Brilliant, thank you very much for implementing. On my to do list now to add to the FreeCAD wiki about this workflow - or maybe a youtube tutorial would be better.

Re: [Improvement] Support <use> element in SVG spec to integrate inkscape with TechDraw output

That's great! Awesome stuff. If you're going to be working with Svg pages from multiple FreeCAD documents, should it show documentName+pageName? You could get a bunch of Svg files all with "id=Page". I would be inclined to leave it just as page name. That way you can have svg files with th...

Re: [Improvement] Support <use> element in SVG spec to integrate inkscape with TechDraw output

DrawingWB puts a <g id="Viewxxx"> around each View on the exported Page. Do you need id's for each View or 1 for the whole page? 1 for the whole page would be fine in my view. Although having unique IDs for each view would offer very fine grained control. For example you could have differ...

[Improvement] Support <use> element in SVG spec to integrate inkscape with TechDraw output

The <use> element is super handy and allows referencing external svg files, but it requires an identifier within the target svg. Can we add an id tag to the output from techdraw to allow this to work as is currently possible with the old drawing wb? I posted about this very effiecient workflow which...

Move Face (cube remains parametric)

Parametric Move Face.gif A bit of a fusion between direct modelling and parametric modelling here... I frequently need to move faces of cubes to line up with other faces in simple ways (because I like to use part cubes as a base object for multiple sketches). I often found myself taking measurement...

My macro to 'map' one set of objects to another

Sometimes I need to copy the placement and size data of, for instance, one set of cubes to another. I need to do this because I have a series of sketches attached to a 'mother cube', with multiple instances in different sizes and positions (think kitchen units). If I make a big change to the design ...
