Drafting the profile

 * 1) Select the [[Image:Draft_Wire.svg|32px]] DWire (multiple-point DraftWire) tool.
 * 2) Check the "Relative" and "Filled" boxes.
 * 3) Rather than drawing the shape in the 3D view, we'll enter coordinates in the Global X, Global Y and Global Z input fields. The process is the following:
 * 4) Click in the Global X input field;
 * 5) Enter a value as listed in the bullet list below and press  to go to the Global Y input field;
 * 6) Enter the Global Y value and press  to go to the Global Z input field;
 * 7) In the Global Z field, leave the zero value and press  to validate the coordinates for the point;
 * 8) Repeat for the next 5 points.
 * 9) * Coordinates (X, Y, Z)
 * 10) * 1st point: 0, 0, 0
 * 11) * 2nd point: 50, 0, 0
 * 12) * 3rd point: 0,10, 0
 * 13) * 4th point: -40, 0, 0 Note: in FreeCAD 0.16, there is a bug that removes the previous point when entering the minus sign in the input field. A workaround is to enter a positive value, then place the cursor before the number and add the minus sign. (This bug is resolved in v0.17)
 * 14) * 5th point: 0, 40, 0
 * 15) * 6th point: -10, 0, 0
 * 16) Press the  button to close the profile. You should now have this profile, titled DWire in the Model tab:
