techdraw with multiple parts
hi everyone i'm using freecad 0.17 and created a drawing with part and part design. When i wanted to make a drawing with techdraw, i coul only choose one part. but i need all the parts in my drawing. How is this achieved.
I also drew it in freecad 0.16 Revision 6706/6707 but i had the same results. where do i go wrong?

Select your parts, then use MultiView wfrobotMarvin wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 7:16 pm hi everyone i'm using freecad 0.17 and created a drawing with part and part design.

You can generate tubes/flanges/washers/srews much faster by using the flamingo/fasteners-wb.
The objects a fully parametric. Installation with tools==>addon manager (after install close/restart FC)
I am wondering why I can attach the screws at the flanges from flamingo, but
getting errors on your part.

Re: techdraw with multiple parts
Thanks everyone, for the fast reply, i tried multiview before, but i couldn't figure out how to use it. Now i tried harder, and knew it was the tool, and i figured out how to use it. I will also look into flamingo/fasteners
i also don't know, i will try tofind out later.I am wondering why I can attach the screws at the flanges from flamingo, but

Re: techdraw with multiple parts
flamingo works great !!
But is there a way to get more flanges, i only seem to find flanges asme-150lb and DIN-PN16. I need DIN-PN10 Maybe there is a way to download ??
Else i can always adjust the prorperties. Anyway, i m very happy with flamingo wb

Re: techdraw with multiple parts
Hi all
I managed to generate a view of multiple parts using the above mentioned multipart view button. But how can one select which views (side, top etc) and the scale of the view. Currently, I select all parts and then click on the multiple parts view button and it automatically gives me one view. I cannot select the view type and its scale either before or after the view has been generated. Please help.

Re: techdraw with multiple parts
Change the Direction and/or Scale properties in the PropertyEditor.
From TechDraw_NewView.
Code: Select all
Direction: A vector representing the viewing direction.
Scale: A view will be rendered on the page in Scale:1 ratio to the Source. (1)
ScaleType: "Document": use the Page's scale setting. "Custom": use a scale unique to this view. "Automatic": fit view to page. (1)
Front: (0,-1,0)
Top: (0,0,1)
Right: (1,0,0)
Axo: (1,1,1)
Re: techdraw with multiple parts
Thank You for the positive feedback.
To create your own dimensional table of flanges (or other piping object as well) you can follow the suggestion at page 3 of the tutorialPype.pdf (../Mod/flamingo/tutorials).robotMarvin wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:11 pm But is there a way to get more flanges, i only seem to find flanges asme-150lb and DIN-PN16.

* For instance, open the file ../Mod/flamingo/tables/Flange_DIN-PN16.csv with any spreadsheet program.
* Modify the dimensions in the table. You can also add or delete rows and change the name of size-names in the first column.
* Save it in the same folder as "Flange_myRating.csv". Remember to use ";" as separators.
Now, next time you run "Insert a flange", the "myRating" option will appear in the dialog with the customized flanges dimensions.
I guess that columns names are quite self-explaining.
Obviously, must care that dimensions are consistent: for example it should not be D<d!
Re: techdraw with multiple parts
Oddtopus,
I wouldn't put bolts in one at a time .. See FC Forum>showcase>"Pressure vessel with piping". It took a long time to make the first draft including the time to learn FC and python. The second time it took less than 20 hours. The attached script is how I set up the flanges and bolting. Unfortunately it is in US Customary units - let me know if you want to see more.
