Very easy. A blank sheet will do. :lol:

Seriously, try your post again, and this time use the "Preview" button to make sure you are posting what you intend.

Please move this post to a properiate section. It feels it should not be in this area.

Back to my question, I found this info in its doc:

FreeCAD is no 2D application. It is made for 3D. There is a reasonable set of tools for drawing and editing 2D objects with the Draft Workbench and Sketcher Workbench, but it is not made for handling very large (and sometimes badly drawn) 2D CAD files. You can usually successfully import 2D files, but don't expect very high performance if you want to keep working on them in 2D. You have been warned.
