Good job. Appreciate this video. I am working with circles, and you showed me the basics. Great. I wanted to tip you but only feel comfortable with PayPal.
If the "path line" is an arc, there's an inconsistency between constraining the holes to the construction circles by tangency verses points on the path line. As the radius of the path line decreases, this difference in distance between the circles is magnified. This brings up another question I have had for awhile. There does not seem to be an easy way to constrain an arc length. You can constrain two arc lengths to be the same with a bunch of construction geometry, but you can't seem to enter a numeric constraint (at least not without using formulas).
Awesome video! I've been trying to figure out how to place four mounting holes in a mounting plate, which has a bolt circle diameter of 142.5mm through the center of all four corner holes. This video has helped me understand the process better. So would I just create a construction circle of 142.5mm and place the center of each mounting hole on each corner of the construction circle's quadrant?
A very clever technique. I must appreciate it.

Glad you enjoyed, and thank you for the tip, all came through, much appreciated 😊👍👍👍

I use construction lines normal to the circles. I'll have to see how it compares to the construction circle method.
👍👏
OK. VERY INTERESTING. BUT I HOPED THERE WAS A WAY TO INRODUCING A FORMULA HOW (D+D1)/2+K ON SOME PLACE IN FREECAD. BYE
