FreeCAD Tutorial - Basics - DXF Import

That was the BEST tutorial in FreeCAD that I have viewed. Very concise, great flow and speed.

Wow thank you soooooo much!!

chad. Thank you!

Thank you so much!!!

Have tried numerous times to import DXF from Illustrator to FreeCad. I have changed both units in Illustrator and in the FreeCad import preferences but it always multiplies my DXF by 25.4. Have spent hours trying everything imaginable and scouring the forums to no avail. It just will not take a DXF from Illustrator in mm's as 1:1. I have even tried to reduce the import to 0,03937 and it does nothing. Annoying as hell.

How do you do that with a dxf file of an egg?

0.20 FreeCAD allowed me to select the whole thing and create a single sketch. Thank you for the tutorial, this helps allot with designing things, being able to get the .dxf files for parts and fasteners into my designs.

Thank you so mush sir

Um pequeno upgdate... Neste momento não precisa de fazer "merge sketck", basta selecionar os "wire´s" e converter direto para sketck, extrusão ocorre normalmente

Fantastico... simples e muito bem explicado... parabéns 😀

PERFEKT :-)

Do you have a video on preparing this extrusion model for inserting into Assembly4 to construct a frame and attach parts to it?
I am having difficulty creating LCS along the slots for aligning other parts

Thank you for this amazing tutorial. However, I am running into an issue with Ver 0.19. Once I converted a group of shapes into a Wire, the resulting sketch has hundreds of unconstrained points. Is there any update on how to obtain a fully-constrained sketch?

How did you get this? My files won't open

Wow. Perfect job. Thanks

Great stuff. Please keep making more freecad content. Despite being a workbench safari, your explanations were excellent and easy to understand. Thank you!

👍

Excellent tutorial, clear slow instructions that are simplicity itself to follow. The best tutorial I've found on the web.

If anyones interested you can do the same with SVG file

Excellent for -DXFs, but can DWGs be imported?
