Novice user (retired Pastor, amateur machinist,lifelong tinkerer); Version 0.20.1; HP ENVY 360 laptop; Windows11 I've watched the first 5 of MangoJellySolutions' excellent tutorials and have several years' experience with eMachineshop's CAD-lite (.ems)
I click on Body001 in the Tree View of the attached file, (see screenshot) go to the TD page and click on Insert View and get what you see in the second screenshot. I can't manipulate the blooby image in the TD window except to move it vertically. I can highlight different sections of the image as in the 3rd screen shot.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Re: Can't insert 3D view in TechDraw
It is not clear to me exactly what is not working, but I believe the immediate "blob" problem will be solved if you turn off the frames as explained in the wiki
https://wiki.freecad.org/TechDraw_ToggleFrame
You will need to expand the toolbars to find the frames icon.

Re: Can't insert 3D view in TechDraw
Thank you, Gene. After reading the wiki, I watched the MJS tutorial again. The Toggle Frames On/Off bit went by so fast it took another time before it registered! Also the bit about resizing the reference dots. Sometimes it takes the ink a while to get to the top rollers. Thanks again.

You should not sketch upon face : TNP
You sketches are not perfects.
@Domad : A better TechDraw version ?

Re: Can't insert 3D view in TechDraw
Thank you for your help and suggestions. I know I will learn more about the 'right' way to draw as I progress. I'm still very new at using full-featured CAD software.
