Ambiente de trabajo Borrador
El entorno de Boceto permite dibujar rápidamente objetos 2D simples en el documento actual, y ofrecer diversas herramientas para poderlas modificar después. Algunas de dichas herramientas también funcionan sobre otros objetos de FreeCAD, no sólo en los creados con el entorno de Boceto. También proporciona un completo sistema de ajuste, y varias utilidades para manejar objetos y configuraciones.
Drawing objects
These are tools for creating objects.
- Line: Draws a line segment between 2 points
- Wire: Draws a line made of multiple line segments (polyline)
- Circle: Draws a circle from center and radius
- Arc: Draws an arc segment from center, radius, start angle and end angle
- Ellipse: Draws an ellipse from two corner points
- Polygon: Draws a regular polygon from a center and a radius
- Rectangle: Draws a rectangle from 2 opposite points
- Text: Draws a multi-line text annotation
- Dimension: Draws a dimension annotation
- BSpline: Draws a B-Spline from a series of points
- Point: Inserts a point object
- ShapeString: The ShapeString tool inserts a compound shape representing a text string at a given point in the current document
- Facebinder: Creates a new object from selected faces on existing objects
- Bezier Curve: Draws a Bezier curve from a series of points
- Label: Places a label with an arrow pointing to a selected element introduced in version 0.17
Modifying objects
These are tools for modifying existing objects. They work on selected objects, but if no object is selected, you will be invited to select one.
- Move: Moves object(s) from one location to another
- Rotate: Rotates object(s) from a start angle to an end angle
- Offset: Moves segments of an object about a certain distance
- Trim/Extend (Trimex): Trims or extends an object
- Upgrade: Joins objects into a higher-level object
- Downgrade: Explodes objects into lower-level objects
- Scale: Scales selected object(s) around a base point
- Drawing: Writes selected objects to a Drawing sheet
- Edit: Edits a selected object
- Wire to BSpline: Converts a wire to a BSpline and vice-versa
- Add point: Adds a point to a wire or BSpline
- Delete point: Deletes a point from a wire or BSpline
- Shape 2D View: Creates a 2D object which is a flattened 2D view of another 3D object
- Draft to Sketch: Converts a Draft object to Sketch and vice-versa
- Array: Creates a polar or rectangular array from selected objects
- Path Array: Creates an array of objects by placing the copies along a path
- Clone: Clones the selected objects
- Mirror: Mirrors the selected objects
- Stretch: Stretches the selected objects introduced in version 0.17
Utility tools
Additional tools available via right-click context menu, depending on the selected objects.
- Set working plane: Sets a working plane from a standard view or a selected face
- Finish line: Ends the drawing of the current wire or bspline, without closing it
- Close line: Ends the drawing of the current wire or bspline, and closes it
- Undo line: Undoes the last segment of a line
- Toggle construction mode: Toggles the Draft construction mode on/off
- Toggle continue mode: Toggles the Draft continue mode on/off
- File:Draft ApplyStyle.png Apply style: Applies the current style and color to selected objects
- Toggle display mode: Switches the display mode of selected objects between "flat lines" and "wireframe"
- Add to group: Quickly adds selected objects to an existing group
- Select group contents: Selects the contents of a selected group
- File:Draft ToggleSnap.png Toggle snap: Toggles object snapping on/off
- File:Draft ToggleGrid.png Toggle grid: Toggles the grid on/off
- File:Draft ShowSnapBar.png Show snap bar: Shows/hides the snapping toolbar
- Heal: Heals problematic Draft objects found in very old files
- Flip Dimension: Flips the orientation of the text of a dimension
- File:Draft VisGroup.png VisGroup: Creates a VisGroup in the current document
- File:Draft Slope.png Slope: Changes the slope of selected Lines or Wires introduced in version 0.17
- AutoGroup: Automatically place new objects in a given group introduced in version 0.17
- File:Draft SetWorkingPlaneProxy.png Set Working Plane Proxy: Add a proxy object in the document to store a Working Plane position introduced in version 0.17
- Add to Construction group: Add selected objects to the Construction group introduced in version 0.17
