Drawing/it

Introduzione
In FreeCAD the word "Drawing" is normally used to refer to a 2D projection of a 3D model. This is usually created with the TechDraw Workbench.

Utilizzo

 * 1) Start with an already built 3D model, created with, for example, the PartDesign Workbench. In fact, any object that has a Shape, including 2D objects, will work.
 * 2) Switch to the TechDraw Workbench.
 * 3) Press  or  to create a Page.
 * 4) Select the existing model, and then press  or.
 * 5) A 2D projection on the page will be created. You may now adjust its properties, like, , and.
 * 6) When the drawing is ready, you can press, , or use Std Export, to export the page to SVG, DXF, or PDF formats for further use in another software, or for printing.

Note
In informal usage, a "Drawing" may be any geometrical figure that is visible in the 3D view, and thus its concept may be confused with that of "Body", "Part", or "model".

However, when more precision is required, the distinction must be made.
 * A "Body" (PartDesign Body) is an object derived from a Part Feature ( class), created with the PartDesign Workbench.
 * A "Part" (App Part) is used to group several "Bodies" to form an assembly.
 * A "Drawing" is a 2D projection of a "Body" or a "Part".
 * A "Drawing" may also be created with the Drawing Workbench. However, since this workbench became obsolete in 0.17, you should prefer TechDraw Workbench instead.
