Good evening to the Community!

Here are the new tools that have been added to the new version (V-0.4.4) of "TechDrawTools-multilanguage"
- Creation of oblique dimensions in series and parallel coordinates;
- Alignment of dimensions in oblique series;
- Spacing of parallel oblique coordinate dimensions;
- Creates an area annotation formed by a closed polyline, we inform you that this function represents a first draft of the tool, therefore it can be subject to calculation errors and inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the non-functioning in the presence of curves is highlighted, therefore it is recommended to pay the utmost attention and check the result obtained.
The attached * .gifs show how the new tools work.
As already mentioned by @edi, a first attempt is being made to integrate some tools directly into the TechDraw interface.
A greeting

Good evening to the Community!
……..Example of symbolic drawing of a metric thread M20x2,5 - UNI 4535-64, whose useful length is 33,75 mm complete with symbolic drawing of the 60 ° terminal.
The detail of the 60 ° terminal in a standard representation could be omitted.
The symbolism, as shown by the attached * .gif, is completely generated in TechDraw with the help of TechDrawTools.

Is there the possibility of creating a workflow to obtain the same thread with the same methods and dimensions (all construction on TechDraw without any reference based on Draft and / or Sketcher) if the pin is positioned obliquely (with any inclination)?

Good morning to the Community!
.... it is really surprising that no one has replied, so I ask the question again in the certainty that someone can give an answer.

Could you share a "manual" example? Maybe a seperate thread would be a good idea.

Hello M4x, good morning to the Community!
I apologize for the delay in replying.
Thank you for the advice (I reflected), I think it is more useful to stay in this topic to extend the examples on the functions of the TechDrawTools.

From my understanding you don't have a solution to share here. Therefore I'd still suggest a seperate thread ;)

This is very useful for architecture technical drawings. I tried and works fine. Can I make some suggestions?
1)Can you do something to create cosmetics axes drawings like Arch Axis?
https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Arch_Axis
Maybe you could do something to insert easily a balloon with a number on top of a endline.
2) can you create a cosmetic >, <, V, X on and area? this symbols are used to represent openings orientations and the X is used for empty areas with no slab or floor (gaps, shafts, etc.). X is also used to represent timber sections.
3) Also annotations need more improvement but I don't want to ask too much. :)

Great work!
