I used. tobe an engineer then. Igot a brain injury. Its been very hard as it gave me. alearning disability and took away my old skills. I cannot express the thanks I have for these videos, your warmth and presence make these enjoyable and the pace is good. I hope to learn to make the ideas I can still see in my head, into reality. Happy new year and thank you kindly.

A good explanation of how to use the ruler. Thanks for your tutorial, sir !

[@HLModTech]

Thanks Eddy. It is a really handy tool. I wish I thought of it earlier in my designs quite often.

The only thing i wanted to try and make was an adapter plate for my mic and it needed just a simple round hole and thanks to you i now done it! woo!

Those are perfect. Also I know the game didn't go the way you wanted but I respect you guys even more now when you guys declined the delay of game on the first play when we were having 10 men for a player who passed

[@HLModTech]

Thanks bud! So sad to have a player pass. I am glad both teams agreed to do that as well. You guys played great and deserved to win. I hope you guys get on a roll for the remainder of the season. 👍

Wow... From Centre and From Edge. I never knew that!

[@HLModTech]

I know the feeling. If it weren't for user questions I would not have spotted it either. Thanks for dropping by!

[@BrunosBreaks]

love the video. question, lets say after I design that plate in the video I forgot the size I made the holes. is there a way to use the ruler tool to accurately measure the diameter of those holes? or an other window created? thanks

[@HLModTech]

You can ungroup and check all of that. You can also double click to edit the grouped project.

[@capthowdy126]

should be able to hold shift when selecting the corner u want to drag from but instead of dragging just select it then typing the number should change both. i always have to hold the shift for each time i select the point i want the change made on.

[@HLModTech]

Interesting. I will test that. I use the shift drag in just about every project I create. It was so odd for it to not function as I was used to. Thanks, tons for the tip!

[@chrismillersrcfamily]

Dude. Lol thanks.

My pleasure. Have a great weekend and thanks for the note.

Man, Tinkercad would be so powerful if it had a good measuring system! It wouldn't be that hard to institute. All I can think is that Autocad wants their free program Tinkercad to be crippled so people will move up in their product line. I really like Tinkercad even with it's limitations, though! Just an amazing program!

[@HLModTech]

I used nudge skills instead of measuring for a long time. The more I use the ruler to more I find ways to put it to use. You are correct that Autodesk views Tinkercad as the intro. Since it is 100% free I do understand that they need users to eventually grow out of it. I love spending my time trying to make it do everything I want so I never have to pay for the big boy tools. =)

[@joeking433]

@@HLModTech Yeah, Tinkercad is an amazing program that makes things into intriguing puzzles as to how to figure them out. It's really good at exercising the mind! You would think that someone would come up with a competing program that would be better? I would gladly pay more for an improved version of Tinkercad. Maybe since TC is free there is no incentive to do that. Or maybe there is some kind of patent on it is all I can think.

[@HLModTech]

Someone has to be making enough money with the other programs that they are willing to dev a free program. I have tried a few of the other programs that have free or web interfaces. They always have features that you have to pay for. I love that Tinkercad does not have a pay version with more features.

[@joeking433]

@@HLModTech I would gladly pay for an improved Tinkercad program! I'm looking at Sketchup, it's $119 at the base level. I would buy an improved Tinkercad program for that in a heartbeat!

[@joeking433]

@@HLModTech It doesn't have to be free! Maybe $100 or so would be cool! In fact, I HATE free programs! The most worthless system I've ever seen! All it does is ruin innovation!

I’ll whip up a video in the morning. Thanks for the idea.

[@Harumphster1987]

Too fast, guy. You are doing a lot of things on the keyboard that we can't see, and thus have no real idea what is up. Slow it down and show it, so the new ones like me can actually see what is going on. Thanks.

[@HLModTech]

Thanks for the note. You are correct that one zipped around pretty quick. I have a few videos that were built from the ground up for beginners if you are interested. You can either search beginner in the channel, or visit my website. hlmodtech.com/tinkercad Thanks again for the note!

What are you hoping to create in Tinkercad. I can see if I’ve created a video that would fit your needs better. This one was created for a specific user that had a question once upon a time.
