You make it look so easy. It took me a week to finally make a functional bolt in FreeCad. Thanks for making these videos, or I probably would of given up on FreeCad. But now that I'm starting to get some of the basics down it's accelerating my interest in learning more about FreeCad.
So glad that these are helping. Getting over that initial first couple of models is the hardest. Once you get the momentum going and start using and understand how to apply the operations it gets a lot easier.
Which method to use may be decided by engineering specs. Getting Freecad to generate specific dimensions can be challenging. A full explanation of construction line techniques including the ability to toggle construction lines into functional lines. Cudo's to the development team for the improved line length & angle display.
Firstly - THANK YOU! Is there any way/trick to use "create external geometry" when working with/on datum planes? Imagine the centre of the circle you've created at 11:48 needs to be exactly XX mm from the outer edge.
At15:20 you change the Attachement Offset in x-direction, but (that's my view of things), the circle moves in y-direction. I noticed this quite often, especially when repositoning sketches, the direction of movement or axis of rotation has nothing to do with the orientation of the global axis. Can we somehow visualize the local axis, in case that might have a orientation different from the global axis, or is there a general definition or explanation how to find the actual oritation of the sketch we want to move? Thanks.
That take away !, use a line to fasten a sketch on is super trick stuff ! TY 💋
Like to drop these little tips in here and there as I go :) Hope you find it helpful :)

it saves my day. Thank you!
You're welcome 😊😊😊
I was so hoping you could create a curved sketch, ran into that problem a couple days ago.
Great video. This is specially useful while designing tanks and placing nozzles on the circumference.
Glad it was helpful and thank you for adding what your using it for. Great to link this to real world usage.
Thanks Darren, greetings from PT!
My pleasure 😊

Hey can you please make a video about text on a cup, i realle struggle at that point, THANKS in advance from an old grumpy DANE

What about, for example, you wanted to apply the FreeCad logo into the surface of a sphere?
