Description
This tool places in the document a 2D object which is a flattened view of a selected Shape-based object.
How to use
- Select the object you want to extract a 2D view from
- Press the
Draft Shape2DView button
Options
- If the selected object is an Arch SectionPlane, the 2D projection will be of the contents of the Section plane, and the projection vector will be taken from the section plane instead of the Projection property below.
Properties
DataProjection: The direction of the projection
Scripting
The Draft Shape2DView tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:
makeShape2DView (object,[projection]): adds a 2D shape to the document, which is a 2D projection of the given object. A specific projection vector can also be given. Returns the generated object.
Example:
import FreeCAD,Draft Draft.makeShape2DView(FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.ActiveObject)
