TechDraw Templates

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.   Not typically useful for end users.
 * : A pointer to a copy of the original Template file which is incorporated into the *.FCSTD file. 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.

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