Hello Friends welcome to FreeCAD tutorial and in this tutorial we will learn How to Place Multiview in FreeCAD. In FreeCAD we can insert a view with the help insert view option but this option does keep link with parent view. 

In FreeCAD, creating a “multi-view” drawing typically refers to generating multiple orthographic projections (like front, top, and side views) of your 3D model on a 2D drawing sheet. This is primarily done using the TechDraw Workbench, which is the modern and recommended tool for technical drawings in FreeCAD.

💡 Key Features and Tips-:
  • Linked Views: All views in a projection group remain linked to the original 3D model. If you update the 3D model, the drawing views can be updated to reflect the changes.

  • Quick View Selection: You can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly check standard views of your model while working. Pressing number keys 1 to 6 will give you standard views like Front, Top, and Right, which can help you decide which views to include in your drawing.
