And if anybody want's to use the templates in current FreeCAD and don't want to "resize/convert" exported drawing to mm in Inkscape just manually open SVG file in text editor and change 2 lines as shoogen pointed out:

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4182&start=20#p32863

Example for A4 template:

Find lines:

Code: Select all

   width="210"
   height="297"
Change to:

Code: Select all

   width="210mm"
   height="297mm"
   viewBox="0 0 210 297"

How do we create editable text that is vertical or is this a limitation? I can create editable text but as soon as I try and rotate the text to be vertical it all breaks inside of freecad.

I can lend my template if someone would like to look at it
