Do you want to start using free and open-source software to work in your CAD-related projects? Meet FreeCAD and their incredible array of options to create technical drawings and 3D models for architecture, engineering, and more.In this book, you will learn how to use FreeCAD to create traditional technical drawings for architecture. As an example of project development, you will learn how to draw a full-featured floor plan using FreeCAD. We will add all traditional elements from an architectural drawing like furniture, dimension lines, text annotations, and much more to that floor plan.Here is the chapter list: Chapter 1 - FreeCAD basics for technical drawingChapter 2 - Drawing with FreeCADChapter 3 - Editing and changing drawingsChapter 4 - Starting a floor plan drawingChapter 5 - Adding doors, windows, and surroundingsChapter 6 - Drawing the floor planChapter 7 - Furniture, symbols, and annotationsChapter 8 - Dimension lines, exporting, and printingIn the final chapters, we can take this floor plan design and export it using either the DXF format or as a PDF. You will be able to add the floor plan to page layout for print featuring a title block from a template in FreeCAD.You don't need any previous experiences with FreeCAD, since we will start from the beginning. From the user interface basics to drawing a floor plan!Here is a list of what you will learn in the book: - How to download and start with FreeCAD- Learning the user interface basics- Set the units for a project (Imperial or Metric)- Handling and changing workbenches- Preparing a workspace for 2D drawings- Add draw elements to a project- Use precision drawing controls and the snapping system- Edit and transform drawings- Import and manage DXF and DWG files- Add furniture drawings from external libraries- Use dimension lines in projects- Manage text annotations- Draw a technical drawing based on construction lines- Organize the project in groups- Set drawing properties such as line types and widths- Prepare a plan for print and exporting- Use a paper layout for technical drawings- Insert and edit title blocks- Create new templates for ARCH page sizes- Export a technical drawing in PDFFreeCAD is free and open-source software, and it is available on multiple platforms such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is an excellent alternative for softwares like AutoCA
This unique text and video set presents a thorough introduction to Autodesk Inventor for anyone with little or no prior experience with CAD software. It can be used in virtually any setting from four year engineering schools to on-the-job use or self-study. Unlike other books of its kind, it begins at a very basic level and ends at a very advanced level. It’s perfect for anyone interested in learning Autodesk Inventor quickly and effectively using a “learning by doing” approach. Additionally, the extensive videos that are included with this book make it easier than ever to learn Inventor by clearly demonstrating how to use its tools. The philosophy behind this book is that learning computer aided design programs is best accomplished by emphasizing the application of the tools. Students also seem to learn more quickly and retain information and skills better if they are actually creating something with the software program. The driving force behind this book is “learning by doing.” The instructional format of this book centers on making sure that students learn by doing and that students can learn from this book on their own. In fact, this is one thing that differentiates this book from others: the emphasis on being able to use the book for self-study. The presentation of Autodesk Inventor is structured so that no previous knowledge of any CAD program is required. This book uses the philosophy that Inventor is mastered best by concentrating on applying the program to create different types of solid models, starting simply and then using the power of the program to progressively create more complex solid models. The Drawing Activities at the end of each chapter are more complex iterations of the part developed by each chapter’s objectives. Since CAD programs are highly visual, there are graphical illustrations showing how to use the program. This reinforces the “learn by doing” philosophy since a student can see exactly what the program shows, and then step through progressive commands to implement the required operations. Rather than using a verbal description of the command, a screen capture of each command is replicated.
