[MERGED] SVG Symbols For TechDraw

[thebighaggis]

Hi All

I've made some Symbols that I use in TechDraw and wish to Share them here.
They are currently set for A3 Paper but can be scaled to suit other sizes, these
Symbols can also be rotated, hopefully Someone will find some use for them.
Requests for Additional Symbols are Welcome and I'll add to the list as it Grows..
All Free to Use..
Cheers
Haggis
PS Just Added Cosmetic Break Symbols... a bit of a hack but at least it's a way to present a broken view

Some Newly Added Symbols..
1st Angle Projection
3rd Angle Projection
Datum Target Plain..[ with editable text ]
And Revision Triangle..[ with editable text ]
Obviously with the Projection Symbols it's better to edit your template file
but if you don't know how you can simply add to the bottom of your drawings..

Cheers

Hello, greetings to the community!
Good idea (!), here are some examples where they can be used avoiding building them every time.

Thanks Domad

Hi All
I've just added another SVG file to my Symbols Library That Can Be Used in TechDraw... SVG Can Be Used to Control Text Justification , The Standard Annotation Text Does Not Allow Centre Justification... I hope you find this useful.. Here's a link to all the Symbols I've done so far this one is called "Centre_Justified_Text_10_Lines.svg"

https://github.com/JohnHyslop/FreeCAD-S ... aw-Symbols

PS I just Added "Right_Justified_Text_10_Lines.svg" so that's all bases covered
PPS Oh font used is "tahoma" it's a licensed font but if you want to use a different type you'll need to edit the SVG file in a text editor and replace all with your font, don't mess around with the font size though as it will not scale properly and overlap
if you don't have "tahoma" installed it is substituted by another..

Hi All
Not sure if anyone is using these but I've just added a balloon with editable text for techdraw.. Use for numbering Items or whatever you like, or add a leader or one of my Arrows to it "the text is centre justified..
File added "Balloon_Editable_Text.svg"

Regarding numbering I recommend TechDraw_Balloon

[thebighaggis]

Thanks Mx4
I didn't know this existed
I'll leave the symbol in my library though
in case someone finds a use for it..
Cheers
Haggis
PS Update the balloon tool was hidden under another toolbar, how embarrassing

You're welcome
