File:Iso view.FCMacro Now selected object is copied into a new document and its placement is reseted before the iso views are obtained. This way, the original FreeCAD file doesn't change and the object original placement doesn't affect the iso views placement.

Script:

1. Install this #Macro. #How to install macros in FreeCAD.
2. 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 those parts and use the tool "Make compound" in the top dropdown menu. In this video I used EPA Workbench for assembling the Universal Idler piece with 2 nuts, then I went to Part Workbench for making compound).
3. Select the wanted part, by double clicking over it.
4. Execute the Macro.
5. Double click in the new drawing page called "AutoDrawing".
6. You can change position and scale for each drawing in the combo view data tab (after selecting the wanted drawing).
7. Use the tool: "Export a page to a SVG file"(in Drawing Workbench).
8. Open the SVG file with Inkscape.
9. Make required fixes to the image using tool: "Edit paths by nodes(F2)".
10. Export PNG image.
