You move and scale those views on the TechDraw page so they suit your real world requirements and then print the page. If you want to print technical drawings in today's FreeCAD, you first create the real size 3d model, then you push views of that 3d model onto a 2d page using TechDraw workbench (note, TechDraw not the older now deprecated Drawing WB.). Modern CAD like FreeCAD actually creates a "real" model of the object not just a series of line drawings showing a view from different directions. Those drawings are just that, just a drawing, with enough information so that you can interpret what is intended to be shown. The scaling that the original poster was talking about is an old out of date concept, like drawing a technical drawing but in a computer rather than paper. Normally you set the scale to 1:100 and go from there, or as with Sketchup, you enter the dimension you want and then blow it up to work on it.Ī seven year old topic! FreeCAD has evolved beyond all recognition over that time.Īs the others said, modern CAD, you model your object in real size.you then zoom the "view" of it so that it fits on your screen, but the object remains in its real size. ![]() Hi ickby, I too am just starting with Freecad, but cannot see how you can draw a fish tank 4,000 mm long by 1250 mm wide full size and then scale it down. ![]() I'm not overly familiar with draft workbench, but I would say: you don't set the scale! You draw everything the real size and when you put it on a drawing (drawing workbench) you can set the scale to fit it on a standart paper size.
