|| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Windows 11 '''OS and '''FreeCAD '''version 0.21.1 
|-
|| 0:38
|| To follow this tutorial, 
|-
|| 0:41
|| Learners must be familiar with the '''FreeCAD''' interface. 
|-
|| 0:46
|| For pre-requisite tutorials, please visit this site.
|-
|| 0:51
|| Open '''FreeCAD'''. 
|-
|| 0:53
|| Click on '''Create new''' to start a new file.
|-
|| 01:01
|| Click on '''View''' and select '''Standard View.''' 
|-
|| 01:05
|| Choose '''Axonometric''' from the menu and then select '''Isometric'''. 
|-
|| 01:15
|| Notice that the '''gizmo''' changes to isometric in the canvas. 
|-
|| 01:18
|| Click on the '''Auto''' icon on the top. 
|-
|| 01:22
|| It is the tool to select the current working plane.
|-
|| 01:27
|| Notice the changes in the left side panel. 
|-
|| 01:31
|| Click on the Top (XY) option. 
|-
|| 01:35
|| For isometric drawing, the working plane must be the '''XY plane.'''
|-
|| 01:41
|| '''Isometric''' view is a 2D representation of a 3D object aligned to 3 axes. 
|-
|| 01:50
|| Let’s draw a '''cube'''. 
|-
|| 01:52
|| Create a rectangle and select it.
|-
|| 01:56
|| Go to the '''Property tab''' in the left panel. 
|-
|| 02:01
|| Change the '''Display mode''' to '''wireframe'''. 
|-
|| 02:05
|| Scroll down to the height and length form. 
|-
|| 02:09
|| I will make this into a square of 30 x 30 '''mm''' in dimension.
|-
|| 02:17
|| Make sure '''snap end '''and '''snap ortho''' tools are enabled. 
|-
|| 02:23
|| Draw a '''line''' from one of the corners of the square for some length. 
|-
|| 02:29
|| Select this line and change its length to 30 '''mm''' as before. 
|-
|| 02:36
|| Next let’s make the top face of the cube from the existing face. 
|-
|| 02:42
|| First select the rectangle object, which has dimensions of a square. 
|-
|| 02:48
|| Click on the '''Move tool'''. 
|-
|| 02;50
|| Check the box for '''Copy'''. 
|-
|| 02:54
|| Click on one of the corners of the rectangle, hold and drag it upwards. 
|-
|| 03:01
|| Place it at the end of the line object, when you see the white dot. 
|-
|| 03:08
|| Then click to set it’s position. 
|-
|| 03:12
|| Create the remaining edges of the cube by joining the edges as seen. 
|-
|| 03:19
|| Click on the '''line tool.''' 
|-
|| 03:22
|| Click on the corners of the top face.
|-
|| 03:26
|| Then move to the bottom face corner, and snap the line to the corner.
|-
|| 03:35
|| When you see the white sign click to set the line.
|-
|| 03:40
|| Next let’s make a cylinder. 
|-
|| 03:44
|| Click on the '''circle tool''', and draw a circle on the '''canvas'''. 
|-
|| 03:50
|| Select the circle and uncheck the box for '''Filled''' in the left panel.
|-
|| 03:57
|| Type a radius of 30 '''mm''' and press the Enter key. 
|-
|| 04:04
|| Notice that the circle appears as an '''ellipse''' in the '''isometric view'''. 
|-
|| 04:11
|| Make sure that the snap center and snap ortho tools are enabled. 
|-
|| 04:18
|| Click on the '''line tool '''again. 
|-
|| 04:21
|| Draw a line from the '''center''' of the circle to upwards. 
|-
|| 04:27
|| In the '''property''' tab in the data panel, scroll down to the '''length''' form. 
|-
|| 04:34
|| Type 90 for the '''length''' of the cylinder and press the '''Enter''' key. 
|-
|| 04:41
|| Go to '''Draw style''' pulldown in the '''object style''' section. 
|-
|| 04:46
|| Change the line type to '''dashdot''' from the menu.
|-
|| 04:51
|| Now select the '''circle''' and click on the '''move tool.''' 
|-
|| 04:57
|| Check the '''copy''' checkbox.
|-
|| 05:00
|| Click on circle, hold, move and place it on top.
|-
|| 05:06
|| Click to set the position of the top face of the cylinder. 
|-
|| 05:12
|| Observe the white dot sign of the''' snap''' tool at the set position. 
|-
|| 05:19
|| Enable the '''snap angle''' tool next. 
|-
|| 05:23
|| Choose the '''line tool. '''
|-
|| 05:26
|| Draw a line from the top face to the bottom face of the cylinder.
|-
|| 05:32
|| Do this to form 2 projectors for the cylinder as seen. 
|-
|| 05:38
|| You may not have sufficient space on the screen. 
|-
|| 05:43
|| Place the cursor on the canvas and use the scroll wheel to pan on the canvas. 
|-
|| 05:51
|| Next let’s draw a '''cone'''. 
|-
|| 05:54
|| Click on '''Edit''' in the top menu and choose '''box''' '''selection'''. 
|-
|| 05:57
|| Move the cursor to the canvas and notice the small selection box. 
|-
|| 06:03
|| Click and hold the left mouse and select all parts of the cylinder.
|-
|| 06:10
|| Notice that 5 entities are checked in the left hand panel and in the canvas. 
|-
|| 06:19
|| Click on the '''move''' tool and check the box for '''Copy'''. 
|-
|| 06:24
|| Drag out a copy of the entities together in the canvas. 
|-
|| 06:31
|| Select and delete the top face and the 2 side projector lines. 
|-
|| 06:38
|| Enable the '''snap angle tool'''. 
|-
|| 06:42
|| Then click on the '''line tool.'''
|-
|| 06:44
|| From the top of the 90 '''mm''' line, draw a projector line to the circle. 
|-
|| 06:52
|| Repeat to add a projector line on the other side as well. 
|-
|| 06:59
|| Next let’s draw an '''ellipse'''. 
|-
|| 07:02
|| Click on the '''ellipse''' tool.
|-
|| 07:04
|| Move the cursor to the canvas, click hold and drag. 
|-
|| 07:09
|| Now the '''ellipse''' may look like a rectangle to the human eye.
|-
|| 07:14
|| In the left hand panel, change the values for delta x(Dx) and delta y(Dy). 
|-
|| 07:22
|| Type 50 in the form for delta x('''Dx'''), press the '''tab''' key and type 60 for delta y('''Dy''').
|-
|| 07:32
|| Press the Enter key.
|-
|| 07:33
|| The value for delta z(Dz) gets highlighted. 
|-
|| 07:37
|| We will leave the delta z(Dz) as is at 0 '''mm''' and press the '''Enter''' key.
|-
|| 07:45
|| Notice the '''ellipse''' on the screen.
|-
|| 07:48
|| Now do a '''box selection''' for the entities in the cone. 
|-
|| 07:53
|| That is I am selecting all the entities that make up the '''cone'''.
|-
|| 08:00
|| Move the cursor to the multiple selected objects on the left panel. 
|-
|| 08:07
|| Right click to open the context menu and select '''utilities'''.
|-
|| 08:13

|-
|| 08:17
|| Dialog box opens.
|-
|| 08:21
|| '''Add a group''' dialog box appears.
|-
|| 08:25
|| I will type cone for the new name.
|-
|| 08:29
|| A new group named '''cone appears. '''
|-
|| 08:33
|| Click open the tree view for '''cone''' and notice all the selected objects under it.
|-
|| 08:40
|| Next, let’s learn to export our drawings to user friendly formats. 
|-
|| 08:47
|| First select the objects that we want to export. 
|-
|| 08:51
|| I will select the cylinder using box selection.
|-
|| 08:56
|| Click on '''File, Export''' and a dialog box opens. 
|-
|| 09:01
|| Choose the '''type of file''' first.
|-
|| 09:04

|| Notice a wide variety of options. 
|-
|| 09:09
|| '''amf''' and '''3mf''' denotes '''3D''' and additive manufacturing formats.
|-
|| 09:16
|| The '''Autodesk''' '''DWG''' '''2D''' format is for exporting in '''autocad''' format.
|-
|| 09:25
|| Formats such as images and pdfs are also available for the choice of users. 
|-
|| 09:33
|| Give a file name and path of your choice and click on export to save the file. 
|-
|| 09:40
|| Pause the video, choose options of your choice and practice exporting.
|-
|| 09:46
