The Drawing Workbench was superseded by the TechDraw Workbench in FreeCAD 0.17. While both workbenches are included in v0.17, the Drawing Workbench is no longer maintained, and may be removed in future versions of FreeCAD. Users are advised to make the switch to the TechDraw Workbench which also includes dimensioning and annotation tools.

Introduction

Welcome to the FreeCAD_drawing_dimensioning wiki! Intended work-flow:

  • create a drawing page and a drawing of the part using the drawing workbench
  • switch to the drawing dimensioning workbench to add dimensions to that drawing

The Drawing dimensioning workbench adds powerful dimensioning and annotation tools to the Drawing Workbench (see forum thread).

Features

  • linear dimensioning
  • circular and radial dimensioning
  • angular dimension
  • center lines
  • adding, editing and moving dimension text
  • deleting dimensions
  • draw a dimension or a symbol anywhere on the drawing with "Add grab point"

Limitations

  • no parametric updating, if the drawing is updated the dimensions need to be redone
  • only works with FreeCAD version 0.15 and newer
