* Select objects you want to put on the drawing sheet.

* Select the existing sheet name to send objects to. If there is no existing sheet, or you select 'Add New', a new sheet will be created. You can edit the 'Add New' entry to give a name to your new sheet.

* Set the scale. Drawing sheets are always in millimeters, so for example if you work in meters, setting a scale of 10 will mean: 1:100
The [[Image:Draft_Drawing.svg|24px]] '''Draft Drawing''' command inserts views of selected objects into a [[Drawing_Workbench|drawing]] page.
* Set the margin value. That is the distance between the page border and the (0,0) point.

* Set/adjust the Linewidth modifier. Lower value will result in thicker lines.

This command is similar to the [[Drawing_View|Drawing View]] command but is optimized for [[Draft_Workbench|Draft]] objects. Contrary to that command, it can handle specific objects such as [[Draft_Dimension|Draft Dimensions]] and [[Draft_Text|Draft Texts]], and it can render faces.
* If you selected an existing sheet, and the objects in the selection are already on that sheet (for ex. for a "Rectange" object there is already a "ViewRectangle" object on the sheet), they will be substitued. This allows you to simply select all the objects and send them to an existing page, which will simply be updated.

Description

The Draft Drawing command inserts views of selected objects into a drawing page.

This command is similar to the Drawing View command but is optimized for Draft objects. Contrary to that command, it can handle specific objects such as Draft Dimensions and Draft Texts, and it can render faces.

This command is now obsolete. Use the TechDraw Workbench and the TechDraw DraftView command instead.

On the left the selected Draft objects. On the right the created drawing views.

Usage

  1. To use this command in FreeCAD version 0.19 and later you need to add a button to a custom toolbar. See Interface Customization.
  2. Select one or more objects. A separate view will be created for each object.
  3. Optionally add a Drawing page to the selection. If you do not, the view is inserted into the first page in the document. If there are no pages in the document a new page is created first.
  4. Press the Draft Drawing button.
  5. There is a bug in the FreeCAD version 0.19 version of the command. The initial value of the DataDirection property is [0, 0, 0] which is not allowed. For objects on a plane parallel to the XY plane of the global coordinate system it should be changed to [0, 0, 1]. After changing this property the page and the view may need to be recomputed.
