In this tutorial you have learned enough about TechDraw to produce a drawing like this one (by NormandC). (if you still see 43.27, you may need to press the Recompute button or drag the dimension value a bit until it changes.) Our dimension should now read the correct value of 53.

In this tutorial, you will be using the TechDraw Workbench to create a 2D drawings of the 3D part below. This tutorial will take user through the steps needed to produce technical drawings of the part from the Basic Part Design Tutorial.ĭownload the sample file from the Part Design tutorial. This tutorial is not a complete and comprehensive guide to the TechDraw Workbench and many of the tools and capabilities are not covered. If you need more editing, edit the SVG file with other general drawing tool (like Inkscape).This tutorial introduces the new user to some of the tools and techniques used in the Technical Drawing (TechDraw) Workbench. Change editable field dialogįinally, hide editing frame to check the drawing and save the page to a SVG format file.

Click leading green rectangles at text on right-bottom of the drawing to show editing dialog. Inserts hatching, text, vector image, bitmap image. Īlso you can insert text, SVG format vector image or PNG/JPEG format bitmap image etc.

Select a face on the drawing and execute hatching. It is possible to set hatching to the face. To delete dimension, select the dimension on the drawing and push Delete key. If you wnat to add unit to a dimension, select the dimension and edit "Format Spec" property at Data tab on Combo View. If you want inserts angle, select 2 edges and insert angle. Inserts vertical dimension and horizonal dimensionĪlso it is possible to insert a diameter or radius by selecting circle or arc on the drawing and execute diameter or radius. In the same way, you can insert vertical dimension and horizonal dimension. Select an edge (or select 2points with pressing Ctrl key) on the drawing and inserts dimention to selected edge.
