btw, I've seen too many 45min Youtube videos which could be summarised with a good diagram to be a fan. Dimensioning, moving and mirroring seem archaic by comparison but I agree they do work and allow for calculated dimension line spacing. My experience is with labelling in mapping packages rather than dimensioning in drafting package. The diameter is more useful than the radius on the Side view.Ī reference to dimensioning rules would be useful. Maybe someone else can jump in with an idea how to better dimension two small entities with the same central point (ie Side view hole and outer curve diameter and Front view inside and outside radius. Similar for the 44mm height in the Side view. How would you label the layout lines in the revised attached drawing? I also understand it is bad practice to dimension off hidden lines but that is exactly what those layout lines are as they extend off the tangent to the circle to a square edge. Is the axis in the holes really drawn as a vertical and horizontal line trimmed with some arbitrarily sized circle?Ĭalculating the layout lines was the whole reason for drafting it. I'm not clear how to adjust the dimension lines at the bottom of the Front bracket or extend the one to the Top hole. I mirrored it then followed your advice with the dimensions. * The external measurements in the side view are required for layout I appreciate the help and the result is much more like I was after. * any comments on line type and how to draw for centre of circle in example above welcomeīracket-mirrored.pdf Thank you for your reply. * show internal and external radius on Front * show half circle dimension for top of Side which goes through same centre as hole * show 12.5mm circle diameter dimensions outside circles (like user manual example) * how to adjust the spacing between existing parallel dimension lines from 10mm to say 7mm without deleting them and starting again (move is tedious) * best way to evenly space parallel dimension lines (I snap to grid) I'd like to tidy the drawing up and squeeze it vertically to fit nicely on an A4 sheet from my printer. The external measurements in the side elevation are required for layout. It was drawn with the origin at the bottom right of the side elevation to work from the nice right-angle then mirrored to the best of LibreCAD's ability. This project is a bracket made out of 4mm steel to be cut out with hand tools. YouTube Video: Topics include how to configure the interface to make 3D pieces using our drawings in LibreCAD, how to make personalized hash, and how to add new fonts to our drawings.I'm trying to improve my dimensioning skills and the User Guide for Dimensioning is a big help but I still can't get the finish I'm after. YouTube Video Playlist: Multiple YouTube video tutorials. Spline tutorial 2: Part 2 of Spline tutorial This is in a certain way, a simple topic, so, to whom that never used LibreCAD I suggest to get familiar with the basic commands, like “draw points, draw lines, draw polylines, move/copy”. I personally do not use splines, because I never had to, yet here I am in order to clear some doubt, at least I hope so in this tutorial will be used the 2.0.3 version of LibreCad. Spline tutorial 1: This tutorial has been written in order to give a piece of advice in using the splines command and its options. It introduces quite a few LibreCAD concepts, and links to other pages that explain these. It assumes that you have installed LibreCAD and have opened it to a new default blank drawing. Starting_to_draw: This page presents a simple sequence of creating a basic drawing, from a blank document to a printed design. Also please make a note of the version of LibreCAD used.

Compared to most other CAD software, LibreCAD is relatively easy to use and has. YouTube Video: Topics include how to configure the interface to make 3D pieces using our drawings in LibreCAD, how to make personalized hash, and how to add new fonts to our drawings. Drawing a carport truss or a circuit boardįeel free to add a link, whether it within this wiki, a video hosted elsewhere or other, to your tutorial along with a brief description. LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. A tutorial doesn’t require a full understanding of the commands used, but provides sufficient detail to allow the user to complete the drawing.Į.g. Tutorials supplement the user manual (link to follow as it is currently being updated). Tutorials provide step by step examples on how to create drawings for a specific purpose.
