From there you can create a TechDraw design and add quotes or whatever you need. That will create a single copy of the Top level multi-object you have selected. Unfortunately atm the new Part of PDN and Body don't have an option to obtain a single copy of your STEP objects which I imagine are in a hierarchical structure.Īn option is to install my StepUp WB and use the make Compound button. My end goal is to add a few more parts to the 3D model and produce PDF assembly instructions. I tried to combine body features with the compound options, but i only to get the 'links go out of.' error.

I'm on windows and the latest 0.17 build. Sorry if this questions has already been asked, but i searched the forum and tried to read the manual, and spend quite a lot of hours to resolve this issue. My question: What would normally be the best option to approach this task ? I tried to combine body features with the compund options, but i only to get the 'links go out of.' error. Adding multiple parts I either just get a label saying Multiview or i get an error for the view saying 'Links go out of the allowed scope *but must be executed' I tried with TechDraw and had succes with one body element in a part. I would like to understand the various options i have to project this into a TechDraw or a Drawing to - create some 2D illustrations with measurements. I have received a large STEP file with 50-80 parts, which all loads fine to illustrate the 3D construction.

Now im struggling with a particular issue, which i cannot figure out how to approach. But this really caught me - im having fun. I am not a CAD pro and my last exposure to CAD was 20 years ago with Autocad. I have worked a bit with FreeCAD so understand the basics - and boy a lot has happened during the last 20 years.
