how do you add dimensions in openoffice drawing

You could now PDF your drawing and e-mail it to a client, or better yet, do your entire sheet Title Block, Notes and Drawing name in Libre Office/Open office, and then PDF it.

Also one could take the rendered output image and importing it into the free open source Libre Office Draw or Open Office Draw programs, select the sheet size you want, remove the margins in Format Page, then insert the image onto your sheet, dragging the corners if necessary to make it snap perfectly onto your sheet. I do not know why a dimension sheet would not be framed perfectly (as it was previously), and it cannot be framed perfectly in the new version, but I suspect that there has been some minute corruption of the scale in Blender's Orthographic Camera, as I've double checked the metric conversions and it should frame perfectly in Ortho, but it no longer does.Ĭonsidering that, one might consider outputting the file anyway (it's very close) but I personally would call it N.T.S. I previously recommended a method of using the Orthographic camera, setting the rotation to 0 degrees on every axis, creating a 'dimension sheet' mesh plane the size of the paper you were going to print it on and adjusting the Orthographic scale until it frames the 'dimension sheet', then if assuming a render resolution of 150 DPI, one would multiply the paper dimension (let's say width was 8.5') 8.5 x 150 = 1275 pixels by (length 11')ġ1 x 150=1650 pixels and make that the render window size (1275 pixels by 1650 pixels), then output the render, HOWEVER, I see in Blender 2.91 that the original Orthographic Scale I recommended previously (0.279) no longer frames the 'dimension sheet' perfectly.
