if you see fit I can translate the "workflow" and post it in the TechDraW Forum.
You should add this too to the wiki. It would be a perfect companion for the existing PartDesign tutorial, in which the model is created!
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

I totally agree about addinging this to the wiki. It will be easier to represent and read as a bonus!

Thanks for this post documenting many workarounds for missing features needed in FreeCAD TechDraw! It is unfortunate, that many of them require a lot of manual effort, and adding such automated features to TechDraw would need a considerable coding effort. But, at least, we now know where we should aim when adding features to TD! :D

Good morning to the Community!
Thanks to "@maker" for putting the reference on the wiki (we are a big community);
I thank "@aapo" for the words expressed, doing these things for the good of FreeCad "is a duty of the whole Community" (at least to repay him for his gratuity) and then it is also a moral and ethical duty, for all humanity , disseminate and make our experiences and knowledge free! (don't cover them with useless and harmful patents) Think if mathematicians (to name one) would not have made their work free and public ..... where would the world be?
I thank @Kunda1e @chrisb for their work and timely appreciation.
I ask aapo and all developers, referring to what chrisb exhorted, can Sketcher points be made visible in TechDraw?
We hope for a quick return "wandererfan".

Hi everyone,
Excellent work @domad, congratulations.
I prepared a simple tutorial about this topic.
I hope it will be useful.

Hello,

great tutorial.
But with Assemblys in AS4 this is not working.
Is this working method with AS2plus possible?
Or musst i export the assembly as stp and re import it to make assembly drawings? :shock:

thanks

Edit: i mean sectional views

I once again revisit this and look at @Yorik's earlier blog last Sept about using Model-Draft Shape2DView :)

Seems concept is similar when you are working on architectural model right ? Thanks.

Great works !
