Downloading the required product from the developers site using the official link provided by the developer to progeCAD 2008 Smart below was possible when we last checked. about FreeCAD' data so we know which FreeCAD o/s etc. progeCAD 2008 Smart Download Download progeCAD 2008 Smart Thank you for using our software portal. The most common work flow in FreeCAD is to create the 'real' 3D solid and then go to the Drawing workbench (note 'Drawing' not 'Draft') and extract a 2d drawing from the 3D solid.Īlso please always post your 'Help menu.

Regarding 2D CAD, you can do this in the Draft Workbench, but really the Draft objects are 3D. STEP and IGES should work better also with various limitations. So if at all possible avoid these formats. DXF is suposedly an interchange format but AutoCAD keeps the solids embedded in dxf as propitiatory. AutoCAD have deliberately made life as difficult as possible in the past with DXF and their DWG is a propitiatory format. Most of the examples of DWG files that I have personally tried to import have failed. This is done via a plug-in which works by first converting dwg to dxf and then importing the dxf file into FreeCAD. It will often work for simple things, but will fail with DWG files that contain more than basic dxf type content files. dxf files ?ĢD DWG and DXF can be imported/exported with various limitations including no solids. However, I am still producing 2d architectural drawings for permits and contracts.Ĭan freeCAD do either or both of these functions efficiently ? Also, can I import.
