Introduction
This is the documentation wiki of FreeCAD. You have two main ways to browse through the documentation: by exploring user hubs, or by following the manual. It is a work in progress, written by the community of users and developers of FreeCAD. If you find information that is wrong or missing, please help!

Tópicos de usuários
Para usuários: Esta página contém documentação útil para usuários do FreeCAD em geral: Uma lista de bancadas, instruções detalhadas para instalar e usar o FreeCAD, tutoriais, e tudo que você precisa para começar.

Para usuários avançados: Esta página junta a documentação para usuários avançados e pessoas interessadas em escrever scripts em python. Você achará ali também uma coleção de macros, instruções para instalar e usá-las, e mais informação sobre como customizar o FreeCAD.

Para desenvolvedores: Esta seção contém materiais para programadores: Como compilar o FreeCAD você mesmo, como o código fonte é estruturado e como se achar nele, como desenvolver novas bancadas e inserir o FreeCAD dentro da sua aplicação.

Manual
The FreeCAD manual is another, more linear way to present the information contained in this wiki. It is made to be read like a book, and will gently introduce you to many other pages from the hubs above. ebook versions are also available, as well as a couple of translations in pdf format.

Table of contents
The following table lists all the articles of this wiki that form the backbone of the offline documentation shipped with the FreeCAD application. It is already available in several languages:

Como participar
There is plenty to do inside the FreeCAD project, if you are interested in helping us. Of course, there are programming tasks for C++ or Python programmers, but there are also many things you can do even if you cannot code, such as
 * writing documentation and Editing the wiki
 * helping newcomers
 * translating the application and documentation
 * helping with the packaging of the latest release of FreeCAD for your favourite operating system
 * helping other people around you to discover FreeCAD.

The help FreeCAD page describes it all with more details. Starting from 2016, FreeCAD is also participating to the Google Summer of Code. The Contributors hub page is another effort to gather the possible ways to help and contribute to the FreeCAD project.

Código fonte
FreeCAD can be compiled on all platforms using cMake. The source code is LGPL-licensed and hosted on GitHub. There are build instructions for Windows, Unix/Linux and MacOSX. The source code documentation is hosted here, generated by Doxygen, and documented on the wiki.

Sobre o desenvolvimento
Check the Development roadmap for news about what is being planned, the Changelog and Roadmap pages on the FreeCAD tracker to see the progress towards next release, or the Project statistics for even more information about the FreeCAD codebase. All the development communication happens on the forum, so be sure to visit it if you are interested in participating.
