- If you cant see the center cross hairs on TechDraw's technical drawing in FreeCAD 0.18 / 0.19 and above the by default these are switched off and a number of settings have to be configured in FreeCAD's preferences. There are also a number of options that can be enabled / disabled for each of the the views you add to FreeCAD's TechDraw technical drawing document. This video explains how to get those centre crosshairs visible on you tech sketches.

These short and focused bits of information are great.
Thank you for showing this. I had no idea about the preferences setting for TD. I work with small plexiglass items, draw them in Fc then print them, tape the drawing to the plexiglass and drill holes on my press using the cross-hair center mark. These we enabled by default in 0.18 but thought it was a bug in 0.19 since they didn’t display. My world is spinning again thanks to you video.
Great to hear its helped and your back up and running. I never knew its was disabled in 0.19. I don't like it when that happens in software it really puts people off.
And also great to hear how your using the technical drawings. Always interest how people use the software.
I like the short format; good.
Excellent presentation, keep up the great work...
Thanks, will do! Glad your enjoying.
Brilliant. Thank you.
thank you
Thank you,
what about the little horizontal lines on chamfered edges?
Can these be refined and got rid of?
Side question. How would you indicate depth of the blind hole?
Wow thanks you verry good
Welcome 😊
hi thank you for the video, my question is , is there any way to enlarge and change the center point dot in the center of the plan , i dont know what they call it to me its just the center point dot , what is it called and can it be changed in size and color. i am a linus user i am currently using kde neon as my operating system for the last 5 years or so , i love linux , if their anyone of your viewers that have an aswer it would be very much appreciated thank you
Yes I be able to help as I wrote a blog post with a number of settings to make freecad easier on the eye. These are cakes points and markers in the settings I believe but this details the main ones in a table. mangojellysolutions.blogspot.com/2022/12/settings-and-resources-to-help-with.html
FYI - I went through all here, but still no center marks in TechDraw. Also realized that also no vertices were appearing, no matter how large I set them. OS is Debian Linux 12. Solution was to replace the package manager version of Freecad with the .AppImage file downloaded from Freecad website.
Your videos are always so informative, clear and precise. Thank you very much.
Do you know a way to detach the dimension lines from the part shown in TechDraw?
I mean, that the lines that connect the dimension arrow to the part, so that they don't touch the lines of the part?
Or that these lines be hatched, to avoid any possible confusion.
Like this: _ _ _ _ l , instead of this: ________|
How do you solve the problem where the white background colour of a detail view (for example) is "on top of" the dimensions on the main view? Otherwise if your dimensions go anywhere near the detail view then they get hidden underneath the white rectangle.
How would you deal with odd angled objects in techdraw? I've messed around with this wb a bit but it's been easy parts. Currently in the process of designing a bench for my borther, the seat part is relatively straightforward but the legs and it's supports are all angled and make it awkward since they don't align with the standard front, left, right etc views xD
Good question, you can create custom angles by altering your view point of the object and jumping over to techdraw and adding the view. It's a case of getting the view correct in your 3D view and adding them to the drawing. Other ideas are to use section views so you split your model in half or use a staggered view. I do have another video somewhere on my channel regarding custom section views in tech draw as there not supported or the box.
@@MangoJellySolutions Thank you! Keep up the great work :D:D
They still don't show up for me
And the center marks still never showed up... :'(
Thanks for the vid!
