[@bicicogito989]

You expressed concise clarity, a nice tutorial pace, and the graphics/screen was spot on! Thank you. Must look at your other offerings as well. Subscribed and activated notifications. Thank you!

[@JayAnAm]

Thx a lot! Great you liked it.

[@saadyoussef9766]

Thank you so much for your clarity and concise tutorial

[@headgasket_]

I hope FreeCAD grows tremendously in the community and hats off to people like you. thank you for making these tutorials.

[@coopergoff]

This is the single most helpful tutorial I have ever seen. So easy to follow, not too slow, no extra crap.

[@sushilphule]

We want more FreeCAD tutorial Please make a complete series.

[@JayAnAm]

Yes, will do... it is already in a playlist.

[@AlexGiesbrecht-b1f]

Yes please!!

[@leonlester3924]

I've been using Freecad for a while. Your tutorial, so very concise and easy to follow, taught me the M..M..M letter. Great, thanks.

[@Rottensparrow]

doesn't work for me M

[@georgegpodipara8350]

I like your teaching style. Small bite-sized videos with clear instructions that are easy to follow along.

[@justinf1343]

Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial. I am new to FreeCAD and I find it really helpful.

[@JayAnAm]

Hey thats great

[@AlexGiesbrecht-b1f]

Instant subscription. Amazing videos so far. Cannot wait to keep learning more!

[@DennisJHarrisonJrHere]

wow, I'm really impressed with how far FreeCAD has come in the last 2 years! Thank you very much for this. PS, your constraining techniques are well developed and I learned some neat tricks watching this video :)

[@Super-Duper_Space_Goat]

By far the best and easiest sketching tutorial I have ever seen!

[@jonstar4420]

Fantastic. I've been trying to create this type of shape to a pad for 3 weeks . Trying to join 2 circles together with an arc. Your select Polyline followed by M,M,M is a cad changer. Great work. Can't wait to try my other ideas......................

[@Zhisaoka]

Thank you so much. Just a nice straight forward tutorial with a calming voice.

[@sinpwnzorz]

Bro I have ADHD and been watching cad tutorials unsuccessfully for like 15 years and I loved this video. (I like to skip ahead so often it's not the tutorials fault). But you've explained everything perfectly. I love that when I looked over (2 monitors) at the right click you labeled what it did as a deselect tool thats SUPER HELPFUL I LOVE IT. Even the little clicks and stuff nothing was missed, tempo was good. I'm subscribed.

[@JIN-TECH]

Requesting more FreeCAD tutorials

[@JayAnAm]

More to come! :-)

[@anthonygauthier7360]

Jayanam you have no idea how much I love your part design tutorials. I wish to all of the gods that you release more! Thank you so much man.

[@lukesmith9033]

I have struggles with freecad over constraining everything. It can be frustrating but it’s obvious that freecad has a lot of potential. Great video!!!

[@friedmule5403]

This is the first vide of yours I have seen, but alone judged by this is you a great teacher, have a great pace and a voice that simply is a joy listening to!! Thanks for sharing! :-)

[@WobblycogsUk]

Very well explained. Good pace, good attention to detail in telling us what you are doing. I would definitely watch more FreeCAD tutorials.

[@JayAnAm]

Alright. I was listening to u guys 🙂

[@trinitrotoluene3D]

I understand the basics now and I knew nothing about the parametric workflow before (coming from Blender) Thanks dude

[@sadicus]

So glad to see you making tutorials for this. I've always been interested in FreeCAD.

[@JayAnAm]

You are very welcome

[@sirskeptic]

I'm new to FreeCad - but that was the clearest example I've seen so far. Thank you.

[@samarwood3969]

Very helpful for a new user to FreeCAD. Thank you.

[@GeneralHowToTutorials]

Like the Keralis of FreeCAD. I love your speech pattern. Great tutorial.

[@themikeflanders3470]

I just found your KZbin page. Great content! I hope you post more FreeCAD Tutorials.

[@JayAnAm]

Hey, thank you

[@onetwo9646]

Thank you, just another perfect tutorial of yours at the right pace

[@robertoviana514]

well done and most importantly well focused.

[@stever3886]

Been drawing with FreeCAD for a few months ……never saw the poly to arc trick. Very very good starter video. Great voice, pace, content so as not to over whelm the new user. I would like to see a better mouse symbol on screen …not easy to follow the current one. And on all fairness you may already

[@m92singh]

Thank you so much, I just wanted to get started, have some background knowledge from past, just learning to use free cad, super, clean, intuitive, easy to follow tutorial and gets me up to highway speed with all the range of tools you used!

[@samad419]

guys explains everything nicely, thank you.

[@hassanalshekha1994]

Thank you for these amazing simplified helpful videos.

[@JayAnAm]

Thx, glad you like it

[@jorgecaostalwart]

that was quick and undertandable

[@johnskrovoza]

Excellent tutorial. Just one thing that might help Mac users. at 1:42 he says to "click" to create and complete the circle. I found that clicking did not work to start and complete the circle, but shift-clicking did. So this is minor but I thought I'd mention it in case anybody gets stuck with their particular system and/or mouse.

[@danielvaega]

Great,m easy to follow, very informative. Thanks mate

[@GarethIzCool]

This was so helpful today. Thank you!

[@dimitrilalushi4693]

Very useful tutorials. Thanks!

[@hansdampf3172]

Great explanation for beginners like me. Everything was understandable very well.

[@mikecurley2072]

Wonderful tutorial. I’m interested in working with FreeCad and your tutorials for beginners are excellent .

[@ManiekGSF]

You are great ! More video with freecad my friend please !! cheers from Poland !!

[@electronicscaos]

I guess I know why people consider you a bit too fast... It was because of the first video of the series, it was hard for anyone cutting the teeth on FreeCAD (me included) to understand. But now, after some training in the tool, it's nice to watch some fast shot tutorials. Anyway thanks to you my company is using only FreeCAD as 3D CAD, because I never actually modelled in 3D and was wonderful to start by a freedom oriented tool! Thanks a lot!!!

[@davidchadwick1892]

you make it look so simple ! many thanks

[@thomashvnmusic]

OMG, your tutorials are so good. Thanks a ton!!!

[@timandrew4515]

great learning how to connect shapes and constrain with a tangent constraint. I'd have liked to see how you constrain the arcs and make them symmetrical.

[@BurkenProductions]

Great tutorial. This is way easy. Much better than that other cad software shit.

[@derekdearborn9063]

You are a gawdamn hero. Keep at it

[@JayAnAm]

Wow, thx

[@lestat143]

Well understood by me, thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks again! I had to toggle the "Auto constraint" checkbox to make that function active.

Amazing and simple!

[@eddied.dragon550]

That is a really good Tutorial, it would have been nice if you could have shown how to insert dimensions in the sketch but that is a minor complaint. overall a really good tutorial. Good quality sound, nice pace, you have shown where to click and where to find things really well. I will definitly watch more

[@TomLeg]

Good explanation - need more videos :-)

[@JayAnAm]

Thank you, yes, in the making!

fantastic. thank you

Nice class..will try it in the software 😉😁👍

[@JayAnAm]

Alright, have fun.

[@benpracht2655]

I've now done 3 of your tutorials. I'm trying to overdesign a simple wood working item. Could you do a video on building say two independent parts and joining them together? For example, a US 2x4 cut to 800cm joined perpendicularly to another 2x4 cut to say 400cm? I'd like to see how all my parts need to be independently cut, then plan how they go together.

[@JayAnAm]

Yes I can; I have an assembly workbench video on my list

[@benpracht2655]

@@JayAnAm Also helpful is knowing the key plus mouse click combination you do. The curve was hard to figure out, but in the video you just looked at it and it did what you wanted. 😊. Thanks again, I know this is time you could have spent doing something else.

[@Ormsby504]

Another great tutorial. Many thanks. I dont see your patreon link?

[@stever3886]

Really nice job Especially with mouse button manipulation. Maybe you could mention which mouse mode setting you are using and the type of mouse. Do you use a professional cad trackball? I just want to set my setting like yours and get the same response. Thank you.

[@JayAnAm]

Hi and thx, I am using the Blender option for navigation and I use a normal mouse with a scroll wheel.

[@dchristensen777]

Thanks!

[@mohddinie705]

very good

[@e28biased]

Thanks! To all those viewing, it is important to note, it's good (critical) practice to locate your sketch to the orgin/plane. Leaving your sketch "floating" is poor cad hygeine. 😊

Amazing :D All what I(noob) need :D

[@seanburst564]

I'm unable to resize and reshape like you've shown and my settings are the same as you've shown. What am I suppose to do exactly?

[@joepuente666]

Do you have a video where you render it to print on a 3d printer?

[@ManiekGSF]

how too add text on the round shape or on the box for example ???

great tutorial. And not too fast by the way :)

how do you take a dimension inside a sketch just for reference?

Again 👍🏼 (Im new for freecad)

Hello, how can I change the angle on something? I have a small motor mount with a 90 degree angle and I want to change the angle of the 90 degree by 4 degrees can this be done or do I have to create a whole new motor mount where I create the 4 degrees?

Welcome

[@Haselreiser]

Ist there an easy Connection to Blender for a better shading and printing of these constructed objects ? Sry If the question is stupid, i am beginner.

[@JayAnAm]

For printing you could just export the model to STL format for instance and then import it to your slicer app.

[@Haselreiser]

@@JayAnAm thx. And pls Go on with your good Work.

[@JayAnAm]

@@Haselreiser :-) Will do

[@sergiomissaglia6380]

2:20 I don't understand the constraint part, it doesn't work for me and I'm on 0.20.2

[@sam5992]

I have to ctrl + click for all these things to work

[@akisvlissidis5129]

Excelent Tuorial

[@Rottensparrow]

What do you mean press M 3 times? It simply doesn't work

[@stustockwell]

Way too much mumbling, too many shortcuts with zero explanations.
