part
Верстак Part предоставляет базовые инструменты для работы с твердотельными частями: примитивами, такими как куб или сфера, и простыми геометрическими и булевыми операциями. Будучи основной точкой привязки к OpenCasCade, верстак Part обеспечивает основу геометрической системы FreeCAD, и почти все другие верстаки производят геометрию, базируемую на Part.

Draft
Верстак Draft обеспечивает инструменты для базовых задач двумерных САПР: линии, окружности и так далее, и серия общеупотребительных инструментов вроде перемещения, вращения или масштабирования. Он так же обеспечивает несколько вспомогательных инструментов, вроде сетки и привязки. Это принципиально означает рисовать направляющие для архитектурных объектов, но так же служит "швейцарским ножом" для FreeCAD.

Sketcher
The Sketcher Workbench contains tools to build and edit complex 2D objects, called sketches. The geometry inside these sketches can be precisely positioned and relationed by the use of constraints. They are meant primarily to be the building blocks of PartDesign geometry, but are useful everywhere in FreeCAD.

Part Design
The Part Design Workbench contains advanced tools to build solid parts. It also contains all the tools from the sketcher. Since it can only produces solid shapes (the rule number one of Part Design), it is the main workbench to use when designing pieces (parts) to be manufactured or 3D-printed, as you will always obtain a printable object.

Arch
The Arch Workbench contains tools to work with BIM projects (civil engineering and architecture). It also contains all the tools from the Draft workbench. The main use of the Arch Workbench is to create BIM objects or give BIM attributes to objects built with other workbenches, in order to export them to IFC.

Drawing
The Drawing Workbench handles the creation and manipulation of 2D drawing sheets, used for displaying views of your 3D work in 2D. These sheets can then be exported to 2D applications in SVG or DXF formats, to a PDF file or printed.

Other built-in workbenches
Although the above summarizes the most important tools of FreeCAD, many more workbenches are available, among them:


 * The Mesh Workbench allows to work with polygon meshes. Although meshes are not the preferred type of geometry to work with in FreeCAD, because of their lack of precision and support for curves, meshes still have a lot of uses, and are fully supported in FreeCAD. The Mesh Workbench also offers a number of Part-to-Mesh and Mesh-to-Part tools.
 * The Raytracing Workbench offers tools to interface with external renderers such as povray or luxrender. Right from inside FreeCAD, this workbench allows you to produce high-quality renderings from your models.
 * The Spreadsheet Workbench permits the creation and manipulation of spreadsheet data, that can be extracted from FreeCAD models. Spreadsheet cells can also be referenced in many areas of FreeCAD, allowing to use them as master data structures.
 * The FEM Workbench deals with Finite Elements Analysis, and permits the performing of pre- and post-processing FEM calculations and to display the results graphically.

External workbenches
A number of other very useful workbenches produced by FreeCAD community members also exist. Although they are not included in a standard FreeCAD installation,they are easy to install as plug-ins. They are all referenced in the FreeCAD-addons repository. Among the most developed are:


 * The Drawing Dimensioning Workbench offers many new tools to work directly on Drawing Sheets and allow you to add dimensions, annotations and other technical symbols with great control over their aspect.
 * The Fasteners Workbench offers a wide range of ready-to-insert fasteners objects like screws, bolts, rods, washers and nuts. Many options and settings are available.
 * The Assembly2 Workbench offers a series of tools to mount and work with assemblies.
