Extracting Black and White Isometric Drawings from FreeCAD
GIMP + FreeCAD Macro
- Here is a method from Laszlo using GIMP and a FreeCAD macro script.
Inkscape + FreeCAD Drawing Workbench
Roberto Isometric view workflow. This method works fine for parts with regular surfaces (most). I couldn't make it work for wires.
- Open a FreeCAD file with the part you want to extract the isometric view from.(If the wanted part is separated in several smaller parts, go to Part Workbench, select all of these parts and use the tool "Make compound" in the top dropdown menu).
- Go to Drawing Workbench (It seems that Drawing Workbench do the same work faster than Drawing_dimensioning Workbench).
- Use tool named: "Insert new drawing", I chose A3 Landscape (Plain).
- Select the wanted part, by double clicking over it.
- Change to the new drawing page.
- Use tool named: "Insert an orthographic projection of a part in the active drawing" and wait.
- Select another view in Secondary views (just click in other little square). Wait.
- Set "Axis aligned up" option to "X +ve" (try different options until get desired perspective). Wait.
- Click OK.
- Delete the unneeded drawings.
- Use the tool: "Recomputes the current active document" to refresh the drawing.
- You can repeat steps 4-11 for adding another part's isometric view to the same sheet.
- You can change position and scale for each drawing in the combo view data tab (after selecting the wanted drawing).
- You can select the Drawing page and use the tool: "Export a page to a SVG file". I'm planning to use these SVG files to do the LAIs.
