Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Yes that would be great, even with a separated workbench. I'm not so good at compiling Freecad (far too complicated for my computer skills :S) and that cross section view is exactly what I need... or is it possible to download the already compiled Module (like for the drawing dimensioning workbench)?
Thank you very much!

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Regrettably, no. TechDraw is a C++ module and need to be built-in, while drawing dimensioning is a Python add-on module and can be added after the fact.SebLiss wrote:or is it possible to download the already compiled Module (like for the drawing dimensioning workbench)?

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Okay, I suppose this allow to use more powerful functionalities than just python scripting. I will try again to compile it with :
http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.ph ... ith_VS2013
That way sound easier than with minGW

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Great! I succeeded to compile the Freecad techdraw module I found on :
https://github.com/WandererFan/FreeCAD-TechDraw
Not so easy but the tutorial for Freecad compilation was well explained. Had a little problem with boost_regex-vc120-mt-1_55.dll, but after copying the Libpack/bin to BUILD/bin, it started.
My problem is : where is the technical drawing module now? I can't see any difference in module list, and can't find some dimensioning neither. Is there something to do to activate it?

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Did you checkout the TechDraw branch? if you just cloned the repository with git you build the master branch, wich does not contain the new workbench. Than you should do:
and recompile. This should give you the workbench. If you use annother method than git you should elaborate a bit more, without that information it is hard to provide detailled help.
Code: Select all
git checkout TechDraw
Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Ok thanks I will do it;
EDIT : works well, thank you very much!!
(For the report, crashes when trying to add a section, but the workbench is in development, sounds normal)

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
You can report issues with TechDraw here: https://github.com/WandererFan/FreeCAD-TechDraw/issues. Are you able to post the fcstd file that crashed and give step by step on how to reproduce?SebLiss wrote:(For the report, crashes when trying to add a section, but the workbench is in development, sounds normal)

Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
No problem, I'll do it tomorrow.
Re: Creating a cross section view in Drawing
Ok it's done :
https://github.com/WandererFan/FreeCAD- ... /issues/53
Thanks for the development, I really like FreeCad v0.16 and found it perfect for designing prototypes at my work! (electronic engineering, only need to design boxes for PCBs).
