The source files for this manual are hosted on this wiki, and on the original github account used to write the first version of this book. The contents of this manual are published under the Creative Commons 4.0 license, and can be freely used, downloaded, copied, and modified. This manual is being written for the newest stable version of FreeCAD, version 0.18 (early 2019). It will become a companion for the wiki, but not replace it.
#CAD DOCUMENTATION HOW TO#
Customization Guide - Provides detailed information on how to customize AutoCAD. Command Reference - Provides comprehensive descriptions for all AutoCAD commands and system variables. NET allows developers to open, read and process AutoCAD DWG, DXF, DWT and other CAD and BIM file formats, such as: DGN, DWF, DWFX, IFC, STL. This manual will walk you through much of the information available on the wiki, but we hope the step-by-step approach based on examples and a more unified tone due to a smaller number of authors will make it more suitable for a first contact with FreeCAD. current Indiana Design Manual, and that document will govern in the event of conflicting information presented in this CAD Standards Manual. User's Guide - Explains AutoCAD concepts, provides step-by-step procedures, and lists associated commands. This makes it an excellent resource for reference, but a less practical tool for learning FreeCAD. Example: BAC Management Importing a package. Example: BAC MgmtExport Changes to Package. Examples for the PTC Business Administration Change Management. Like most wikis, it contains huge amounts of information but is somewhat difficult to access and navigate by newcomers. Deleting Associations between Parts and CAD Documents. The wiki is written collaboratively by dozens of community members. This manual is an experiment, taking a different approach from the official FreeCAD documentation wiki. Create parametric models that can be very. This book emphasizes the importance of consistent, well-planned, and computer-oriented engineering documentation systems to engineering, manufacturing. It has several goals: Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you’d describe the object to a human, using a standard, already established programming language. The data you produce with FreeCAD is fully yours, and can be recovered without FreeCAD.įreeCAD is also fundamentally a social project, as it is developed and maintained by a community of developers and users united by their passion for FreeCAD. CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python library for building parametric 3D CAD models.
#CAD DOCUMENTATION CODE#
FreeCAD is free to download, use, distribute and modify, and its source code is open and published under the very permissive LGPL license. It is made primarily to model real-world objects, ranging from small electronic components up to large objects such as buildings and civil engineering projects, with a strong focus on 3D-printable objects. FreeCAD is a free, open source parametric 3D modeling application.
