Help/Tutorial on Creating a Custom Drawing Template in TechDraw

Post by eagle_eye_18 »

Hello, I just started using FreeCad for about a week now referencing a lot of YouTube tutorials (visual learner). I searched the forum for the subject material above with no results. I am looking for someone who is experienced with creating a custom drawing template with editable fields. I can already tell the basic tutorials on YouTube will not cut it. Hopefully if someone has some time to dedicate I would greatly appreciate a 1 on 1 tutor. I would be able to communicate on discord or smartphone googleduo app.

I did find these links upon my own research but they appear to be basic and was hoping to get a more in depth tutorial or ideally a tutor to guide me through this process so I can take notes.

The work for drawing template needs some time to handle. I think you have not experience for web design :D . Please found the w3cschool website, and read SVG manual. you need knowledge about SVG grammar. and you can design what you need.


http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/TechDraw_TemplateHowTo

This link is what I begun the template design. It is important for TechDraw Template design.

I am sorry I can't use Goolge App to help you online due to networking resource limited.

If you need, you can post your template file and append your requirement.

Best Regards

Felix
