Drawing Dimensioning Addon/it

Introduzione
Il modulo Drawing dimensioning aggiunge potenti strumenti per la quotatura e le annotazioni all'ambiente Disegno (vedere forum thread).



Drawing dimensioning workbench for FreeCAD v0.15 or later. Take note that this workbench is experimental and still contains bugs.

Intended work-flow:

 * create a drawing page and a drawing of the part using the drawing workbench
 * switch to the drawing dimensioning workbench to add dimensions to that drawing

Features:

 * linear dimensioning
 * circular and radial dimensioning
 * angular dimension
 * center lines
 * adding, editing and moving dimension text
 * deleting dimensions
 * Draw a dimension or a symbol anywhere on the drawing with "Add grab point"

Limitations:

 * No parametric updating, if the drawing is updated the dimensions need to be redone
 * only works with FreeCAD version 0.15+

Automatic installation

Prerequisites
.........

Linux Installation Instructions (From GitHub)
To use this workbench clone this git repository under your FreeCAD MyScripts directory, and install the pyside and numpy python libraries. On a Linux Debian based system such as Ubuntu, installation can be done through BASH as follows $ sudo apt-get install git python-numpy python-pyside $ mkdir ~/.FreeCAD/Mod $ cd ~/.FreeCAD/Mod $ git clone https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_drawing_dimensioning.git

Once installed, use git to easily update to the latest version: $ cd ~/.FreeCAD/Mod/FreeCAD_drawing_dimensioning $ git pull $ rm *.pyc

Windows Installation Instructions (From GitHub)
Tested with 015.4415 Development Snapshot on a Windows 7 64bit-System (thanks BPLRFE )


 * download the git repository as ZIP
 * assuming FreeCAD is installed in "C:\PortableApps\FreeCAD 0_15", go to "C:\PortableApps\FreeCAD 0_15\Mod" within Windows Explorer
 * create new directory named "DrawingDimensioning"
 * unzip downloaded repository in "C:\PortableApps\FreeCAD 0_15\Mod\DrawingDimensioning"

FreeCAD will now have a new workbench-entry called "DrawingDimensioning".

Pyside and Numpy are integrated in the FreeCAD dev-Snapshots 0.15, so these Python packages do not need to be installed individually.

To update to the latest version, delete the DrawingDimensioning folder and redownload the git repository.

Mac Installation Instructions (From GitHub)
Copy or unzip the drawing dimensioning folder to the directory FreeCAD.app/Contents/Mod

where FreeCAD.app is the folder where FreeCAD is installed. (thanks PLChris)

Setting your dimensioning preferences
Unit preferences are taken from the General unit preferences (excluding number of decimal places!). To set unit preferences goto edit → preferences → general → units

To set up your desired dimensioning style
 * 1)    open FreeCAD
 * 2)    switch to the Drawing dimensioning workbench
 * 3)   edit → preferences → drawing dimensioning

Symbols



Linear dimensions
Linear dimensions / Linear dimension stack

Upon clicking on linear dimensions or linear dimension stack you will get a menu with different choices. repeat: If checked the menu won't close after defining one dimension Grid Options: allow you to snap the dimensions to a grid

grid on will toggle the visibility of the grid

spacing: will define the spacing of the main grid (default: 1 mm)

display period: will define how often the lines are displayed (default: 20)

color: line color of the grid lines

line width: line width of the grid lines (default: 0,15) Unit Options: will define the units of the dimensions

Edit → Preferences → Unit: use same units as defined in FreeCAD preferences

mm: force units to be in mm

inch: force units to be in inch

m: force units to be in m

custom: use custum scaling of units (default: 1/mm) Preferences: define preferences of the dimension appearence

compact:

format mask: changes the format of the dimension (default "%(value)3.3f"). Overwrite with manual text possible

arrows: changes arrow style (auto/in/out/off)

auto place text: place dimension text manually

comma: use comma instead of point

gap: (default: 2)

overshoot: (default: 1)

arrowL1: first Length of arrow (default: 3)

arrowL2: second length of arrow (default: 1)

arrowW: width of arrow (default: 2)

strokeWidth: change line with of dimension lines (default: 0,3)

lineColor: change color of dimension lines

text properties: choose font name, font size and color (default: Verdana, 3.6, red)

auto place offset:

Set as default: Accept settings as default

Tipps:


 * changing the placement of the dimensions afterwards can be done by selecting the dimension in the tree view, and changing the values in the section "Placement Clicks" in the data tab


 * changing the dimension to a half linear dimension ca be done by selecting the dimension in the tree view and setting the value for "half Dimension_linear" to true. The dimension will be using the half towrds the second click point
