Nice video. Couple questions. Is it easy to go back to the 2D sketch mode after making the object 3D? Say for instance to resize the holes bigger, or add more to the 2D design? Once I go to 3D after pulling some sides, I don't see how to go back to just that 2D view. In other programs like Autodesk Fusion 360, and Onshape when I am in 2D and I have dimension annotations in that 2D sketch view, I can click and edit the dimension and the design changes to that new length, diameter, etc. In Design spark it just seems to change the annotation but not the actual dimension of the line or whatever. I am pretty newb when it comes to mechanical stuff, so I apologize if these are dumb questions
I'm not sure what you mean "copy a design" - if you are wanting to mirror an entire design, DesignSpark does not have a true mirror function unless you buy the corporate/enterprise version. Interesting thing is that the mirror is just about the only thing the upgraded version gets you (that I can tell).
DesignSpark Mechanical is mostly for mechanical drawings (CAD drawings). If you are wanting to create 3D sculptures, it is not good. Thanks for watching!

I have been trying to put together a video to detail the answer to this question. Life is totally getting in the way these days. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your video; great you took the time to explain, very nice. Can you tell me how to copy a design without using mirroring to start with?

Thanks for the great tutorial! As a beginner this has been extremely helpful
You're welcome. Let me know if you want to see specific DesignSpark videos. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for this explanation, I am a new user it is very educational.
You are welcome. More DesignSpark videos on the way. Thanks for watching and being part of the conversation.
Can you make drawing with this software

Great explanation of these concepts, very easy to understand! Please make some more with more complex designs. THANKS
Working on it. Thanks for watching!
thanks for an easy to understand tutorial, I downloaded my DesignSparks yesterday so will be watching more stuff.
Thanks for watching and being part of the conversation. More DesignSpark videos are on their way!
