FreeCAD Part Design Tutorial 13

  FreeCAD Part Design Video Tutorial Technical drawing is below. This time, I create two drawings with views.Video contains how to design this part in FreeCAD workbench. If you want to practice, you can watch all steps in video then you can create same drawing.

 Both technical drawings use for same part design tutorial. First one is for how to decide starting plane. Thats why views have no dimensions.

 Drawing contains

• How to decide starting plane in 2D sketch
• Creating datum plane according to technical drawing
• Using 2D sketch constraints relations
• Adding constraints
• Using Isometric View to create a sketch.
• Adding Dimensions
• Using lock constraint
• Creating sketch without external geometry
• Creating pad and pocket in symmetric to plane.

When you watch below video, You will see how to do these in FreeCAD

FreeCAD Sketcher Constrain Lock

 Constraint Lock applies  Horizontal distance and Vertical distance constraints to selected vertices (points) in the sketch. If a single vertex is selected, the horizontal and vertical distance constraints will refer to the sketch origin point. If two or more points are selected, horizontal and vertical distance constraints will be added for each pair of points.

 It provides easiness which helps to create desired constraints in 2D sketch. Lock constraint button is located on top sides of constraints set.

 This is the picture of lock constraint 

TECHNICAL DRAWING OF VIDEO TUTORIAL

  How to use lock constraint ? Read these 3 steps to use it.

1- Select one or more vertices (points) in the sketch.

2-Press the Sketcher Constrain lock button.

3-To edit the constraints values, double-click on a constraint value in the 3D view, or double-click on the constraint or right-click and select Edit value in the Constraint list in the Tasks tab.

 This is technical drawing is created by using lock constraint button.

FreeCAD Revolution Tutorial

  Revolution tool is used to create a solid by revolving a selected sketch according to axis. It provides an easiness instead of pad and circles commands. One sketch helps to create a 3d sketch without any other tools or commands. 

  Revolution tool is called as different names like shaft depends CAD programs. Tool has  same mission. 

 Now If i tell how to use this tool shortly;

• Select the sketch to be revolved. A face on the existing solid can alternatively be used.
• Press the PartDesign Revolution.svg Revolution button.
• Set the Revolution parameters (see next section).
• Lastly Press OK to complete 3d sketch.

 You can change axis according to desired drawing. It revolves automatically around vertical sketch axis, when you don't change anything.

 Technical drawing for revolve video tutorial

 Technical drawing has two views which are top and section. Firstly, half of section view is used, then both view will be used to create dimension and revolve in part design.

 If you want to understand and how to create revolution in freecad, I advise to you watch below video.

 When creating a revolution, the Revolution  dialogue offers several parameters specifying how the sketch should be revolved. First parameter is axis.

This option specifies the axis about which the sketch is to be revolved.

• Vertical sketch axis: selects the vertical sketch axis.

• Horizontal sketch axis: selects the horizontal sketch axis.

• Construction line: selects a construction line contained in the sketch used by the Revolution. The drop down list will contain an entry for each construction line.

• Base (X/Y/Z) axis: selects the X, Y or Z axis of the Body's Origin

• Select reference..: allows selection in the 3D view of an edge on the Body, or a datum line.

Angle

 This controls the angle through which the revolution is to be formed, e.g. 360° would be a full, contiguous revolution. The images in the examples section demonstrate some of the possibilities with specifying different angles. It is not possible to specify negative angles (use the Reversed option instead) or angles greater than 360°.

Symmetric to plane

 If checked, the revolution will extend half of the specified angle in both directions from the sketch plane.

Reversed

 If checked, the direction of revolution is reversed from default clockwise to counterclockwise.

FreeCAD Part Design Tutorial 7 Drawing

  Part design tutorial includes 2d sketch and 3d design with constraints. This drawing is generally used 2d commands. Drawing is created on YZ plane (front view). According to technical drawing, plane place is defined.

 This is the technical drawing of Part Design Tutorial

 This is the front view of technical drawing. Rim rim point command is used to create this drawing. It works like tangent tangent radius command in Autocad. You can use it for corner radius.
