FreeCAD est principalement un outil de modélisation 3D. Cependant, il y a des moments où nous devons produire des dessins 2D pour la documentation, les contrats, les permis, etc. L'atelier TechDraw est utilisé pour produire des dessins techniques de base qui s'appuient sur le modèle 3D. Chaque dessin est une page qui contient plusieurs vues d'objets 3D individuels. Les dimensions et les zones hachurées peuvent être ajoutées aux vues.

Note if your primary goal is the production of complex 2D drawings, you may wish to consider a dedicated tool such as LibreCad, QCad, TurboCad, etc.


Template:TechDraw Tools

Preference settings

The TechDraw module has a preferences screen to adjust default values.

Scripting

The TechDraw module features a Python API so you can use its functions in scripts and macros.

Limitations

  • TechDraw is very much still in development. You should expect bugs!
  • If you want to know what's going on in TechDraw development, look at the Roadmap
  • TechDraw drawings and Python API are not interchangeable with the Drawing module. It is possible to convert Drawing Pages to TechDraw Pages using Python (moveViews.py). It is possible to have both TechDraw and Drawing Pages in the same FreeCAD document.
  • There are minor differences in specifying Editable Texts in Templates compared to the Drawing module.
  • TechDraw has not yet been extensively tested with the new PartDesign Body construct. To insert a view of an object created by PartDesignNext, you must select the Body in the tree, not the Part.
  • TechDraw is available starting with FreeCAD 0.17.

Workarounds

  • None required at the moment.
