Other languages:

The preferences screen of the TechDraw Workbench are found in the Preferences Editor, Edit → Preferences → TechDraw.

Tab TechDraw General

File:TechDraw Preferences1.png
  • Projection Angle: Insert Projection Group will use either first- or third-angle projection. See multiview projection for an explanation.
  • Hidden Line: The style (solid, dashed, etc.) to be used for hidden lines.
  • Detect Faces: If checked, TechDraw will attempt to build faces using the line segments returned by the hidden line removal algorithm. Faces must be detected in order to use Hatching, but there can be a performance penalty in complex models.
  • Show Section Edges: Highlights the border of the section cut in Section Views.
  • Editable Text Marker Size: Size of editable text marker in templates (green dots).

Drawing Update

introduced in version 0.19

  • Update With 3D: Whether or not pages are updated every time the 3D model is changed. This is a global policy setting.
  • Allow Page Override: Whether or not a page's Keep Update property can override the global Update With 3D parameter. This is a global policy setting.
  • Keep Page Up To Date: Keeps the drawing pages in sync with the 3D model in real time. This can slow the response time.
  • Auto-distribute Secondary Views: Automatically distributes secondary views for Projection Groups.

Colors

Setup of the default colors for new pages. Additionally there is an option:

Labels

  • Label Font: The name of the default font for labels.
  • Label Size: Default size for label text.

Files

Dimensions

  • Show Units: append the unit specifier (mm, in, etc.) to values.
  • Use Global Decimals: use the number of decimal positions from Preferences → General → Units.

  • Format Spec: formats dimension text. Uses printf format specifier.
  • Font Size: size for Dimension Text.
  • Color: default color for Dimension text and lines.
  • Diameter Symbol: diameter dimensions will be prefixed by this text.
  • Arrow Style: choose the dimension line end mark you prefer.
