|-
|| 0:34
|| To record this tutorial, I am using
|-
|| 0:36
|| '''Windows 11 '''OS and '''FreeCAD version 0.21.1'''
|-
|| 0:46
|| To follow this tutorial,
|-
|| 0:48
|| Learners must be familiar with the '''FreeCAD''' interface.
|-
|| 0:53
|| For pre-requisite tutorials, please visit this site.
|-
| 0:57
|| I have opened the '''FreeCAD''' interface.
|-
|| 01:01
|| To create a new exercise, click on '''File''', '''New'''.
|-
|| 01:06
|| The '''Workbench '''option on the top shows '''start'''.
|-
|| 01:11
|| In the menu option on top, select '''Draft workbench'''.
|-
|| 01:16
|| The interface menu options change.
|-
|| 01:20
|| Go to '''View '''then '''Toolbars''' in the menu.
|-
|| 01:24
|| Make sure that all the tool bar options are enabled in the list.
|-
|| 01:30
|| If any option is not enabled click on the left side to enable it as seen.
|-
|| 01:37
|| '''Macro''' option allows the user to write and install own features.
|-
|| 01:43
|| All menu buttons may not be seen on the top as in the video.
|-
|| 01:49
|| If so, drag and rearrange them to make them visible for future use.
|-
|| 01:56
|| Now click on '''Edit''', '''Preferences'''.
|-
|| 02:01
|| '''Preferences''' window opens.
|-
|| 02:04
|| Go to the '''General''' tab.
|-
|| 02:06
|| Ensure that the styles are appropriately selected .
|-
|| 02:11
|| Now choose the '''units tab'''.
|-
|| 02:14
|| From here you can change the unit system that you desire.
|-
|| 02:20
|| For the '''unit system''', I will choose '''Standard'''.
|-
|| 02:24
|| I will keep the '''number of decimals''' as 2.
|-
|| 02:28
|| You may change this later on.
|-
|| 02:31
|| Next, click on the '''Draft''' option on the left side panel.
|-
|| 02:36
|| In the '''General setting''' tab, make sure the default working plane is selected.
|-
|| 02:43
|| I will select '''XY top'''.
|-
|| 02:46
|| We can also select this view using the '''gizmo''' on the interface as seen here.
|-
|| 02:53
|| Internal precision level can be changed based on user preference.
|-
|| 02:59
|| I will leave it as is for now.
|-
|| 03:02
|| Now go to '''Grid and snapping''' tab.
|-
|| 03:06
|| I will uncheck the '''Grid''' options as seen here for ease of drawing later on.
|-
|| 03:13
|| Click on '''Apply''' to accept the changes and then on '''OK''' to close the window.
|-
|| 03:20
|| Now click on '''View''', then on '''Panels'''.
|-
|| 03:24
|| Make sure '''Report View''' and '''Combo view''' are checked or selected.
|-
|| 03:30
|| Stepwise procedure and any bugs will be shown here by '''FreeCAD'''.
|-
|| 03:36
|| '''Model''' shows the tools used during drawing.
|-
|| 03:41
|| The '''Property View''' window shows the properties of the object that can be changed.
|-
|| 03:48
|| Click on the '''cube''' or the gizmo icon as seen.
|-
|| 03:53
|| The drop down prompts the user to make 2D, 3D or another selection.
|-
|| 04:00
|| Select '''orthographic''' or '''isometric''' as desired.
|-
|| 04:05
|| '''Orthographic''' gives 2D drawing and '''isometric''' is projection of 3D drawing.
|-
|| 04:12
|| For now I will select '''Orthographic'''.
|-
|| 04:16
|| I will also select the top view.
|-
|| 04:20
|| These can also be accessed from the View menu on the top.
|-
|| 04:25
|| First click on the '''Snap ortho''' tool.
|-
|| 04:29
|| When the snap tool is enabled the icon background changes to cyan color.
|-
|| 04:35
|| Now let’s draw a Line on the canvas.
|-
| 04:39
|| Snap tools aid the user in selecting specific points on an object.
|-
|| 04:45
|| They can be start point, end point, mid point, intersection or perpendicular.
|-
|| 04:52
|| Make sure that the '''Lock icon''' is disabled.
|-
|| 04:56
|| Now the '''Report view panel''' prompts the user to pick the first point.
|-
|| 05:02
|| The options in the '''Draft creation tools '''can be used to choose '''Line'''.
|-
|| 05:08
|| Notice the changes on the panels on the left side when we click on the line tool.
|-
|| 05:15
|| Left click on the canvas, hold and drag to draw a line as desired.
|-
|| 05:21
|| Click again to end the line.
|-
|| 05:24
|| You can change the length of the line from the task tab in the '''Combo''' '''View''' panel.
|-
|| 05:32
|| At this time notice the coordinates on '''Combo View''' changes.
|-
|| 05:38
|| Since this is a horizontal line, only x coordinate changes.
|-
|| 05:43
|| The exact dimension of the line can also be specified here.
|-
|| 05:49
|| You may pause the video and do the following.
|-
|| 05:53
|| Add another line by giving x coordinate dimension as 100 mm.
|-
|| 06:00
|| Notice a blue small + sign, which indicates that the '''snap ortho''' is on.
|-
|| 06:08
|| It aids in drawing a horizontal or vertical line.
|-
|| 06:12
|| Let’s draw another line which will snap to the end of the first line.
|-
|| 06:18
|| Next enable the '''Endpoint''' and '''Midpoint''' icons in snap tools.
|-
|| 06:24
|| Now place the cursor close to the end of the first line.
|-
|| 06:28
|| Notice the white dot at the end of the line.
|-
|| 06:33
|| Now the snap tool will snap the new line to this point.
|-
|| 06:39
|| To save the file, click on '''File''', '''Save'''.
|-
|| 06:44
|| Now the two line objects can be seen in the list.
|-
|| 06:48
|| To select an object click on it and notice the green outline.
|-
|| 06:53
|| We can also select an object from the '''Combo View'''.
|-
|| 06:58
|| Next, we will use '''Draft modification tools'''.
|-
|| 07:02
|| To move the object, first click on the 4 direction arrow.
|-
|| 07:07
|| Many parameters can be tracked during the move in the '''combo view''' panel.
|-
|| 07:13
|| First click on the object and move the mouse to the new location.
|-
|| 07:19
|| Left click again to the desired location, to move the object.
|-
|| 07:24
|| To make a copy of an object, first select it.
|-
|| 07:30
|| Click on the check box for '''Copy'''.
|-
|| 07:33
|| Notice the duplicated object name appears on the '''combo view panel'''.
|-
|| 07:39
|| The new object is superimposed on the parent and is indistinguishable.
|-
|| 07:45
|| Now select it and click on the '''Move''' tool.
|-
|| 07:48
|| Then, place the cursor on the object and move it to the desired location.
|-
|| 07:54
|| Save your work as needed.
|-
|| 07:57
|| Use '''File''', '''Exit''' to close '''FreeCAD'''.
|-
|| 08:01
|| Now let's summarize.
|-
|| 08:03
|| In this tutorial, we,
|-
|| 08:04
|| Set user preferences before starting to draw
|-
|| 08:09
|| Used '''Draft''' workbench to draw a line
|-
|| 08:13
|| Used '''snap tools''' to snap a second line to it’s endpoint and
|-
|| 08:19
|| Moved and copied an object
|-
|| 08:22
|| For assignment activity, please do the following.
|-
|| 08:26
|| Draw a rectangle
|-
|| 08:28
|| Draw a square with a side of 30 mm
|-
| 08:32
|| Next let’s construct concentric circles with the following steps.
|-
|| 08:38
|| Draw a circle
|-
|| 08:39
|| Click on '''Snap Center (ON)'''
|-
|| 08:42
|| Click on '''Point icon''' in '''Draft creation tools'''
|-
|| 08:47
|| Move cursor close to the circle and notice the center point appear
|-
|| 08:52
|| Then left click to form the next circle
|-
|| 08:56
|| Choose the circle icon again
|-
|| 9:00
|| Move the cursor on canvas and resize the 2nd circle
