Use Plans to Sketch Easily in FreeCAD 0.21
I found out how using a plan (image) makes it much easier to sketch in FreeCAD compared to sketching by looking at the plan.

Thank You ... I am just at the first steps on CAD drawings and I am so excited about it ... I was working with Free version of Fusion 360 until it was NO MORE Free 😭so I am a familiarized with some common commands and being used to draw in that OLD fashion way - technical drawing in sketch on tracing paper, so what you show us here is "Gold: for me .... Thank You again and Please Don't Stop here and keep us on a loop with what ever you do ... Have a Great Day ...

Thank you. I was also using fusion 360. FreeCAD is a better alternative with similar capabilities for people like you and me and many more.
i AM very excited about this. For beginners, it is a genius workflow!!
Brilliant! Thank you.
Absolutely Fantastic Idea. Lots of CAD draft files can be exported to an image and you can speedily reconstruct a 3d object without having to even measure the dimensions with a vernier from an existing object which could anyway be inaccurate depending on tolerances !

The ease in sketching makes it easy. And accuracy can be achieved by minimal dimensions.
Great idea!
Thank you! ❤
nice
Hello Sir. I can not reproduce the first 20 seconds of this video. I have the same version 0.21, start on the Part WorkBench, import a .png image. This works but FreeCAD makes a new document from this image, rather then to make a new object in the current 'Unnamed' document What am i doing wrong? Thanks for a reply. Jean

Try dragging and dropping the image file on the FreeCAD window. Drag-and-drop also works as I show in Practice-26 video of the beginner's test series.

@@kattkushol I have tried this also but freecad keeps creating a new document instead of adding the image to the treeview. Now i downloaded the real 0.21 version, where the image WorkBench is gone, and then importing the image works as in your video's. Thanks for the reply. Jean
