This step is for generating PDF files for printing, with 2D CAD documentation (sections, elevations, etc) with FreeCAD. The idea is to work with these 2D drawings in a new and independent FreeCAD file (independent from the 3D models file) that is very light and can be shared easily. The workflow involves the use of [https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Draft_Module Draft workbench] and [https://wiki.freecadweb.org/TechDraw_Module TechDraw workbench]. | This step is for generating PDF files for printing, with 2D CAD documentation (sections, elevations, etc) with FreeCAD.
