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 TechDraw BrokenView tool inserts a "broken view" that is either based on an existing Part View, or one or more objects, such as Bodies or Parts. The broken view also requires one or more sketches that define the location and size of the areas to be removed, and also the length of the breaking lines. The BrokenView behaves similarly to other Views. The projection direction is taken from the existing Part View, the 3D camera direction or the normal of a selected face.

The result

Usage

  1. Optionally rotate the 3D View. The 3D View determines the initial values of the DataDirection and DataXDirection properties of the broken view.
  2. Select the object you want to create a broken view of, or select an existing TechDraw view that contains this object.
  3. Add one or more break sketches to the selection by selecting them in the Tree View. Each sketch should only contain two parallel lines. You can also use other objects with two parallel edges.
  4. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Broken View button.
    • Select the TechDraw → TechDraw Views → Broken View option from the menu.

Properties

See also: Property View.

A Broken View, formally a TechDraw::DrawBrokenView object, is derived from a Part View, formally a TechDraw::DrawViewPart object, and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data

Broken View

  • DataBreaks (LinkList): Objects in the 3D View that define the start/end points and direction of breaks in this view.
  • DataGap (Length): The separation distance for breaks in this view (unscaled 3D length).

Notes

  • Breaks must be vertical or horizontal. Oblique breaks are not supported.
  • See also TechDraw View.

Scripting

See also: Autogenerated API documentation and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

A BrokenView can be created with macros and from the Python Console by using the following functions: 

doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument
box = doc.Box
profile = doc.Sketch
page = doc.Page

brokenView = doc.addObject("TechDraw::DrawBrokenView", "BrokenView")
page.addView(brokenView)
brokenView.Source= box
brokenView.Breaks = [doc.Sketch]
