The Arch Workbench is used to define an Arch_SectionPlane to cut through architectural elements, Walls , Doors , etc., and other solid objects. TechDraw is able to show these sections using ArchViews ( TechDraw_NewArch ). However, if the original document has a PartDesign_Body inside a Std_Part , th...

I used to have several error messages like these. They refer to different Bodies ( PartDesign_Body ). Origin "Origin011" doesn't contain feature with role "XY_Plane" Origin "Origin015" doesn't contain feature with role "YZ_Plane" Origin "Origin019" d...

I used to have this error message when using Draft_Clone s of Arch_Structure s. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/freecad-daily/Mod/Arch/ArchPrecast.py", line 77, in onDocumentRestored _Precast.onDocumentRestored(self,obj) File "/usr/lib/freecad-daily/Mod/Arch/ArchPrec...

TechDraw_NewAnnotation s have a property called Rotation to set the angle of the baseline of the annotation. The rotation works when initially creating the annotation. However, if the TechDraw Page is closed (cross on the bottom tab or pressing the space bar to hide the Page), the appearance resets...

In TechDraw you first create a Page, then to create a View from the Model View you either select a Group containing objects, or select the individual objects, and then click TechDraw_NewView . However, selecting a group does not select objects which are inside the main object; for example, if the gr...

If I have a document and create several TechDraw pages, they are initially named Page , Page001 , Page002 , etc. However, it makes sense to rename the pages, for example, Page.front_view , Page.isometric , Page.elevations , whatever. Despite the pages being renamed, the tabs that show the names are ...

As far as I can tell it's a feature new in 0.17 that puts new items created inside a group. Instead of creating a bunch of bodies, and later organizing them into groups, you create one group and set it to autogroup new bodies. I think it should be a very useful tool ( Draft_AutoGroup ), but I guess ...
