My CAM software will delete those when it can. Exporting the 3D body created overlapping outlines. What worked even better is using the "Draft" workbench to select the body then create a "Shape 2D view", then export that object rather than the 3D body. I could do that from even the part design workbench. I only needed to select a body and choose the proper format (flattened svg or autodesk dxf 2d). I didn't need to use any special workbenches (necessarily). Your important help was when you said I simply needed to choose "flattened SVG" or Autodesk dxf 2d" of course. Then I dropped back and eventually figured out what I needed. I poked around in that for a while but soon it was going off the rails. You tripped me up when you talked about needing to use "techdraw" and needing to choose an object/page created by techdraw wb. Who would have thought that the correct place to look for that option orders under the character "F". I actually answered the exact same question less than a week ago, but then formulated differently, and if you search you will probably find 100's of those questions in different posts over time.Ĭan't help but smile a bit on the inside every time I am exporting to plain svg, I totally understand that this trips new users. If you in export dropdown choose "Technical Drawing (*.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf)" you in the treeview have to choose an object/page created by techdraw wb. Now wb drawing is depreciated, and "techdraw" should be used instead, it is analogue though if you look at export options. With this in mind, the error dialogue you get probably makes sense also to you. "freecad drawing object/page" which is created by the workbench "drawing". So drawing in this context really means that you have to have a "drawing object", more specifically a The hint is in the name of the option you tried with, sure it says "drawing",īut it is not "drawing" in the sense of the spoken word drawing, and the hint is that it actually list 3 different file formats. You need to choose those specific "native" formats "Flattened SVG (*.svg)" or "Autodesk DXF 2D (*.dxf)". If want to export a sketch or draft object directly to svg or dxf. You are choosing "Drawing (*.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf)" You are using menu "file/export" and then in the drop-down for formats If you have modified a template file and want to update a Page created in the current FreeCAD session that uses this template, temporarily select a different file first, and then select the modified file again.Ī limited number of pre-formatted templates in various standard page sizes are included with FreeCAD.You mark your sketch or draft object that you want to export (also in the treeview) If the Page was created in the current FreeCAD session this will be the default template folder (as set in the TechDraw Preferences). A file dialog opens the folder the current template is located in.In the Property editor click in the Data Template property field.Locate the desired Page object in the Tree view.To select a different template for a drawing: Use the file selection ellipsis (.) to change to a different template. Data Template: a) A pointer to the copy of the original Template file which is incorporated into this *.FCStd file, or b) a filepath to a template accessible on the current machine.This allows users who may not have a copy of the Template file to see the Page as intended. Data Page Result: A copy of the original Template file including all changes to editable texts.Data Orientation: Portrait or Landscape.Templates are SVG files which can be created and modified outside of FreeCAD, with an application such as Inkscape. The Template can also contain editable text fields for attributes like Title, Subtitle, Author, Date, Scale, Weight, Drawing number and Sheet. The Template controls paper size and contains fixed text graphics and text, for example, a page frame or border. Every TechDraw page is based on a Template object.
