The attributes of the view usually need to be modified so that it is displayed correctly in the drawing page. In particular, the position is controlled by {{incode|X}} and {{incode|Y}}, which are given in millimeters, and {{incode|Scale}} is important to correctly fit the projected shape in the page. The scale usually ranges from 1 to 0.25 (1:1 to 1:4) for small solids, and from 0.02 to 0.01 (1:50 to 1:100) for typical architectural elements. |

THIS COMMAND IS OBSOLETE
It works with the Drawing Workbench which was deprecated in FreeCAD version 0.17 when the TechDraw Workbench was introduced. Use that workbench and the TechDraw DraftView command instead.

Description
The Drawing tool allows you to put selected objects on a drawing sheet created with the Drawing Workbench. If no sheet exists in the document, a default one will be created.
This tool works similarly to the Drawing View tool but is optimized for Draft Workbench objects, and can render 2D objects with a face filling. It can handle specific objects such as Draft Dimension and Draft Text, that the Drawing View tool cannot handle.
Draft object and dimensions imported into a Drawing page
Usage
- Select the objects that you wish to put on a drawing sheet.
- In the same selection, add the Drawing Workbench page object in which you want to draw the projection of the objects.
- Press the Draft Drawing button.
Notes
- The tool will work best with 2D objects from the Draft Workbench or Sketcher Workbench.
- The selected object can also be an Arch SectionPlane, which will show the elements viewed by that plane.
- If there is no existing page, a new one will be created.
- If no page was selected but there is at least one in the document, the first page found will be used to put the projections.
- If you select a sheet and the objects already projected on that sheet, the projections will be updated.
