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.). Looks like a bug, but in FreeCad there are several ways to do the same thing, so i’ve chosen profile on edges for the inside and profile on face for the outside to save some time.ĭon’t forget to add your tabs, so the parts don’t fall out. 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. Hope this helps a bit, wish i could do a video, but tonight is a little short.Įdit: For some reason it will not let me cut the inside by selecting ‘Profile based on face’ and selecting the top. of course set all the other needed parameters like step-down and so for both jobs as well.now create a job for the outside by selecting all the top outside edges, ‘profile edges’ and select ‘cut-side’ outside.I use ‘path by edges’ by choosing the all top edges on the inside and ‘profile edges’ and select ‘cut-side’ inside now you can setup a job, set the tool and the first operation (inside).use the pocket operation to cut out the material (you can choose ‘through all’ or set the same thickness as set for the pad.draw the inside (cut-out) on that sketch.The sketch should should be mapped to the top face of the padded outline if done correctly. click the top face of padded outline and create a new sketch. I also add 0.5 mm as i usually cut into my spoil-board to ensure the parts are cut though, balancing some ‘waved’ sheet.)
