Introduction to FreeCAD
FreeCAD is a free, open-source parametric 3D modeling application. It is made primarily to model real-world
objects, ranging from the small electronic components up to buildings and civil engineering projects, with a
strong focus on 3D-printable objects. FreeCAD is not designed for a particular kind of work, or to make a
certain kind of objects. Instead, it allows a wide range of uses, and permits users to produce models of all sizes
and purposes. Each of these tasks have different dedicated sets of tools and workflows available.
FreeCAD is also multiplatform (it runs exactly the same way on Windows, Mac OS and Linux platforms), and
it is open-source. Being open-source, FreeCAD benefits from the contributions and efforts of a large community
of programmers, enthusiasts and users worldwide. FreeCAD is free to download, use, distribute and modify.
When FreeCAD is opened, it displays the Start Centre. The default workbench (Start) can be changed based
on the requirement.
FreeCAD Interface
A FreeCAD document contains all the objects of your scene. It can contain groups, and objects made with any
workbench. The user can therefore switch between workbenches, and still work on the same document. The
user can also open several documents at the same time in FreeCAD, and open several views of the same
document.
Inside the document, the objects can be moved into groups, and have a unique name. Managing groups, objects
and object names is done mainly from the Tree view.
10
SASTRA Deemed University 2021-2022 CIV103 Engineering Graphics
Note: It can also be done, of course, like everything in FreeCAD, from the Python interpreter. In the Tree view,
you can create groups, move objects to groups, delete objects or groups, by right-clicking in the tree view or on
an object, rename objects by double-clicking on their names, or possibly other operations, depending on the
current workbench.
Workbenches
Workbenches are group of tools (toolbar buttons, menus, and other interface controls) that are grouped together
by specialty. Think of a workshop where you have different people working together: A person who works with
metal, another with wood. Each of them has, in their workshop, a separate table with specific tools for his/her
job. However, they can all work on the same objects. The same happens in FreeCAD.
11
SASTRA Deemed University 2021-2022 CIV103 Engineering Graphics
Start Center It allows you to quickly jump to one of the most common
workbenches.
Surface Provides tools to create and modify surfaces. It is similar as the
Part Shape builder Face from edges.
TechDraw For producing technical drawings from 3D models. It is the
successor of the Drawing Workbench.
Test Framework It is for debugging FreeCAD.
Draft WORKBENCH :
The Draft Workbench is primarily focused on the creation and modification of 2D objects in FreeCAD.
But it is not restricted to the XY plane of the global coordinate system. Its objects can have any orientation and
position in 3D space, and some Draft objects can either be planar or non-planar.
Draft objects can be used for general drafting, similar to what can be done with Inkscape or AutoCAD. But
they can also form the base for the creation of 3D objects in other workbenches. A Draft Wire may define the
path of an Arch Wall, a Draft Polygon can be extruded with Part Extrude, etc. Many of the Draft modifier tools
can be applied to 2D and 3D objects created with other workbenches as well. You can, for example, move a
Sketch or create a Draft Ortho Array from a Part object.
12
SASTRA Deemed University 2021-2022 CIV103 Engineering Graphics
The Draft Workbench also provides tools to define a working plane, a grid, and a snapping system to precisely
control the position of geometry.
This is called as
WORKBENCH!
SETUP
1. Open FreeCAD:
Switch to the Draft Workbench from the workbench selector, or the menu View → Workbench → Draft.
2. Snap toolbar
The Draft Snap toolbar is normally activated when you switch to the Draft Workbench.
To make sure it is always there, go to the Draft Preferences, Edit → Preferences → Draft → Grid and
snapping tab.
Verify that the Show Draft Snap toolbar is active.
You can also change the visibility and properties of the Draft grid in this same window.
3. Working planes
Most Draft objects are planar shapes so they are naturally based on a working plane. A working plane can be
one of the main XY, XZ, and YZ global coordinate planes, or it can be a plane that is parallel to them with a
positive or negative offset, or it can be a plane defined by the face of a solid object.
3.1.Press SelectPlane, or go to the menu Utilities → Select plane, to open the working plane task
panel.
13
SASTRA Deemed University 2021-2022 CIV103 Engineering Graphics
3.2. Press Top (XY)Before pressing the button, you can also change the value of the offset in millimetres,
as well as the grid spacing, the main lines and snapping radius.
4. Preferences
Import Export Preferences: preferences available for importing from and exporting to different file
formats.
5. File formats
The Draft Workbench provides FreeCAD with importers and exporters for several file formats. These are used
by the Std Import and Std Export commands.
Autodesk .DWG: imports and exports DWG files via the DXF importer, when the ODA Converter utility is
installed.

Problem 07: A cone of base 40 mm diameter and axis 50 mm long touches VP on a point its base circle. Its
axis is inclined at 30◦ to VP and parallels to HP. Draw its projections.
Procedure:
1. Start the FreeCAD software and open the “Draft” workbench.
2. Make the required setup in the Edit → Preferences for the general and draft workbench as per
requirements.
First Front View (I):
i. Draw a circle (assume the cone axis to be perpendicular to VP and parallel to HP) using the
circle tool in the draft creation toolbar for the radius of 20 mm. {circle can be drawn by making
the global (x,y,z) as (0,0,0) – but not mandatory}
ii. Ensure the “snap angle” option is enabled in the draft snap toolbar, which helps to fix points in
the drawn circle {similar to dividing the circle into an equal number of parts}.
iii. Use the “A” tool in the draft annotation toolbar to make the text a’, d’(b’), c’ and o’.
iv. Draw a line for the reference line and make the text X, Y, VP and HP. Using the dimensioning
tool, mention the radius or diameter of the circle.
Note: Other than {a’, d’(b’), c’} are referred as construction lines that do not require naming.

represent the Section Plane) at an angle of 30º to XY line
ii. Mark the cutting points 1’, (6’), 2’, (5’), 3’, (4’) as shown using TEXT option.
Sectional Top View:
i. Draw the vertical projectors through the points 1’, (6’), 3’, (4’) to meet the slant edges in the top
view at points 1, 6, 3 and 4 using the LINE option. Mark these points using the TEXT option.
ii. Draw a radial line oq (length = radius of the inscribing circle = 25 mm) parallel to the XY line.
iii. Project point q to the XY line to get q’ and draw the slanting edge o’q’.
iv. In the front view, draw a horizontal line through 2’ using the LINE option to obtain the point m’
on the edge o’q’. Through m’, draw a vertical projector to meet the radial line oq at m.
v. Keeping o as centre and om as radius, draw an arc using the ARC option to meet the line ob and
oe to obtain the points 2 and 5 respectively. Join points 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 using the B-SPLINE option.
Provide a ‘Simple’ hatch pattern for the sectional top view.
