So, for the time beeing, you're out of luck: FreeCAD is not good for 2D. I also know many other people who would need a simple and good 2D drawing program.įor all these reasns, I wanted to propose to make it possible/easy to directly combine Sketcher and TechDraw, but I was waiting for FreeCAD v0.19 to be out, in order to not add new reasons to delay this important milestone. But it's not as capable as FreeCAD's sketcher (no constraints !). Today, when doing simple 2D drawings, I use LibreOffice Draw, which is the best 2D drawing program I found. Use straight lines, splines, circles, and rectangles to shape parts and specify features. You can trick FreeCAD to do very good 2D drawings, by making 2D sketeches in 3D and importing them into TechDraw. its major purpose is the management of 3D designs. You can use it for 2D drawings in order to design objects, but this is not the main focus of its development. You have first to create 3D drawings and then import them into TechDraw which makes very good 2D drawings out of 3D objects. FreeCAD is used to sketch geometry constrained forms and shapes to use them as a base to build other objects.
I was trying to replace AutoCAD for FreeCAD, but the last message in Discord group give me doubts about if possible create 2D drawings in FreeCADĪnyone can confirm if FreeCAD is not for 2D? and if not, any suggestions?Īctually, this is a very good question, an I had the same need: unfortunately, out of the box, FreeCAD is not very good at making 2D drawings. Shape 2D view: creates 2D projections from selected objects.
