Re: The Big TechDraw Comments Thread
Or i guess when deleted delete the whole view/projection group? I see @Jee-Bee was thinking in the same direction. And is only the front view tied to other views? If yes i would suggest not to show pop-up when deleting other views.
P.S. And why is the view/projection group called cView? What does the c stand for?

Honestly? No idea! It's called "cView" in @mrlukeparry's github from 2014. "CombinationView"? I'll give it a meaningful name next time I'm in that program.triplus wrote:P.S. And why is the view/projection group called cView? What does the c stand for?

Hi @wandererfan,
I have used lately the Techdraw section view and I think it would be a really nice feature that the new section inherits the same scale and projection type as its parent... I always have to change it manually.
Do you think it would improve the user experience?
Thank you

SectionView inheriting Scale from the BaseView is pretty easy as long as it is just for the initial setting. Keeping the 2 locked together would be harder.pablogil wrote:I have used lately the Techdraw section view and I think it would be a really nice feature that the new section inherits the same scale and projection type as its parent
SectionView doesn't have a ProjectionType (terrible name! too many "Types".) and if the BaseView was a regular DrawViewPart, what would you use for ProjectionType? Could generate something to go in Caption or Label - "based on TopFrontLeft of ProjGroup001"??

Cool, it would just be the initial setting, afterwards users may want to change it so there's no need to lock it.wandererfan wrote:SectionView inheriting Scale from the BaseView is pretty easy as long as it is just for the initial setting. Keeping the 2 locked together would be harder.
Sorry, I called it wrongly, I meant "scale type" which is also related with Scale, so that when creating a new Section View it gets both parameters inherited from the parent view...wandererfan wrote:SectionView doesn't have a ProjectionType (terrible name! too many "Types".) and if the BaseView was a regular DrawViewPart, what would you use for ProjectionType?

a) haven't come across that one before, thanks for pointing it out. Interesting problem. Dimension applies to something inside the detail, but is positioned itself outside the detail (dimension uses the dimension text as the positioning marker).jaisejames wrote:Detail view dimensions line some portion is not visible as seen the attachment.

b) not done yet. on the list.

First of all everything best in a new year!

PS. What about hatching will that be generated by FreeCAD or from svg file? If so, I could prepare some hatching styles...

Plans for next release:
- high resolution Drawings
---- higher quality DrawViewImage
---- bitmap (png/jpeg) "hatching"
---- scalable hatches
- arrowhead styles
- SVG export page size fix
- DPG & DVS bug fixes
As far as hatching goes, for the near future, we'll be limited to SVG & bitmap. But there is a need for "technical hatching" using specific line-weights and styles to make standards conforming drawings. Maybe something like AutoCad PAT files.
