![CAD TUTORIAL : FreeCAD Beginner [EASY GUIDE]](/img/1.gif)
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Thank you.
Great, glad you liked it 👍
The tutorial I've been looking for for a long time. Thanks for him.👍
You are welcome 😉
You got me working in under 15 minutes, it all worked as shown. Thanks...
Glad to help
Thanks for all this! Very easy to follow tutorial with a software that can be kinda finnicky. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome 😊
Thanks! I think this videos help a lot with getting more people into freecad. Great!
Thanks!
I am trying to have parts made in China. They need a PDF technical drawing. this coming from freecad is super complicated. Thank you for the info!
Excelente just what I needed, haven’t got a 3D printer so it print on paper and off to the workshop.
Great, glad it helped
@@Adventuresincreation
Just started the Assembly4 one. All going very well so far. Trying to model a concentric encoder I’m building. Thanks again.
Thanks, very useful tutorial!
You are welcome 😎
This helps a ton.
I am glad it helped.
EXCELLENT !!!!!!! THANK YOU.
You are welcome
Very clear. Thanks.
You are welcome 😉
Very good!
Thanks!
Great man, thank You
You are welcome 😉
This will help to make blueprints easier to read
Great, I am glad to hear that
Great as always thank you!!
Have you figured out a way to comment on a hole?
As in a threaded hole tap dimensions etc, or a chamfered hole? At work when I look at a blueprint the hole dimensions have chamfers and depths (or even just to say it is a through hole) with the hole size, it would be nice if I could do the same here.
You can do that with the call-outs it's pretty simple. You can make as many notes as you would like.
Interesting. Can you go the other way? That is, do a traditional three view drawing and create a 3D model from that?
Unfortunately no, you do create models from the sketcher which is similar to TechDraw but constrains sketches with geometry and dimension.
Great vid, but my unwanted trool mind buzzes when I ear Vortex instead of Vector... Thanks mate !
Glad you liked it
Beautiful video. How can I change the thicknesses of all the lines in print? how can I add the d symbol. diameter at a height without forcing it?
Look in the settings for lounge thickness. There are diameter symbols
@@Adventuresincreation trovato grazie
Any Idea where the RED CIRCLE with a LINE thro is to switch off the Boarders .???? I cant see it?
If you right click on the border, can you toggle it?
Thanks for a really great video i have a problem on your screen the red intersection dots are really big and visible however on mine they are tiny and i have to magnify a lot to see them any ideas Thanks
Take a look in your settings you may be able to change them there
Thanks for this great intro. I am missing the centre point for the hole. I tried creating the drawing plane at the origin and on the surface and each time I go into techDraw the centre point is missing and I am unable to dimension. I assume I am missing a setting somewhere. Any ideas?
I believe that's a setting for techdraw. Take a look in settings/techdraw
Than you verry good😃😃😃
Thanks for the feedback
Interesting video. I am just starting to learn FreeCAD. I like how you can create an orthographic projection from a 3D model, but can you do the reverse? Create an orthographic projection and then create the 3D model from that?
Not exactly, in the sketcher you are creating 2d drawings that you will create models from.
Fantastc, and easy to follow - I'm learning heaps. Just one question though. When I try to move the isometric view (by click and hold the left mouse button) it won't. Can only move it by dialing in new positions for x and y. I use CAD mouse settings, but also tried Blender with no change. Any suggestions ?
I use the blender ones, the middle mouse rotates, shift + middle moves it.
But (when using Blender nav buttons) my shift + middle mouse moves the whole page around, not just the ISO view ? Middle mouse does not rotate anything, it just changes the pointer from an arrow to a hand symbol. Also, as I move the mouse over the drawing, individual view faces become highlighted in yellow ? HELP !!!!!
I am confused about the interpretation of your mouse tracing app in this video. It shows the left mouse button pressed when moving the ISO view around the page, nothing about holding the Shift key at the same time ? Where does the middle key show itself ? All this is very confusing for a beginner !!!
@@kevingpearce the old version didn't always show the shift, the new version seems to be better. Sorry about that.
Thanks for all your work. I have been binging from video#1. You show a scale factor of 4x to enlarge your view of a small object. Trying to draw my 150mm square object on A4 it wanted to do it 1:1 so far too big. It doesn't want to do fractions.
You should be able to scale it any way that you want it.
My mistake, I tried 0.5:1 instead of 1:2
Best tutorial yet for dimensions. However, I work in Imperial in/lb decimal system. When a dimension requires 3 decimals it rounds up and prints 2 decimals. For example, a 3/8" dimension always show as .38. I have tried everything I can think of with preferences and can't find anything in techdraw itself. Any suggestions?
Open up the techdraw workbench then go into Edit->Prefences under the dimensions tab you will see Dimension Format. Change the 2 to a 3 and you will have 3 decimal places. The format is in printf style, if you want to know more about it look here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf
@@Adventuresincreation Thank You!
At 1:30 he pressed the button "When in edit mode, switch between section view and full mode". I had to make my FreeCAD fill screen for this menu tool to appear.
You can space out your menu buttons
Hello Sir ! I create pad Sketch constraints 3768mm : 380mm Why how the TechDraw the constraints changed. Thank a lot!
I am not sure I understand, techdraw is not where you create constraints.
I have watched this video many times because it has a lot of good stuff in it. I'm using version 20.2 of Freecad. I'm assuming this youtube was developed with an earlier version since my drop down menus don't match up. At 4:57 in your video you mention "hard hidden false" as part of the property options to show a hidden hole and thereby allowing showing the dimensions of the hole. I have searched everyplace I can think of to find a way to draw a dimension showing how deep a hole should be but no luck. Is that option available on 20.2?
Let me check on that. This video was definitely not 20.2. Maybe I will remake it in a newer version
I just checked in V 20.2 and the hard hidden option is still there! - Make sure you have selected your view in the projection group as I did in the video and then you should find it.
@@Adventuresincreation I discovered that it works if I used the "HOLE" option rather than the "POCKET" option to create the hole
I just checked it again and it is now working with both HOLE and POCKET. Have no idea why it did not work before but now it is back up there with one of the best videos out there. Thanks!
I did go in "Hard Hidden" and set it to "true" but not able to get doted lines?? What should I do?? Thanks!
Can you share your file?
@@Adventuresincreation Hi, can we get in touch in private? For you to give me some hints to use FreeCad. I could share you my file. Thanks!
How can I add a simple line to the drawing? It seems that it only allows dimension lines!?
You can add cosmetic line through two points. You can add the points wherever you want to the line to start and end.
I don’t seem to have the X that gets rid of the view box?
Not sure why?!?
Could you advise what is wrong with my TechDraw adjustment? When I want to put dimensions I can't fix two points or point and line. When I push on center of circle it becomes green, but when I want to fix another point the center of circfle becomes black again. I can put dimension only where is needed to fix only one point or line.
I am not sure, did you check your settings to make sure center of circles are switched on?
@@Adventuresincreation I switched on: Arc Center true and Center Scale 2.00. It is on the left bottom corner under title View. Is it enough?
In the techdraw settings under annotations, "print center marks"
@@Adventuresincreation Many thanks. I will try.
Have you tried automating this with a macro?
I have not.
How do I make the image to scale?
You can scale views individually in the settings.
I can't put dimension what reflect in your tutorial at the 7 th minute.
I am not sure why
August 13, 2023: You apparently have the same problem I do, but you do not address it! You set your model in TOP VIEW (@3:07) and when you created the drawing, it is erroneously labeled "Front view" (@3:26) and all the subsequent views are obviously also mislabeled. Is there any way to correct it? (other then draw the part in Front view as if it was a top view - as Solid Works does)
I am not sure it's a problem as long as the view you have is the one you want. You can rename them to anything you like.
I know, but that is not the point. I want to find solution where I get get the correct results with minimum edits. I.e. correct the settings(if possible) and save it, so the next time I do not have to mess with it... It is difficult to explain to my 8 years old grandson this kind of "fleas" in the software. It is extremely frustrating for him as he sees it as "stupid" comparing to the games he plays on his computers.... I need him to like it, not dismiss it for little stuff like this...
@@Adventuresincreation
@@jiritichy6855 model it in the view you want to see it.
I am not sure if I understand.....I do model it in top view-and then when creating TechDraw, I put it(the model) in the top view, which is the view I want to see it. But the application calls my top view erroneously front view. Can you please, explain it little bit better so I can overcome this hurdle for my little boy. Thanks
