I can see this is going to be a valuable series. Even when you think you know all there is to know, it's good to start fresh again. It also looks like as Freecad is getting tuned up and closer to the 1.0 release, it's getting faster and smoother. I've been keeping an eye on freecad for several years, and it's finally getting the attention it deserves! Thanks for the excellent videos!

Great series. I haven't used FreeCAD in a while so this is a great way to jump back in. Thank you for sharing! Joe

[@MangoJellySolutions]

Nice to see your return 😊 Glad you're enjoying.

Thanks again, Mango Jelly. You are helping me lay a solid groundwork for understanding FreeCAD.

[@garyl6031]

I am loving this!

[@vladimirastrelin1719]

Thank you, Sir ! Another great and useful lesson. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with the community.

[@MangoJellySolutions]

Your welcome 😊😊👍👍

Thanks, for the updates, I was wondering, have the other tutorials of versions 0.20 and 0.21 because outdated or are they still useful to learn FreeCad?

[@MangoJellySolutions]

No not at all you be pleased to hear, it's one of the things I am going over in the introduction video when I create it. I have actually future proofed those exercises somewhat as I have used traditional CAD practices that are used in all CAD packages in regards to the topological naming issue. Now freecad has put work in to fix that area rather than the user using workarounds the videos are even more relevant in that area. There will be some differences in the sketcher as new tools available that makes life easier but the workflows are all the same 😊 I didn't create the introduction video on purpose as I wanted to see people's questions in the comments so I can include some of those in the intro.

[@justRD1]

any idea if the path workbench has been upgraded at all?

[@MangoJellySolutions]

Yes I believe Brad C is working on it, beware it's now been renamed to CAM.

[@patrikleuzinger8379]

we have video #2 #3 #4, where is #1?

[@MangoJellySolutions]

I am working on #1 as that will be a introduction and installation. I need to get some videos from the series done first so I can add some snips. And also answer questions regarding the series that have come up in the comments. On the community tab of my channel there is a post regarding the series for now and a general weekly builds installation video within the playlist.
