I've been enjoying improvements to the #FreeCAD TechDraw workbench while using the 1.1dev builds. This video is a nice summary, and it includes some improvements I didn't previously learn about about while making drawings to support my machining hobby. 😀

Screen shot of a basic case with no integrated paddles at all. The case is rendered transparent in order to show the internal display frame and the base, as well as some of the internal structure.

Screen shot that is like the other image, except that the case is the version with the default integrated paddles as shipped by QRP Labs.
