Turns or joins objects into a higher-level object Rotates objects by a certain angle around a point Moves or copies objects from one location to another

The ShapeString tool inserts a compound shape representing a text string at a given point in the current documentĬreates a new object from selected faces on existing objectsĭraws a Bezier curve from a series of points Toolĭraws a line made of multiple line segments (polyline)ĭraws an arc segment from center, radius, start angle and end angleĭraws a regular polygon from a center and a radius It is principally meant to draw the guidelines for Arch objects, but also serves as FreeCAD's "swiss army knife". It also provides several drawing aids, such as grid and snapping. and a series of generic handy tools such as move, rotate or scale. The Draft Workbench provides tools to do basic 2D CAD drafting tasks: lines, circles, etc. Mirrors the selected object on a given mirror planeĬreate a ruled surface between selected curvesĬreates a scaled copy of the original objectĪssign a thickness to the faces of a shape ToolĬreates various other parametric geometric primitivesĬreate more complex shapes from primitivesĮxtracts the common (intersection) part of two objectsĮmbeds a walled object into another walled objectĬreates a cutout in a wall of an object for another walled objectĬreates a solid by revolving another object (not solid) around an axisĬreates a section by intersecting an object with a section planeĬreates multiple cross sections along an object Being the main anchor point with OpenCasCade, the Part workbench provides the foundation of FreeCAD's geometry system, and almost all other workbenches produce Part-based geometry. The Part Workbench provides basic tools for working with solid parts: primitives, such as cube and sphere, and simple geometric operations and boolean operations. However, for clarity, they are separated below.
Refer to each workbench page in the FreeCAD documentation for a more complete list.įour workbenches are also designed to work in pairs, and one of them is fully included into the other: Arch contains all the Draft tools, and PartDesign all the Sketcher tools. The table below will give you an overview of the most important workbenches and their tools.
One of the biggest difficulty for new users of FreeCAD, is to know in which workbench to find a specific tool.
