&lt;div&gt;{{Hint|&#039;&#039;&#039;FreeCAD is open source Computer Aided Design (CAD) software that OSE uses on a regular basis to produce 3D designs, fabrication drawings, exploded part diagrams, and other assets indispensable to the design of physical objects}} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Basics=&lt;br /&gt;
*A [[FLOSS]] [[CAD]] software&lt;br /&gt;
*It is currently (as of 2020) OSE&#039;s official CAD software&lt;br /&gt;
*It is also a part of [[OSE Linux]] v1.0 (using FreeCAD 0.16) in OSE&#039;s custom Linux distribution&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Most Recent Versions=&lt;br /&gt;

=FreeCAD Downloads=&lt;br /&gt;

*The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage AppImage] is available to download on the [https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.16 FreeCAD GitHub page for the 0.16 release].&lt;br /&gt;
*Alternatively, click the below link to download the AppImage directly from the FreeCAD repo:&lt;br /&gt;

===FreeCAD 0.16 Appimage Notes===&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Marcin,&lt;br /&gt;
I just tested my workbench with an Appimage.&lt;br /&gt;
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/download/0.18.4/FreeCAD_0.18-16146-Linux-Conda_Py3Qt5_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage and  the recent version https://github.com/rkrenzler/ose-piping-workbench.&lt;br /&gt;
The workbench works. I assume that PyQt5 could be a reason for the problem.&lt;br /&gt;
When I started to develop ose-piping-workbench I used the old Version of PyQT then I ported the workbench to the new version. Maybe this is the reason why it worked before but it does not work anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
Best regards,&lt;br /&gt;
Ruslan&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Action Plan==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Recruit software developer to analyze FreeCAD and build with/upon their work. Short-term Objective: Get Assembly Module Working.&lt;br /&gt;
* Document FreeCAD source code in github repository.&lt;br /&gt;
* Document FreeCAD&#039;s code structure. (some preliminary work available at https://github.com/qingfengxia/FreeCAD_Mod_Dev_Guide)&lt;br /&gt;

=OSE FreeCAD Documentation=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I (Mark Norton) have created a very simply, introductory guide to FreeCAD.  It only covers the very basics at this point, but we can expand on it as needed.  -  [[User:Mjn]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:FreeCAD-3.pdf]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This document covers the following topics:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Views&lt;br /&gt;
* Workshops&lt;br /&gt;
* Sizing a Primitive Part&lt;br /&gt;
* Positioning a Part&lt;br /&gt;
* Making a Cut&lt;br /&gt;
* Combining Parts&lt;br /&gt;
* Rotating a Part&lt;br /&gt;
* Extrusion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=OSE FreeCAD Requirements=&lt;br /&gt;
For OSE to use FreeCAD for all of its design needs, these are the functions required. Do these exist? Please comment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Freehand drawing of shapes and extrusion (like Sketchup).[[Image:check.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Adding parameters to all of the shapes, so they can be modified. [[Image:check.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Modifying all parameters in 3D parametrically (typing in lengths) [[Image:check.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Modifying all parameters in 3D with the mouse (such as dragging corners, edges, and faces)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://github.com/ickby Response from FreeCAD developer ickby]: &amp;quot;This is not possible and will not be in the future. This kind of behavior needs quite advanced back-end functionality which is not provided by our geometric modeling kernel&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Adding parameters in 3D parametrically (boolean operations)? [[Image:check.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Adding parameters in 3D by drawing them and extruding (mouse-based boolean operations)&lt;br /&gt;
*Adding parameters to shapes in 3D parametrically (such as drawing in new objects parametrically)?&lt;br /&gt;
*Adding parameters to shapes in 3D manually (such as drawing in new objects with a mounse)?&lt;br /&gt;
*For multiple objects, moving them with the mouse to arrange, mate, align them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://github.com/ickby Response from FreeCAD developer ickby]: &amp;quot;That is not yet possible. The assembly workbench is in a very early design phase and still needs quite some time. That is true for basic functionality and integration into freecad workflows.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Grouping and ungrouping objects into assemblies?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://github.com/ickby Response from FreeCAD developer ickby]: &amp;quot;not yet but will be possible with upcoming assembly workbench&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Maintaining parametric nature of grouped objects?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://github.com/ickby Response from FreeCAD developer ickby]: &amp;quot;not yet, but will be possible with the upcoming assembly workbench&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now for interoperability with other CAD packages:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Importing multiple new objects into a drawing - one at a time?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[https://github.com/ickby Response from FreeCAD developer ickby]: &#039;currently you can only import whole files, not individual objects from a file&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Importing multiple objects into a model - all at one time? [[Image:check.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Importing new objects while passing the parametric values into FreeCAD, such as with a STEP file?&lt;br /&gt;

=Contributors and Users=&lt;br /&gt;
From Kostas:&lt;br /&gt;
*Jürgen Riegel is the project founder, working for Daimler Chrysler, his free time is probably limited https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=User:Jriegel &#039;&#039;Update: Jurgen has not been active on the project for many years now. [[User:Kunda|Kunda]] ([[User talk:Kunda|talk]]) 13:46, 4 August 2018 (UTC)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Werner Mayer is the most active developer in terms of commits, he is just awesome, I don&#039;t know what he does professionally but if some funding can get him to increase the time of his participation, this would definitely be a great investment of financial resources. &lt;br /&gt;
*Yorik is our architect: http://yorik.uncreated.net and he is already dedicating a lot of hours in the development of FreeCAD, since he is a free lancer he is probably quite flexible with time, so maybe he could implement special feature requests for FreeCAD even on a paid basis. FYI [https://www.patreon.com/yorikvanhavre Yorik van Havre] has a Patreon account.&lt;br /&gt;
*j-dowset, joined FreeCAD recently and has done a great work on improving blueprints creation in FreeCAD. A very appropriate task for him would be to implement a correct dimensioning system for blueprints. I believe he has the capabilities to implement any kind of feature with relatively short running in time and high quality. &#039;&#039;Update: User is dormant [[User:Kunda|Kunda]] ([[User talk:Kunda|talk]]) 13:46, 4 August 2018 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;*mrlukeparry is quite experienced with Qt and Coin3D so he can do a lot of GUI work. Being a student his free time is probably also limited except school vacations. &#039;&#039;Update: he left and returned but hasn&#039;t been active at all in the code or community [[User:Kunda|Kunda]] ([[User talk:Kunda|talk]]) 13:46, 4 August 2018 (UTC)&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*Ickby has worked on a prototype for applying assembly constraints between parts. A special task for him would be to accelerate the implementation of the Assembly module after jriegel has finished with the basic framework/structure/design. &#039;&#039;Update: Ickby has not been very low key for some time. He participates in the forums but has not contributed to the code in a long time, at least not publically. This may change.

*tanderson69 is very good in OpenCascade, so he can work on difficult tasks that have to do with the CAD geometry kernel. &#039;&#039;Update: Participates on the forum and very sporadically on the code. I believe he is involved in another project.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
