THIS COMMAND IS OBSOLETE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 Draft Drawing command inserts views of selected objects into a drawing page.

This command is similar to the Drawing View command but is optimized for Draft objects. Contrary to the Drawing View command, it can handle specific objects such as Draft Dimensions and Draft Texts, and it can render faces.

Usage

  1. Select the objects that you wish to put on a drawing sheet.
  2. In the same selection, add the Drawing Workbench page object in which you want to draw the projection of the objects.
  3. 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.
