Hi,

Hello,
did you already watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztMTLp4wZx4 ? That shows what is generally possible with the Drawing Dimensioning Workbench.
You should take notice, that this workbench is not part of proprietiy FreeCAD but made by hamish to download and install yourself.

Kind regards,

Hello.

You can do sectional drawings (and colour or hatch the inner surfaces with usage of facebinder).
I have made a (german voiced) Tutorial on that.

Thanks for fast response ;)

@r-frank yes this is some kind of solution - but unfortunatelly very time consuming :(
@r.tec, I know that "drawing dimensioning" is addon, but still no option I've asked. All hope in hamish. Is there any way to request him those options?

Do you know, will be more functionality in freecad 0.16 for 2d drawings?
