==Bug in version 0.19==

In FreeCAD version 0.19 this command and the [[Draft_ToggleConstructionMode|Draft ToggleConstructionMode]] command will typically use different groups. To avoid this change the {{MenuCommand|Construction group name}} in the preferences to {{Value|Draft_Construction}}: {{MenuCommand|Edit → Preferences... → Draft → General settings → Construction Geometry → Construction group name}}. In version 0.20 the {{MenuCommand|Construction group name}} is used for the label of the construction group, the name of the group is always {{Value|Draft_Construction}}.

Description

This tool adds the selected objects to the Draft Construction group.

It's also possible to add objects using Draft AddToGroup to a Std Group.

Bug in version 0.19

In FreeCAD version 0.19 this command and the Draft ToggleConstructionMode command will typically use different groups. To avoid this change the Construction group name in the preferences to Draft_Construction: Edit → Preferences... → Draft → General settings → Construction Geometry → Construction group name. In version 0.20 the Construction group name is used for the label of the construction group, the name of the group is always Draft_Construction.

Usage

  1. Select the objects that you wish to move to the Construction group.
  2. Go to the menu Utilities → Add to Construction group.
