as you can see that in a tech draw workbench there is a not very straightforward way to add the surface roughness symbol like a software  like SolidWorks. but in FreeCAD  there are some different way to do this so we will learn how we can do it so first you have to search for the SVG symbol on Google so here I wanted to use the Ra 3.2 for my part.

 it is a  SVG file of RA 3.2 which is from the Wikimedia so it is a free and open source so you can use it save this image if you want to make changes to SVG file you can use inscape software.  Techdraw workbench you will see a option called insert SVG symbol.
