Image Module/pt-br

The image module manages different types of bitmap images, and lets you open them in FreeCAD. Currently, the modules lets you open .bmp, .jpg, .png and .xpm file formats in a separate viewer window.

The image workbenches also allow to import an image on a plane in the 3D-space of FreeCAD. This function is available via the second button of the image workbench. .

This function is only available if you have opened a FreeCAD document.

The image can be moved in 3D-space by editing the placement in the Property editor. The major use is tracing over the image, in order to generate a new part at using the image as template.

The image can be scaled by editing the "XSize" and "YSize" values in the Property editor.

Tip:

Tracing with sketcher elements over an image works best if the image has a small (negative) offset to the sketch plane.

You can set an offset of -0,1 at import or later by editing the placement of the image.
