This small and crudely programmed Qt Program creates drawing sheet templates for FreeCAD and KiCAD that are mostly identical.
The aim of this Project was to create a unified template for KiCAD and FreeCAD TechDraw. The template is similar to the ISO 5457 standard for the general layout; ISO 7200 for the Titelblock; ASME Y14.35 for the optional revision history; and DIN 824 for the optional folding lines.
For the font osifont was used.
- Qt 6.5 or newer
- Osifont
- Plain (Hard Coded)
- ISO5457 (Hard Coded)
- ISO7200 Style A (Hard Coded)
- ISO7200 Style B (Hard Coded)
- ISO7200 Style B (Hard Coded)
- No Circlys(Used for Projektion), the circles are made out of single lines a therfor makes rather big files
- SVG text height is not the same as the real height, Correction factor is applied
This is mostly meant for printing as a template for hand drawing.
- Qt includes random spaces on Windows
If the Text Name is one of the below the Drawers detect that and Fill in the folowing
