Testing TechDraw

[wandererfan]

It can hold anything, not just PartDesign stuff.

So I could see this in the Tree?
App::Part
Part::Feature
Part::Feature
Part::FeaturePython
Sketcher::SketchObject
...

What would a drawing of App::Part look like? A composite of all the children that have a shape?

Got to spend some time with this.

I don't know, I think you are to decide. I think, derivatives of Part container may pop up in near future.

You can grab a project for playing with it here: viewtopic.php?t=15846#p125800 That's how I think it should be used (but it may end up being used differently).

Another thing I would like to see in TD is, the possibility to completely switch off the drawing-template.
I know that I can create a custom/empty .svg template but it would be nice to have this already on-board.

Another thing I would like to see in TD is, the possibility to completely switch off the drawing-template.

Click on the Template in the Model tree, and in the View tab, set the Visibility property to False.

But this setting is apparently not saved with the document.

I can confirm the value of 203,20mm in Inkscape 0.91.

P.S. And i get a lot of:

Code: Select all

AttributeError("'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getActiveObject'",)

When opening mod_with_drawing.fcstd file in FreeCAD dev.

Hi All,

Have been testing the techdraw workbench and using the new QT5 version on Mac, it's all working very nicely now! Thanks to all working on this!

But I am perhaps missing something simple with the dimensioning - I am getting different values in Techdraw compared to Draft (Draft is correct).

Draft dimension:

upstairs draft dimension.png (61.26 KiB) Viewed 2966 times

Techdraw:

upstairs techdraw dimension.png (111.81 KiB) Viewed 2966 times

Please see freecad file attached, and Freecad info below. Any ideas?

Cheers

Brutha

Hi Brutha.

Select the created dimension and after select the corresponding edge in the 3D View. Use dimension link command on the selection:

Thanks, that did the trick!

Thanks, that did the trick!

You're welcome.

I got missing dimension objects in the treeview at making a dimension between two selected corner points. The missing tree objects are kind of existing, because you get them sometimes at selecting other drawing objects in the tree.

See the example file.
