Drawing Module

The Drawing module is made to allow you to put your 3D work on paper. That is, to put views of your models in a 2D window, and to insert that window in a drawing, for example a sheet, with a border, a title and your logo, and finally to print that sheet. The Drawing module is currently under construction and more or less a tecnology prieview!



In the picture you see the main concepts of the Drawing module. The document contains a Shape object (Schenkel) which we whant to extract to a drawing. There for a "Page" was created. A page gets instanciated throug a template. In this case A3_Landscape. The Template is a SVG document which holds frames, logos and complies to some kind of standard.

In this page we can insert one or more views. Each View has a position on the page (Properties X,Y), a scale factor (Propertie scale) and additional properies. Every time the Page or the View or the referenced object change, the Page get regenerated and the Page Display updated.

Scripting
At the moment the end user workflows are very limited. So maybe the scripting is more interesting.
