Set the Radius to 30 mm, and press Enter.
Set the Center to (0, 0, 0), and press Enter. Press SelectPlane, or go to the menu Utilities → Select plane, to open the working plane task panel.īefore pressing the button, you can also change the value of the offset in millimeters, as well as the grid spacing, the main lines and snapping radius.Ĥ.1. A working plane can be one of the main XY, XZ, and YZ global coordinate planes, or it can be a plane that is parallel to them with a positive or negative offset, or it can be a plane defined by the face of a solid object.ģ. Most Draft objects are planar shapes so they are naturally based on a working plane. You can also change the visibility and properties of the Draft grid in this same window. Verify that the Show Draft Snap toolbar is active. To make sure it is always there, go to the Draft Preferences, Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and snapping tab. The Draft Snap toolbar is normally activated when you switch to the Draft Workbench.Ģ.1. Utiliza Seleccionar Plano para fijar tanto el plano de trabajo como la parrilla, y muestra y oculta la parrilla con Toggle grid.Ģ. Aunque no se utiliza en este tutorial, la parrilla de Draft es muy útil para situar elementos geométricos. Utiliza Vista arriba para fijar la Vista 3D. Dado que los objetos Draft son formas planas, se ven mejor desde arriba. Cuando cambies propiedades es posible que tengas que para ver el resultado en la Vista 3D. Asegúrate de entender cómo utilizar el Editor de propiedades, en particular las pestañas Datos y Vista para cambiar las propiedades. Cambia al Banco de Trabajo Draft en el selector de Banco de Trabajo o con el menú Vista → Banco de Trabajo → Draft. Abre FreeCAD y crea un nuevo documento vacío con Fichero→ Nuevo.ġ.1.
Easier to read HTML, PDF, MOBI and EPUB versions are also available here. The source files for this manual are hosted on this wiki, and on the original github account used to write the first version of this book. The contents of this manual are published under the Creative Commons 4.0 license, and can be freely used, downloaded, copied, and modified. This manual is being written for the newest stable version of FreeCAD, version 0.18 (early 2019). It will become a companion for the wiki, but not replace it. This manual will walk you through much of the information available on the wiki, but we hope the step-by-step approach based on examples and a more unified tone due to a smaller number of authors will make it more suitable for a first contact with FreeCAD. This makes it an excellent resource for reference, but a less practical tool for learning FreeCAD.
Like most wikis, it contains huge amounts of information but is somewhat difficult to access and navigate by newcomers. The wiki is written collaboratively by dozens of community members. This manual is an experiment, taking a different approach from the official FreeCAD documentation wiki. The data you produce with FreeCAD is fully yours, and can be recovered without FreeCAD.įreeCAD is also fundamentally a social project, as it is developed and maintained by a community of developers and users united by their passion for FreeCAD. FreeCAD is free to download, use, distribute and modify, and its source code is open and published under the very permissive LGPL license. It is made primarily to model real-world objects, ranging from small electronic components up to large objects such as buildings and civil engineering projects, with a strong focus on 3D-printable objects. FreeCAD is a free, open source parametric 3D modeling application.
