While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

Copying Objects

Overview

Like many other computer programs FreeCAD has the ability to cut, copy and paste objects. Document objects may be freely copied within a document or between documents using the Std Copy, Std Paste and Std DuplicateSelection commands.

Please consider that the copy-pasted objects are not dependent on the original. If you want dependent clones please use Draft Workbench\'s Clone or Part Design Workbench\'s Clone. If you need neither a dependent clone nor a parametric replica, you may also use Part Workbench\'s Simple Copy. For patterned clones, please look into the Other Methods section of this page.

Copying Linked Objects

If an object to be copied has links to object(s) not in the selection, FreeCAD will ask if the unselected objects should be included in the copy operation.

Finding and Positioning Pasted Object(s)

After a copy-paste operation, it may not be obvious where the new objects are located in the 3D view. That is because the new objects have the same Placement property as their originals. Toggle the Visibility property (Spacebar) to hide the originals and then move the copies to their correct position, for example using Std TransformManip or Std Placement.

Other Methods

Like most things in FreeCAD, there are many ways of making a copy. For more ideas, look at:

  • PartDesign: Mirror, Linear Pattern, Polar Pattern, MultiTransform
  • Part: Mirror, Create simple copy
  • Draft: Offset, Scale, Array, PathArray, Clone, Mirror
