Better use the "Report" icon on your OP so you're sure a mod will get a message. ;)

Pinning a topic means that it stays at the top of the list of posts and doesn't scroll down as new posts arrive.

How did you download the file? I just tried it and it loaded here OK.

I opened this page, https://wiki.freecad.org/Basic_TechDraw_Tutorial, opened https://github.com/FreeCAD/Examples/blo ... _017.fcstd, and then clicked 'view raw' to download.
What does that word mean in FreeCAD? Look in the Glossary.
