The FreeCAD library can easily be added to your FreeCAD installation (refer to the installing chapter of this manual), or you can simply download the model from the library webpage, or via the direct link provided at the bottom of this chapter.

In the following exercise, we will see how to create a simple drawing of a chair model found in the FreeCAD library (Industrial Design → Chairs → IkeaLikeChair). You can also place all kinds of annotations on the sheet, such as dimensions, texts, and other symbols commonly used in technical drawings.ĭrawing sheets, once complete, can be printed or exported as SVG, PDF or DXF files. On these sheets, you can then place views of the 3D objects you modeled previously, and configure how these views will appear on the sheet. The TechDraw Workbench allows you to create sheets, which can be blank or use a pre-made template to already have a series of items on the sheet, such as borders and a title.
In FreeCAD, the workbench responsible for making such drawings is the TechDraw Workbench. These drawings usually contain not only the drawing itself, but also many annotations, such as text, dimensions, numbers, and symbols that will help other people to understand what needs to be done and how. Typical examples are Ikea instructions, architectural drawings, and blueprints. The drawings are handed over to the person responsible for assembling the final product and will explain how to do it. In technical fields (engineering, architecture, etc), this is usually done with drawings.
When your model cannot be printed or milled directly by a machine, for example it is too big (a building) or it requires manual assembly after the pieces are ready, you will usually need to explain to another person how to do it.
