# New features in FreeCAD

**New features in FreeCAD**

I'll summarize a bit what we've been doing recently. The biggest
feature is the big improvements to the [Drawing
module](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Drawing_Module).
Basically you can now export any 2D view of a 3D Part object, on scale,
on a svg sheet. It is already very powerful, you have total control from
python to the output svg code, so you can tweak, fill, etc.
In the [Draft
module](http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Draft_Module),
we now have dimension objects working well, and they import/export to
dxf format. There is also a first step to implementation of blocks, that
is, you can create compounds objects by joining any type of geometry
with the Upgrade tool, if no "smarter" object can be created. The
downgrade tool will in turn explode compound objects.
