Re: Cant add dimensions to my drawing
As you already created dimensions in Draft WB you can use Draft Drawing tool to add them to Drawing Page: http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Draft_Drawing But as said the most straightforward and convenient solution currently is: https://github.com/hamish2014/FreeCAD_drawing_dimensionin...

Being this is my first post, I want to say Free CAD has an easier to understand interface at first glance as opposed to AutoCAD.
My question is; has there been any thought on putting weld symbols in Free CAD?
