FreeCAD tutorial video
-------------------------------
This is my first attempt at a tutorial video so please don't be too-harsh with your criticisms :)

This tutorial is intended to be a brief introduction to FreeCAD's Sketcher Workbench, with particular focus on constraints.
A basic outline of a bicycle frame is built and constrained as closely as possible to real-life geometry.

Target audience - Beginner
Assumed prior knowledge - Basic understanding of FreeCAD and simple commands for manipulating objects and interacting with menus.

As I mention in the video, FreeCAD is still under development. Before I got to the stage where I was ready to make this tutorial I had a fair amount of random crashes where the program just completely shut-down. So make sure you SAVE YOU WORK OFTEN, don't say I didn't warn you!

Software: FreeCAD 0.12 running on an Ubuntu Linux machine.

make sure you check-out FreeCAD's home page at :
https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page

Happy FreeCADing :)

  • Really really great video! One correction, in 08.00, it is not a solver problem but an inconsistency in the dimensioning units that you have been using...you should have written 42.494 as you are sketching in centimeters, while 424.94 is the milimeters unit!!!

  • Gracias por el video

    Muy bueno para empezar en el manejo de freecad

  • great video. really great - one tip/suggestion that I've been hounded over the years for doing my self ;) as a viewer any mouse movements that arent required can be jarring. just a tip, great videos! thanks for taking the time to create them!

  • assumes a lot of knowledge - not for first time users
