You may want to choose All Future Documents rather than This Document to save some time and headache later.
Once that is open, click Units on the left and then Imperial. See the Yellow marking on the first picture above. The Options are hidden at the bottom of the File menu flyout. You may want to work in Inches – or Imperial Units.
Go here and get the free version for your platform. Maybe I’ll be able to put out some simple examples to allow folks to get going faster if all they want to do is simple drawings for home projects. There are a lot of resources on-line documentation and tutorial videos for DSM, but still I got stuck and had to ask a question on the support forums to get going. I was able to get going pretty rapidly with DSM. There may be plug-ins for that, but that is more learning curve. There is no doubt that FreeCAD, and Blender can do this, but FreeCAD is quirky – at least for me – and Blender has a very high initial learning curve and no dimension tool built in. But the idea is to find something free that’s as easy to get going as possible and allows you to produce drawings with dimensions. I’ve looked at FreeCAD, Blender and a host of others. I’ve done a few hours research over the past few days to figure out a quick to use FREE CAD tool that can be used to draw wood working projects and dimension them to produce drawings for building home projects.Īs you may know from my site, I’m a long time user of 3D Art software including 3DSMax and Carrara. But you can buy extensions where you get more functions what you can use it for your project.īut the problem is that you can only use this program on systems that have Windows installed.Īnd so I got the idea to start this project here to find a way to solve this problem.DesignSpark Mechanical is an Easy to Use CAD tool. DesignSpark Mechanical is a free, downloadable, 3D solid modeling and assembly tool developed in conjunction with SpaceClaim.
