Description

The Draft AddConstruction command moves objects to the Draft construction group. It also applies the construction geometry color to the objects.

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.

Notes

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