TechDraw Templates/en

Overview
Every TechDraw Page is based on a Template. The Template controls paper size and contains all the "pre-printed" text and graphics of the page. The Template can also contain editable text fields for attributes like "Title", "Author", "Scale".

Templates are Svg files and are created and modified outside of FreeCAD.

Properties

 * : Portrait or Landscape.
 * : Paper width in mm.
 * : Paper height in mm.
 * : A copy of the original Template file including all changes to editable texts.   This allows users who may not have a copy of the Template file to see the Page as intended. Not typically useful for end users.
 * : a) A pointer to the copy of the original Template file which is incorporated into this *.FCSTD file, or b) a filepath to a template accessible on the current machine. Use the file selection ellipsis (...) to change to a different template.

Custom Templates
A limited number of pre-formatted Templates in various page sizes are included with FreeCAD. Custom Templates can also be created and specified as a default in Preferences.
