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!

TechDraw ToggleFrame

Description

The TechDraw ToggleFrame tool turns the display of View frames, labels and vertices on or off.

*View of the solid projection with frames turned on and turned off*

Usage

  1. If there are multiple drawing pages in the document: optionally activate the desired page by selecting it in the Tree view.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Turn View Frames On/Off button.
    • Select the TechDraw → TechDraw Views → Turn View Frames On/Off option from the menu.
    • If a page is displayed in the Main view area: right-click the page\'s window and select the Toggle Frames option from the context menu.
  3. If there are multiple drawing pages in the document and you have not yet activated a page, the Page Chooser dialog box opens:
    1. Select the desired page.
    2. Press the OK button.
  4. Currently visible View frames will disappear. Currently invisible View frames will appear.
  5. It is possible for different Views to be in different states of frame display. If this happens, invoke this tool once or twice to resynchronize the Views.

Background

The dotted view frame and the vertex dots are just for reference, they aren\'t actually part of the drawing, so you won\'t see them once you export the page as PDF or SVG.

The suggested workflow is to use Turn View Frames On/Off to deactivate the frame surrounding the view, and also the additional dots. With the dots, use the measurement tools to select the correct edges to measure, then toggle the frame (and dots) off to see the final result. Not satisfied? Toggle the frame (and dots) on again, select other vertices and create new measurements, then toggle the frame off again.

You can adjust the size of the vertex dots in the TechDraw Preferences/Scale tab. Please do not set their size to zero, just small or big enough so it\'s comfortable for you to pick them up.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

The Toggle tool currently doesn\'t have a programming interface.
