TechDraw PageDefault

Description

The TechDraw PageDefault tool creates a new Page object using the the template file specified in the TechDraw Preferences.

*Default template that comes with TechDraw: A4_LandscapeTD.svg*

Usage

  1. An active document must exist.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Insert Default Page button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Page → Insert Default Page option from the menu.

Notes

  • If a Page is marked as "do not keep updated" either through its Keep Updated property, through the Toggle Keep Updated option from its window context menu, or by the setting in the Preferences, it will ignore changes in the 3D model. You may notice anomalies (missing geometry, missing Dimension values, etc) in the appearance of the Page. These will correct themselves once the Page is updated with the Redraw Page tool. The Page will have this icon in the Tree view while updating is suspended. This setting also affects the startup process. If a Page is marked as "do not keep updated" it will not be drawn at program start.

  • If the default template is not specified in your user configuration file user.cfg, the tool will try:

:

    $INSTALL_DIR/Mod/TechDraw/Templates/A4_LandscapeTD.svg

: Where $INSTALL_DIR is the directory where FreeCAD was installed, for example:

:

    /usr/share/freecad/Mod/TechDraw/Templates/A4_LandscapeTD.svg
