4/14/2024 0 Comments Librecad change line width![]() ![]() In this nice bar we have also horizontal and vertical constraints and the zero positions. Personally I left to layer 0 its default settings and I gave to the layers the following settings as resumed down here: Layer name Color Thickness Line type Sections Blue 0,5 Continuous Dimensions Magenta 0,18 Continuous Hatches Grey 0,13 Continuous Borders Green 0,18 Continuous Axes Red 0,25 Dash dot (small) Down here the interface menu to set the layers, naturally each description is to set the relative parameter: And finally we have set the layers!!! Up to now it has not been too difficult, am I right? CLAUDIO GUARNIERI: Drawing a little mechanical part using LibreCAD of 17ĥ Snaps I know I know, you want draw, but this is really important!!! Let me spend some words! Snaps are particular points that you can use as start points to create an object, as reference for dimensioning and so on, they are important because without them we would entirely type coordinates and coordinates and coordinates and coordinates and coordinates and coordinates, well you know. Ta daa!!! We have a layer list! Fine, when you have the list the highlited layer is the one you are working in, and if you look down here you can see the relative menu, and precisely Show all layers Show/hide relative layer (in this case layer 0) Lock/unlock the near layer Print or do not print the layer objects Layer proprieties Remove a layer Add a layer Hide all layers Remember, the first thing to do, especially in big drawings, is setting the layers, it saves time and sometimes keeps the work readable and understandable. In order to set layers you need to have the layer list window active, if you do not see it just click the right mouse button a free space on the top bar and click with the left mouse button near layer list and. We are not using splines but about units and dimensions look the picture below: CLAUDIO GUARNIERI: Drawing a little mechanical part using LibreCAD of 17Ĥ Well, now we can finally set the layers. First, before set the drawing, the layers and so on, this picture down here represents the drawing that we are about to create, the final result: First go to Edit >Current Drawing Preferences, then set the paper section to A4 landscape, then on grid section select Orthogonal Grid. Have fun! Claudio CLAUDIO GUARNIERI: Drawing a little mechanical part using LibreCAD of 17ģ Getting started Well, we have our program run and we are about to start. ![]() Thanks Rallaz then! Now we can start our little journey in this drawing. ![]() Rallaz of the developers team, that gave me the drawing we are going to replicate, in fact even if I can use this LibreCAD I'm not in mechanics, so I needed something understandable realistic to draw. People used to other cads will find easier to understand the icons' logic. I suggest to people that have no idea about this program works, to spend a little time playing with this nice program, I mean, the menus, the lists (block list and library browser), the command line, the sub-menus, and so on. In this little tutorial then, we are going to draw a little part in order to get people more into LibreCAD. This tutorial is also for people that simply need a quick review about the program's commands. Here I'm using the version 2 of LibreCAD. LibreCAD has not yet a real completed manual, this task has taken in charge by a group of brave men, but you can find some piece of advice into the forum moreover, even LibreCAD has been totally rebuilt, an idea of its use can be found on Qcad manual. ![]() 1 TUTORIAL Drawing a little mechanical part using LibreCAD Tutorial by Claudio Guarnieri CLAUDIO GUARNIERI: Drawing a little mechanical part using LibreCAD of 17Ģ Introduction Hello everyone! This tutorial is a tutorial for beginners and is made mainly for people that are not into LibreCAD, with the aim to help them to familiarize with it and to have the opportunity to create immediately something reasonably productive. ![]()
