Matt, thanks for your efforts in putting these videos together. I'm having a problem finding the sequencing of the LibreCAD videos. When I look at the LibreCAD playlist, I see videos numbered 26, 56, 60, 97, 98, 99,... and I know i'm missing some of the earlier ones to follow the introductor video #26. Any ideas on how I can get the missing ones?
Hi Richard. Thanks for this question and I can see now how I confused you. The numbers used in the title of each video indicate the order in which I created the video since I started my channel back in May of 2017. If you click on the "videos" tab on my channel home page, you'll see all of the videos I've made in numerical order. Video #1 was the first video I did, #2 the 2nd, and so on. If you scroll quickly through the "videos" page, you can quickly see what the topic is for each video from the thumbnail and title. Now, back to your question: when you look at my LibreCAD playlist, you will find all of the videos that show LibreCAD being used or mentioned. So video #26 (the 1st video in the playlist) is the 1st video I did about LibreCAD. Then many videos later, I recorder video #56 about LibreCAD and it is the 2nd video listed in the playlist. I hope this makes sense. I use the numbers in my video titles to show the order in which I created the video. If you started with video #1 and watched them in order (#1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...) you'd see the order in which I made them and also get a better (hopefully) sense of my "making" journey. Thanks for your question and for watching.
You're welcome! Be sure to check out my LibreCAD playlist for more videos. Here's a link for your convenience: ruclips.net/p/PLGCBwUeR2BD2ypYi5k0c4p6M52YO8Z-WD Thanks for your comment and for watching.
I'm not sure I understand your question. As a suggestion, consider drawing using layers that way you can separate "like" items by layer. Hope this helps.
@@ImaginethenMake thanks for reply. Indeed , I tried that but it does not work for the action of moving. If I draw 3 lines and then I move them, once I do either ctr-z or "undo" , what the program does is to undo the last line I drew, but it does not undo the action of "moving" . :(
Yes, I have found that sometimes you need to be creative to get the result you want. What I would do is make a new layer and put some construction lines on it that you can snap to later with your finish lines. If the design changes, I would draw new construction lines rather than trying to move the existing ones (draw new and delete old). With new construction lines, you can move your other lines by snaping. If that is too much trouble, you could simply redraw the lines that you moved and delete the ones you don't want. LibreCAD is very powerful but I find it is kind of dated with how to edit existing entities. Often times I find it easier (faster) just to redraw the entity and delete the original version. This is different than in more modern CAD systems where you simply select and drag to the new location. One other thing that I often do is save different versions of my drawing under a new name. For years now, my file names begin with a date and then a name. For example: "2020-07-13 gizmo design". When I want to save a new version, I do a "save as" and just change the date. This way, when I look at the list of files for the design project in File Explorer (Windows 10), they are all listed in chronological order. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the kind words. If you ever decide to try and learn to draw in 3D, I recommend SketchUp (free). I have some tutorials you might enjoy starting with #66. Here's a link for your convenience: ruclips.net/video/IJOuZJqckLo/видео.html . These tutorials are for the browser based version of SketchUp. If you prefer to download it, I believe you can still get SketchUp Make 2017 (free). Here's a link: help.sketchup.com/en/downloading-older-versions . I prefer SketchUp Make 2017 because there are many more features than in the browser version but it is still free. Hope this was helpful and not too much information.

Thanks for amazing content
You're welcome. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
Is It possible to Sslect from a Range of TYPES; for POINT ? [And it's size governed by TEXT SZ?]

Thanks for the video, do you know how to undo or reverse it ? I mean, If I move an entity how I can reverse or undo that action?
Did you try Edit > Undo (Ctrl-z)? Thanks for your question and for watching.
