A very helpful video, especially because there aren't a lot of videos explaining this aspect of customizing the TechDraw Workbench. Thanks!

Last note delete the xml:space - preserve. This is added by Inkscape. This should put characters back on highlighted squares. Save this to desktop, then admin move it into C:\Program Files\FreeCAD\data\Mod\TechDraw\Templates.

It's been a while since I've looked at it but it sound like you're missing this bit (from the video description) The TechDraw workbench uses an XML namespace to draw the editable text fields on the screen. You need to create an attribute on the SVG tag called xmlns:freecad and set it value to: "www.freecadweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=Svg_Namespace"

Inkscape keeps putting in transforms and then when loaded into FreeCAD all the text is in the wrong place. I've tried deleting them, using converters from pdf to svg, etc. etc. etc. Nothing fixes this issue.

Thanks for your feedback. I haven't revisited this since I published the video because I haven't changed my template. I don't have a solution to your problem unfortunately. I know I talked about it in either this video or the one about modifying a template, but perhaps changes in Inkscape and/or FreeCAD prevent it from working.

Thanks a lot mate. It's working just fine. I'm only having a problem with alignment. The green boxes are shifting the text to the right of the page. That is also happening in this video. Have you found a way to work around this? It'd be nice to deactivate that somehow.

I've figured out why. Just in case anyone else is having this issue. Delete the xmlattribute in inkscape for all text elements with the value of "preserve". Otherwise you can change the value to "default". The rest of this video works fine. However, double check the xmlns:freecad url is correct as well.

I'm trying to add the xmlns:freecad attribute. I've entered the url as described in the description but nothing happened. I've noticed it needs a little more information. Does anyone know what I need to add to the end of this url.

@Steve Pawinski I've been trying to replicate this but so far have not had any success. The xmlns:freecad attribute should only require the URL and nothing else. Do you recall what other information it was looking for?

I had problems getting the URL to work. I opened the .svg file with a text editor and added it in the code.
