Here's two screenshots, showing the original in FreeCAD TechDraw (top one at 15-05-19) and how it looked after opening the Technical Drawing .SVG file in Inkscape (bottom one at 15-04-53).

I'm also having this problem with my set-up (see below). The printed lines are light grey and thin. When exporting to PDF (both File->Export PDF and selecting the File->Print Print to File (PDF)) lines remain the same: thin and light grey. I also tried exporting to SVG. I tried File->Export... flatt...

Hello, all, I'm trying to determine if FreeCAD is an appropriate (good? the best?) tool for 3D modeling large objects. My task is to model pieces of amateur (ham) radio equipment to determine a good arrangement of them on shelves at an operating station position. For instance, I have 12 pieces of eq...

@wandererFan, thanks. Okay, that's not a problem. Wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something obvious.

I hope this is a easy question for someone with more experience. I have a TechDraw'ing with an annotation created before the view. Now, when I try to move the annotation to its correct position next to one of the lines in the view (a Sheet Metal bend line), it disappears behind the view. How can I m...

@GeneFC, @ThanklessLiving, @PraGA, @chrisB and @NewJoker, Thank you all for your replies and suggestions. It seems like the process of prototyping a sheet metal part is significantly different than protorypting a PC board. For PC boards, mostly, the only economical way to get a prototype is to produ...

Hello, all, I'd like to have manufactured a prototype of the sheet metal bracket for the Yaesu FTM-400 radio that I designed in the attached drawing. I've never had sheet metal prototypes produced before, only some printed circuit boards, and have some beginner questions: Are there facilities that p...

@PraGa, thanks for the reply. I didn't think of slice, but I'll consider it. -Kevin

Hi, @GeneFC, thanks for responding. Yeah, no joy. The Print dialog has no options for tiling large prints. It's very minimal on my system, Linux Ubuntu 18. One possible solution is to export the TechDraw sheet as an .sgv file, and then slice it up in something like Inkscape. I was hoping for somethi...

Hello, I have an object that I'd like to print at full-scale, but it's too large to print on US Letter paper, the largest I can print on. I can create it on A3 paper, then create four Clip Groups that each contain a little more than a quarter of the object. How can I put each of these Clip Groups on...
