Introduction to A2Plus Workbench

FreeCAD is used to design projects, and there are a number of assembly workbenches that will allow you to assemble a complex design from a number of components. We use the A2Plus workbench, and this is a basic introduction that will show you how to:
- Install the workbench
- Import single and multiple components
- What degrees of freedom mean
- Use the PlaneCoincident constraint
- Delete constraints
This video is not a thorough examination of the A2Plus workbench but it will give you enough information to get started using the workbench. Future videos will teach you more about the A2Plus workbench.

Thanks for your feedback Tomas. I'm working on it but my day job often gets in the way. There should be some new content coming in the next few weeks.
