First of all, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time for starting these tutorial series for all of us using the latest version of FreeCad ! and more important; *from the very beginning* This is a very important issue that is almost forgotten nowadays. Everyone takes for granted what in reality not all of us know !. I have been following your channel since a long time ago, so I know your knowledgment on freecad is profound and your way to teach is also very good and clear. I am already subscribed !. I will be one of your most faithful followers. Thank you very much again and big greetings for you from Santiago de Chile, South America. This is John. Cheers !.

Thank you for the video. You are absolutely correct that most videos assume some basic experience in using this style of software. The terminology was different to what i thought it would be. Part in free cad to me is an assembly, and body i would have thought to be called part. No wonder its difficult to start learning this stuff. Maybe i am jumping the gun a bit, but i down loaded the software and then tried following and copying what you had done. it took me a while to move the task window over to the right of the screen. And i was not able to rotate my model with the mouse (scratch pad and button), or scale the drawing up and down. i did however create the drawing (Body). Looking forward to your next video.

I'm a total new guy to CAD. When I do little wood projects, I always have to draw them out to understand what I need to do. I thought doing that with CAD would be an improvement over my pencil sketches. As they say in the online hub, though, it can be a steep learning curve for newbies. But I watched your video on constraints and your clarity is extremely helpful, as is this first in the new series. Looking forward to future releases. Thanks!!

Thanks for this new series. I watched a lot of the previous series, and am still finding parts of FreeCAD confusing, so it's worth starting from the beginning again! I don't think you mentioned making sure you're in the Part Design workbench, as the variety of different options, and different names for similar features in different workbenches, would totally confuse a beginner who ended up in the wrong place!

Nice basic intro to FreeCad. I'm a Mech Eng and use Solidworks at work. Want to move to Opensource for home projects and similar to SW. With V 1.0 dropping this seems like the time. Interesting that FC makes you explicitly use Bodies while SW just kind of makes Bodies automatically in Parts. Keep up the good work, learning these little differences is going to be a big help for me.

TY. Just watched 1&2. I've tried FC and found the UX frustrating. As in hard to even figure out how to draw a line/box... and I have used AutoCAD extensively and F360 a little. So I like that you are going slow on explaining the basics of the FC UI in part 2. Worry less about customizing the UI though and more just explaining the logic of the defaults and how to use it. Personally 'll customize it only after I've figured out how to use it. Please do also explain keyboard shortcuts, I can never figure that out in FC. Finally at the end hope you get to exporting to 3d pritners (easy) and CNC (seems hard). Finally, hope you can put out more videos faster and longer. I'll look a the older videos in the meantime, but eager for more baced on v1.0rc.

I had a project I started in the normal release, nothing too complex, as I am a beginner. I tried it in RC2 and it takes several minutes to import and freezes all the time when navigating. Is there something I missed that I could do to fix/optimize my project without remaking it from the start? Assuming this will be improved in 1.0 final release.
