Fairly new to FreeCad, but have used Turbocad in the past. Your 'Using' videos are great! Thank You for taking the time to put them together, and upload them to You Tube!
Switches the selected constrains or the view (if none of the constrains are selected) to the other virtual space. Just thinking... So, this actually means that you can use 2 virtual spaces to develop your design, and have slight variants of your sketch in each of the virtual spaces, so you can easily compare them. You use this button to transfer your constrains to the other virtual space, or to simply switch the view to the other virtual space. How convenient. BTW Thanks for the video!
Pretty cool tips, thank you! (Also, look at you with your working 'take picture' function. It's been broken for me for several years across multiple versions, including 0.18.4.)
You mention not being able to see thumbnails in the file open dialog (3'33"). In the top right there is an icon to switch the file dialog from list view to thumbnail view (a button with a 4-square icon). This shows the thumbnail as expected (on my system at least).
@@sliptonic Ah, pity, though hopefully helpful tip to try out for others who happen across this comment. Yes same Alex who did the icons, way back in v0.17! I see lots of new icons that stick to the guidelines, glad it was helpful.
It was huge! I still think that effort was a great example of how to tackle visual stuff like that. You should stop by the forum some time. I'm sure there's a million things that could use your skills :-D
Sketcher isn't my area of development. I don't know that code at all. But please comment on the forum. Or better yet, implement it and send a pull request. This is open-source software. Anyone can play!
Hello sir. I am a cnc water jet operator, and recently downloaded Freecad to expand my career abilities. I am trying to go through the path workbench to use my cnc router and I must be missing a step or doing something wrong, every time I open candle ( my gcode sender for my grbl powered machine) and try to run what I’ve designed, it goes off the peice of wood I have zeroed on and out of bounds. I have watched your path tutorials and greatly appreciate all you do for freecad and it’s community. Any input or help will be greatly appreciated (edit- I am using version .19 of freecad)
It's hard to say for sure what's going on. I would start simpler. Make a 100mm square cube. Set up your job with the origin on one corner. Add a profile operation and make it cut 'on' the line. Then post process it and examine the code. The gcode is easy enough to read and it'll give you a starting point to debug.
Hello @sliptonic and many thanks for your useful videos. I wanna ask you one thing. I have tried to put my original measurements what I have been constructing manually into my FreeCAD 0.18 sketch, but somehow I was not able to do that. For example, my apparatus contains L: 2.500mm, W: 1.000mm and one cube (500x200x200 mm), any tips on how to fit those measurements into the sketch and put them into page-template. Thank you in advance! :)
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. You should be able to enter those dimensions directly into a sketch constraint. Make sure to enter the unit string as well. For example enter '2.5 mm' not just '2.5'. Sorry if I'm misunderstaning. RUclips comments sucks for this kind of thing. Best to post on the forum where you can attach pictures.
@@sliptonic Could you please share the link of your forum? I understood your example, but what if the measurements are more than 1000mm in actual case? Thank you and sorry for misunderstandings in previous section!

Thanks, Brad! High quality content as always!

pro tips on sketcher? Please do so!

Appears to be window manager dependent. Doesn't work on my linux (i3/xfce) config.
Are you the same Alex Gryson who worked on our icons?

@@sliptonic Lol, thanks, will do, especially now that I have a CNC I'll have to pick your brains on the Path workbench ;-)
Thank you for the tips.
Sketcher has tool for fillet but not Chamfer.
Can show easy way to chamfer rectangle in sketch.
Sketcher isn't my area of development. I don't know that code at all. But please comment on the forum. Or better yet, implement it and send a pull request. This is open-source software. Anyone can play!
New Chamfer tool added here is a quick tutorial for it.

Great. Thanks
Is there any way, in a sketch, when you select one element (say, a vertex), go to all constraints involving that element?
I don't know about a vertex but you can do it for an edge. There's a tool for that. Try Ctrl+Shift+C.
Thank you! This is very useful already. Too bad it doesn't work for vertexes. My worst gripes involves them.
