On this page I will be posting video tutorials showing how to use FreeCAD workbench called Draft.

You can use this workbench:

  • for 2D CAD drawing - drawing technical drawings, contours for cutting on CNC machines (milling, laser cutting...),  technical illustrations...,

  • for 3D CAD wireframe modeling - modeling wireframe 3D models that are used in some FreeCAD workbenches,

  • to occasionally use some of its tools that are not currently available in other workbenches (Upgrade, Downgrade, Layers, Move...)

I have classified the tutorials into several subcategories:
