Draft Coordinates/sv

I alla skissverktyg, när du ombes efter 3d punktspositioner, avstånd, radier, vinklar eller någon annan numerisk data, så kan du alltid välja att mata in dessa värden grafiskt, genom att markera på skärmen med din mus, eller direkt genom att mata in siffror med tangentbordet. Den första metoden är vanligtvis mer intuitiv, men när du arbetar med absolut precision, så behöver du ofta mata in ett exakt nummer för att få rätt koordinat. Av den anledningen så kan Skissmodulens kommandolåda alltid acceptera numerisk inmatning:



The Draft command bar is an "intelligent" toolbar, which means its contents change according to the tool being used and the input required from the user. When you draw a circle, for example, the command bar will successively ask you for the circle center, then the radius. Those two values can both be indicated by picking a point on the screen or by entering numbers.

Whenever you see the number input fields appearing on the command bar, you can enter numbers in them You will see that those numbers also reflect the movements of your mouse cursor. You can through the X,Y and Z fields to set the coordinates. Pressing in the Z field will record the point. Repeating the entry of new X, Y and Z coordinates will set the second point for a line and/or subsequent points for a wire.

The following shortcuts can also be used:
 * to swap between absolute and relative coordinates
 * to swap between original mode and copy mode
 * to lock/unlock the Z coordinate
 * or switches to the next field (for ex. from X to Y or from Y to Z)

Sometimes, it can be hard to align objects when working in 3D space. You can lock the Z coordinate, so you'll be certain that everything you draw will lie in the same horizontal plane. When you open FreeCAD, the Z coordinate is locked by default at 0.00, but you can easily change it, just unlock, change the Z value, and lock again. If Z coordinate is locked, you won't be able to draw in non-horizontal planes.

Most of the Draft commands now work in 3D, just unlock the Z coordinate and switch the view to the appropriate angle, and what you'll draw next will be aligned to that view.

Impose a decimal

By default, FreeCAD works with two decimal places, to change the number of decimal places, you must:
 * add a new integer element Decimals in the menu Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Units
 * make right click in the window and select New integer item → create name Decimals  and enter the number of decimal places you want.
 * then click, to validate your change.
 * close and return to FreeCAD to activate your changes.
