    For anyone in 2024 that is seeing this. The Auto Remove Redundants option for constraints can be found under Edit > Preferences > Sketcher > Genera,l it its the first option shown. Also, the grid can be turned on from the top right corner by clicking the grid like looking icon, hope this is useful!

      Technically it is "corporate greed", but I don't hold it against them to want to make money. The ARE a corporation, so profit is a thing by definition. To expect a corporation NOT to make money from their products is kinda stupid and folks should expect that out of the gate.
      What I hold against them is the way they did it.
      If the full free version was a mistake and they should have limited it more from the beginning so free users didn't "abuse" it, then I'm sorry, but any corporate manager should have known what was going to happen on that from the beginning. That is simple stupidity.
      To let it be free for so long that tons of people got used to it, then dramatically neuter usability, is either stupid or shady (I suspect some of both). I'm sure the original premise is that the free version whets the appetite so that users learn to use it, like it, depend on it, then want to buy it. The addiction method.
      Lacking a free version, nobody would know to want it. Makes sense to have one just to encourage exposure. But they could have, should have, and maybe DID know better than to include such functionality in the free version from the start. To change it midstream like this points to a lack of competency OR manipulative marketing. Take your pick - neither one is a good look.
      Even if you didn't use the features they removed, or even didn't use Fusion at all, if you've heard of the debacle, you now think less of Autodesk. Had they limited it from the start in a smart way, folks would love it almost as much and not have a reason to be pissed today.
      I never have liked any software being tied to a subscription and I never will. You can never say never I guess, but I don't ever expect to even explore a single piece of software that I can only rent. Either I own it from the time of purchase, or I'm not interested. So in my view, Autodesk has been on the wrong side of this issue from the time they started it. No thanks.
      Personally, I would rather use FreeCAD or whatever from the start, even IF it were half as good, just because I'm NEVER going to let myself rely on something that can change on a dime at the whim of some corporate board somewhere. Yeah, that just happened. Which leads me to conclude that those that are pissed off at Autodesk for what they've recently done, should instead look into the mirror to see the cause of their current grief. I can grok that lots of folks didn't understand this going in, but they should now. Let this just be a lesson as you move forward. Don't let yourself be placed in such a precarious stance from now on. The subscription paradigm alone should have been enough of a red flag if you were paying attention.

    This is an amazing tutorial, no waffling or superfluous information, gives you the basic information you need as succinctly as possible and assumes the viewer has used a computer before.

    Started out with CAD in general and FreeCAD specifically; the tutorial is nice to follow and I created the object as described. The only thing missing was 'making the body active' in order to add the bevel/chamfer to a face. (Go to model and right-click the body and "toggle active body".

    This is fantastic, thank you so much. One suggestion to make future tutorials even better: Perhaps you could add some highlighter to your mouse cursor. I often found myself having to go back a few seconds to find out exactly what you clicked on. Having a highlighted cursor and ideally some additional highlight for clicks would make this absolutely perfect.

    Thank you for making the video which helps a lot. As a diehard AutoCad user, I must say FreeCAD is quite user unfriendly. Many operations left me scratching my head why it happened or how to correct errors. Even following exactly what the video had shown may not produce the same results. Many were done only by accident or trial and error.

    This might be a good tutorial for someone already familiar with FreeCAD. I've been using parametric CAD programs since the 1990s and recently found the need to design some items for 3D printing so I installed FreeCAD. The way you gloss over or don't mention at all the locations of the functions left me reviewing every click to see were you selected a function. I've worked in Fortune 100 IT for over 20 years so I'm not computer illiterate. The teaching could be better with some attention to detail. Moving on. . .

    The video is in good quality, your voice is loud and clear, no technical mistakes. You provide some valid information about the program. This is a lot, but sadly, everything else is wrong. Consider it as advice.
    You are not telling the keys that you are pressing (and they are not shown on screen).
    You are not telling anything about the program itself - I have no clue where I am, I turned on some weird mode, one of dozens, I don't know what it's for or what for are others, and I don't even know if anyone will tell me this in the future.
    I personally think that video named "for begginers" shouldn't be 6 mins long. I know that some people would get disouraged with several hours long video, but it is paradoxically the fastest way to teach someone the basics, as it gives a solid background for future learning of new features.
    In the end, I'm sorry that I have to tell it (and i don't know if you were aware of what i said), the video presents no value to me, as It probably won't teach me anything usefull

      At first, I felt the same way and was really quite frustrated... If you do what I did, you will find that it is actually quite useful! Watch the vid in full-screen mode so you can get a better view of what is being clicked on or selected. Also, change the speed to 0.75 (or less) and just look for all the progressions without trying to follow the commentary.
      initially, I kept going back over and over again, missing what he had done to reach where he was until I started watching this way. Now, I don't need to keep going back and I'm watching at normal speed.
      Another thing is that there appears to be more than one way to reach the same stage but he follows one such set of steps.

    For anyone following along, I had to press Ctrl and left click on the left side of the box, then the top side of the box, then click the Filet tool. Sometimes it's not obvious how these are being entered.

    per other commenters, you may benefit from a Mouse Halo and loitering over the button for a few seconds so it's easier to follow in realtime.

      @@JayAnAm The example is great but indeed I find myself rewinding over and over to catch the various tools you are selecting. Also for some reason (maybe different version?) my menus are not quite the same as what you have. So spending few more words on what tool you are picking would be VERY helpful. Example: when you closed the sketch, you went to Part Design automatically. For some reason, this did not happen to me and I had to select Part Design manually. A minor inconvenience, but it took me a good 5 minutes to figure out what was going on differently. If you had mentioned that now we should have been in Part Design mode, this would have been a useuful cue. Said this, still very good example to learn from, for someone like me who is coming from Blender.

    I've tried several so called "basics for FreeCAD" and your's is better, but at 1:34 you lost me. I do not have all those tools showing on mine. I've used Fusion 360 for years and love it, but I'd like to have FreeCAD for a back up. Just can't seem to get this FreeCAD to work for me from the start up.
