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!

Draft Pattern

Description

Draft objects with a Make Face property can display an SVG pattern instead of a solid face color.


An ellipse and a polygon with an SVG pattern

Usage

  1. Make sure the objects are closed and planar, and do not self-intersect.
  2. To close a Draft Wire, a Draft BSpline, a Draft CubicBezCurve or a Draft BezCurve set its Closed property to True.
  3. To close a Draft Circle or a Draft Ellipse set its First Angle and Last Angle properties to the same value.
  4. Select the objects.
  5. Switch to the View tab of the Property editor.
  6. The Display Mode must be set to {{Value|Flat Lines}}.
  7. Select a Pattern.
  8. Optionally change the Pattern Size. Note that a higher value results in a denser pattern.
  9. The pattern is not displayed when the objects are selected. Deselect them to check the result.
  10. Optionally reselect the objects to change the pattern properties.

Notes

  • SVG patterns are stored in .SVG files. It is possible to use your own custom patterns. See Preferences.
  • The patterns themselves are not saved in the FreeCAD document. Objects whose Pattern cannot be found are displayed with a solid face color instead.

Preferences

See also: Preferences Editor and Draft Preferences.

  • To change the Pattern Size used for new objects: Edit → Preferences... → Draft → Visual → SVG pattern size.
  • To specify a directory with addition SVG patterns: Edit → Preferences... → Draft → Visual → Additional SVG pattern location.
