I'm glad I found this, one of the models i have been designing was scuffed because my alignment was off.

Very useful. I was literally doing something in TinkerCAD a few minutes ago that could've benefited from this.

I really wish I would have known that earlier. :-( Thank you so much for that tip, it will definitely come in handy at a later time!

[@donburkholder8850]

Thanks Chep, hard to believe that i am using TinkerCad and have Fusion360 Installed , This afternoon after i came back from my Dentist i had to lay down and take a napp , i dreamed how to make a Sun Blind for my JVC Everio Display to just slide on when in use :-))

[@AngelMartinez-rh1lf]

I've been trying to align a 10x10x1 box to a 10x10x12 wedge and I can't get the box to match the angle of the wedge. How do I do that?

[@chrisjericho7123]

Another great video. Have you ever tried Fusion 360 , or is this enough for the beginner to design? I learned adobe illustrator about a decade ago and if the holding of this is similar, I think I will be ok.
Can you remind me ( if it's at all true) which video, or just how do you change the increment that you want to move an object? So when I use the arrow keys it goes 1 mm instead of 10 mm or .1 mm, etc. I thought I saw that in one of your videos.

[@chrisjericho7123]

Ah yes, I see it now. Thank you.

[@davidpoon1010]

Are they discontinuing Tinkercad?

[@dmooreca2]

Is there a way to align the center of a circle to the edge of a block?

[@FilamentFriday]

If you put the ruler right at the edge of the block the you can align the circle by adjusting dimensions using midpoint feature of ruler.

[@bullfrogpondshop3179]

This was always so annoying. Great tip!

[@jwc82579]

Son of a bitch.... where was this video last month. Great job Chuck, keep these up. It's becoming my favorite series. And I'd like to see more electronic videos too, not sure if the rest of your audience does too or not, but i think if they do, they should reach out to you on social media.
