The created 2D objects can be used for general drafting in a way similar to Inkscape or Autocad. These 2D shapes can also be used as the base components of 3D objects created with other workbenches, for example, the [[Part Workbench|Part]] and [[Arch Workbench|Arch Workbench]]es. Conversion of Draft objects to [[Sketcher Workbench|Sketches]] is also possible, which means that the shapes can also be used with the [[PartDesign Workbench|PartDesign Workbench]] for the creation of solid bodies.
Draft objects can be used for general drafting, similar to what can be done with Inkscape or AutoCAD. But they can also form the base for the creation of 3D objects in other workbenches. A [[Draft_Wire|Draft Wire]] may define the path of an [[Arch_Wall|Arch Wall]], a [[Draft_Polygon|Draft Polygon]] can be extruded with [[Part_Extrude|Part Extrude]], etc. Many of the [[#Modification|Draft modifier tools]] can be applied to 2D and 3D objects created with other workbenches as well. You can, for example, [[Draft_Move|move]] a [[Sketcher_Workbench|Sketch]] or create a [[Draft_OrthoArray|Draft OrthoArray]] from a [[Part_Workbench|Part]] object.


The Draft Workbench also provides tools to define a [[Draft_SelectPlane|working plane]], a [[Draft_Snap_Grid|grid]], and a [[Draft_Snap|snapping system]] to precisely control the position of geometry.
FreeCAD is primarily a 3D modelling application, and thus its 2D tools aren't as advanced as in other drawing programs. If your primary goal is the production of complex 2D drawings and [[DXF|DXF]] files, and you don't need 3D modelling, you may wish to consider a dedicated software program for technical drafting such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreCAD LibreCAD], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QCad QCad], TurboCad, and others.


If your primary goal is the production of complex 2D drawings and [[DXF|DXF]] files, and you don't need 3D modelling, FreeCAD may not be the right choice for you. You may wish to consider a dedicated software program for technical drafting instead, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreCAD LibreCAD] or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QCad QCad].

Introduction

Kreslicí pracovní plocha umožňuje jednoduché kreslení 2D objektů v aktuálním dokumentu a nabízí několik nástrojů pro následnou modifikaci. Některé z těchto nástrojů fungují i ve všech dalších objektech FreeCAD, nejenom v těch, které jsou vytvořeny v Kreslicí pracovní ploše. Poskytuje také kompletní uchopovací systém a několik utilit pro správu objektů a nastavení.

Draft objects can be used for general drafting, similar to what can be done with Inkscape or AutoCAD. But they can also form the base for the creation of 3D objects in other workbenches. A Draft Wire may define the path of an Arch Wall, a Draft Polygon can be extruded with Part Extrude, etc. Many of the Draft modifier tools can be applied to 2D and 3D objects created with other workbenches as well. You can, for example, move a Sketch or create a Draft OrthoArray from a Part object.

The Draft Workbench also provides tools to define a working plane, a grid, and a snapping system to precisely control the position of geometry.

If your primary goal is the production of complex 2D drawings and DXF files, and you don't need 3D modelling, FreeCAD may not be the right choice for you. You may wish to consider a dedicated software program for technical drafting instead, such as LibreCAD or QCad.

The image shows the grid aligned with the XY plane.
On the left, in white, several planar objects.
On the right a non-planar Draft Wire used as the Path Object of a Draft PathArray.

Drafting

  • Line: creates a straight line.
  • Polyline: creates a polyline (also called wire), a sequence of several connected line segments.
  • Fillet: creates a fillet, a rounded corner, or a chamfer, a straight edge, between two Draft Lines.
  • Arc tools:
  • Arc: creates a circular arc from a center, a radius, a start angle and an aperture angle.
  • Arc by 3 points: creates a circular arc from three points that define its circumference.
  • Circle: creates a circle from a center and a radius.
  • Ellipse: creates an ellipse from two points defining a rectangle in which the ellipse will fit.
  • Rectangle: creates a rectangle from two points.
  • Polygon: creates a regular polygon from a center and a radius.
  • B-spline: creates a B-spline curve from several points.
  • Bézier tools:
  • Point: creates a simple point.
  • Facebinder: creates a surface object from selected faces.
  • ShapeString: creates a compound shape that represents a text string.

Annotation

  • Text: creates a multi-line text at a given point.
  • Dimension: creates a linear dimension, a radial dimension or an angular dimension.
  • Label: creates a multi-line text with a 2-segment leader line and an arrow.
  • Annotation styles...: allows you to define styles that affect the visual properties of annotation-like objects.

Modification

  • Move: moves or copies selected objects from one point to another.
  • Rotate: rotates or copies selected objects around a center point by a given angle.
  • Scale: scales or copies selected objects around a base point.
  • Mirror: creates mirrored copies from selected objects.
  • Offset: offsets each segment of a selected object over a given distance, or creates an offset copy of the selected object.
  • Trimex: trims or extends a selected object.
  • Stretch: stretches objects by moving selected points.
  • Clone: creates linked copies, clones, of selected objects.
  • Array tools:
  • Array: creates an orthogonal array from a selected object. It can optionally create a Link array.
  • Polar array: creates an array from a selected object by placing copies along a circumference. It can optionally create a Link array.
  • Circular array: creates an array from a selected object by placing copies along concentric circumferences. It can optionally create a Link array.
  • Path array: creates an array from a selected object by placing copies along a path.
  • Point array: creates an array from a selected object by placing copies at the points from a point compound.
  • Edit: puts selected objects in Draft Edit mode. In this mode the properties of objects can be edited graphically.
  • Subelement highlight: temporarily highlights selected objects, or the base objects of selected objects.
  • Upgrade: upgrades selected objects.

Draft Tray

The Draft Tray allows selecting the working plane, defining style settings, toggling construction mode, and specifying the active layer or group.

  • Select plane: defines the current Draft working plane. Also available in the menu: Draft → Utilities → Select Plane.
  • Set style: sets the default style for new objects. Also available in the menu: Draft → Utilities → Set style.
  • Toggle construction mode: switches Draft construction mode on or off. Also available in the menu: Draft → Utilities → Toggle construction mode.

Draft annotation scale widget

With the Draft annotation scale widget the Draft annotation scale can be specified.

Draft snap widget

The Draft snap widget can be used as an alternative for the Draft snap toolbar.

Draft snap toolbar

The Draft snap toolbar allows selecting the active snap options. The buttons belonging to active options stay depressed. For general information about snapping see: Draft Snap.

  • Snap lock: enables or disables snapping globally.
  • Snap angle: snaps to the special cardinal points on circular edges, at multiples of 30° and 45°.
  • Snap extension: snaps to an imaginary line that extends beyond the endpoints of straight edges.
  • Snap parallel: snaps to an imaginary line parallel to straight edges.
  • Snap special: snaps to special points defined by the object.
  • Snap near: snaps to the nearest point on faces and edges.
  • Snap ortho: snaps to imaginary lines that cross the previous point at multiples of 45°.
  • Snap grid: snaps to the intersections of grid lines.

Draft utility tools toolbar

Additional tools

The Draft → Utilities menu contains several tools. Most of them can also be accessed from toolbars or the Draft Tray and have already been mentioned above. For the following tools this is not the case:

  • Heal: heals problematic Draft objects found in very old files.

Přidané funkce

  • Uchopování: Umožňuje umístit nové body na zvláštní místa na existujících objektech
  • Omezování: Umožňuje umístit nové body horizontálně nebo vertikálně v relaci k předchozím bodům
  • Working plane: Allows you to define a plane in the 3D space, where next operations will take place
