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!

Description

The Std MeasureDistance command creates a distance object that measures and displays the distance between two points.

Usage

  1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Std MeasureDistance button.
    • Select the Tools → Measure distance option from the menu.
  2. Select the first dimension point anywhere on an object in the 3D view.
  3. Select the second dimension point anywhere on an object in the 3D view.
  4. The selection order of the points can have an impact on the position of the dimension line.
  5. Optionally flip the position of the dimension line by changing the ViewMirror property of the distance object.

Notes

  • You cannot use the Draft snap tools with this command.
  • To add dimensions to drawings use the dimension tools from the TechDraw Workbench.
  • For more comprehensive measuring tools, install the Manipulator Workbench (an external workbench).

Properties

Data

Base

  • DataLabel: by default the label contains the measured distance, but this distance is not updated when P1 or P2 are later changed.

Measurement

  • DataP1: the first dimension point.
  • DataP2: the second dimension point.
  • DataDistance: (read-only) the measured distance between P1 and P2.

View

Base

  • ViewDist Factor: this factor, multiplied by the measured distance, determines the dimension line offset.
  • ViewFont Size: the height of the letters (line height in pixels).
  • ViewMirror: if set to true the position of the dimension line relative to P1 and P2 is flipped.
