|| Welcome to the tutorial on '''Modifications and Dimensioning'''.
|-
|| 0:06
|| In this tutorial, we will learn to,
|-
|| 0:09
|| Create multiple lines
|-
|| 0:12
|| Split a line
|-
|| 0:14
|| Use '''snap tools '''when adding intersections of lines
|-
|| 0:19
|| Add '''fillet '''and add '''chamfer'''
|-
|| 0:23
|| Measure an angular dimension
|-
|| 0:27
|| Add a '''leader line '''
|-
|| 0:30
|| To record this tutorial, I am using '''Windows '''11''' OS''' and '''FreeCAD '''version 0.21.1.
|-
|| 0:42
|| To follow this tutorial,
|-
|| 0:43
|| Learners must be familiar with the '''FreeCAD''' interface.
|-
|| 0:48
|| For pre-requisite tutorials, please visit this site.
|-
|| 0:53
|| Open '''FreeCAD.'''
|-
|| 0:56
|| Click on '''Create New '''to start a new file.
|-
|| 01:00
|| Go to '''Draft''' workbench.
|-
|| 01:03
|| Make sure the '''orthographic''' and '''top view''' are selected.
|-
|| 01:08
|| Then select the '''line tool'''.
|-
|| 01:11
|| Notice the changes in the '''Combo view '''panel.
|-
|| 01:15
|| Check the box for the '''Continue '''option.
|-
|| 01:19
|| We can draw multiple discontinuous lines or continuous lines now.
|-
|| 01:26
|| We don’t have to select the line tool each time to draw a different line.
|-
|| 01:32
|| To demonstrate I will add a few lines.
|-
|| 01:36
|| Several line objects are added on the '''combo view''' as we add more lines.
|-
|| 01:45
|| To exit this mode, press the '''escape key'''.
|-
|| 01:49
|| Next, select one of the lines and select the '''split tool'''.
|-
|| 01:56
|| Place the cursor on the line and left click to '''split''' the line at that point.
|-
|| 02:03
|| Notice the 2 line objects in the '''combo view''' panel.
|-
|| 02:09
|| Next, let’s learn about snap tools in line drawings.
|-
|| 02:15
|| I will click on 8 of the '''snap tools''' as seen.
|-
|| 02:19
|| It is useful to keep them on as you progress in your drawing skills.
|-
|| 02:25
|| Next, let’s create a drawing to learn the options present in snap tools.
|-
|| 02:32
|| Choose the '''line tool''' and check the box for '''continue'''.
|-
|| 02:36
|| Let’s draw one horizontal line.
|-
|| 02:41
|| Check the '''snap end point tool''' and draw two lines.
|-
|| 02:46
|| For this feature to be visible, the '''snap ortho tool''' is in the '''on''' mode.
|-
|| 02:54
|| Then we know that the line is horizontal.
|-
|| 02:59
|| Move the cursor to draw a line.
|-
|| 03:03
|| Notice the blue color + symbol, with the + symbol of the cursor.
|-
|| 03:10
|| The blue + symbol appears only when the line is horizontal or vertical.
|-
|| 03:17
|| Move the cursor close to the end of the line.
|-
|| 03:21
|| Notice a White dot on the line and a blue guide.
|-
|| 03:26
|| Since the '''Continue''' option is on, we can continue to draw line.
|-
|| 03:31
|| Let’s add labels on the line.
|-
|| 03:35
|| Notice the '''snap end-point''' is on in the '''snap tools'''.
|-
|| 03:41
|| Click on the '''text tool'''.
|-
|| 03:44
|| Move the cursor near the point to where the annotation is desired.
|-
|| 03:50
|| Notice the White dot and left click.
|-
|| 03:54
|| A dialog box to type custom text appears on the left.
|-
|| 04:00
|| I will type '''A '''in this.
|-
|| 04:04
|| If you don’t see the label sign, go to the '''data''' tab and increase the font size.
|-
|| 04:13
|| Now pause the video.
|-
|| 04:15
|| Repeat this procedure to label the other end of the line with '''C'''.
|-
|| 04:22
|| Notice that the '''snap mid-point '''is '''on'''.
|-
|| 04:27
|| We can also label the mid-point of the line in the same way.
|-
|| 04:33
|| Pause video and label the mid-point as '''B'''.
|-
|| 04:39
|| Click on the '''line tool''' again and make sure the '''snap perpendicular''' is on.
|-
|| 04:46
|| Place the cursor on the canvas and move it towards the line.
|-
|| 04:52
|| When we see the blue ‘+’ sign, we know that the new line will be perpendicular.
|-
|| 04:59
|| Pause the video, and create a label called '''D''', at this new line intersection.
|-
|| 05:08
|| Next let’s learn about '''snap intersection'''.
|-
|| 05:13
|| For this, we first have to turn off all other snap tools.
|-
|| 05:19
|| Move the cursor to near the intersection of the two lines.
|-
|| 05:25
|| The blue cross shows the intersection between the two lines.
|-
|| 05:30
|| Let’s create another line from the intersection point.
|-
|| 05:36
|| Left click and move the cursor.
|-
|| 05:39
|| Notice that line properties change in the left panel.
|-
|| 05:45
|| Type the angle to be 45 degrees and press the '''Enter''' key.
|-
|| 05:51
|| Notice the intersecting line at 45 degrees.
|-
|| 05:56
|| Pause the video and create two more labels of the remaining ends of the line.
|-
|| 06:05
|| I will label them '''E''' and '''F.'''
|-
|| 06:08
|| Let’s draw a rectangle next.
|-
|| 06:12
|| Edges and faces are often rounded off in '''engineering''' drawing.
|-
|| 06:18
|| This practice aid to reduce stress points and are called '''fillet''' or '''chamfer'''.
|-
|| 06:26
|| Rectangle is a closed loop single entity.
|-
|| 06:30
|| Hence, first downgrade the object to individual lines before '''fillet''' is applied.
|-
|| 06:38
|| Next, select two neighboring edges or lines.
|-
|| 06:43
|| Click on '''fillet.'''
|-
|| 06:44
|| Change the '''fillet''' value to 10 mm and press the '''Enter key'''.
|-
|| 06:50
|| Notice the sharp edge is now smoothened over.
|-
|| 06:55
|| Notice that both the original object and the '''fillet''' are present now.
|-
|| 07:01
|| Again, select two adjacent lines, and click on '''fillet'''.
|-
|| 07:06
|| Next, check the box for '''delete the original object'''.
|-
|| 07:12
|| Enter 12 for '''fillet''' and notice that only '''filet''' remains.
|-
|| 07:19
|| Next, pick another set of adjacent lines in the rectangle.
|-
|| 07:24
|| Then choose the '''fillet''' tool.
|-
|| 07:28
|| This time, check the box for both '''chamfer''' and '''delete original object'''.
|-
|| 07:34
|| Notice that '''Chamfer''' is more smooth and rounded around the corner than '''fillet'''.
|-
|| 07:42
|| Often we have to make angular measurements in the drawing.
|-
|| 07:47
|| Click on '''dimension'''.
|-
|| 07:50
|| Hold down '''Shift''' and '''Alt''' keys.
|-
|| 07:55
|| Notice the parameter changes in '''combo view'''.
|-
|| 08:00
|| Holding the keys down, select the two lines where the angle is to be measured.
|-
|| 08:07
|| We can measure the inside or outside dimension.
|-
|| 08:13
|| Move the cursor on the canvas between and outside the selected lines.
|-
|| 08:19
|| Notice the arc denoting the measurement also flips.
|-
|| 08:25
|| Left click once to measure the angle.
|-
|| 08:30
|| Only now, release the '''SHIFT '''and '''ALT''' keys.
|-
|| 08:35
|| Next, let’s learn to create a '''leader line'''.
|-
|| 08:39
|| '''Leader line''' aid to move annotation to a more suitable position in the canvas.
|-
|| 08:47
|| Choose the '''Label tool'''.
|-
|| 08:50
|| Choose a corner on the '''rectangle''' and left click.
|-
|| 08:55
|| Notice the blue pointer when the cursor is close to the corner.
|-
|| 09:01
|| Draw a line to a side.
|-
|| 09:04
|| Then drag the line to a side.
|-
|| 09:09
|| Click once and drag again to the side as seen.
|-
|| 09:14
|| Left click to accept the '''leader''' '''line'''.
|-
|| 09:18
|| Notice the label text showing in the canvas.
|-
|| 09:22
|| Sometimes the '''Label''' does not show on the canvas.
|-
|| 09:27
|| If so, first select the label line and click on the '''view''' tab.
|-
|| 09:34
|| Let’s change the size of the text on the canvas.
|-
|| 09:39
|| Scroll down in the '''View''' tab and to '''text properties'''.
|-
|| 09:44
|| Increase the text size to a higher value, to show the label.
|-
|| 09:51
|| This value may be different for each of you.
|-
|| 09:56
|| In '''Combo view''', go to the '''Data''' tab.
|-
|| 10:00
|| Click on the '''Custom text''' form in the '''Label''' section.
|-
|| 10:05
|| Click on the '''Ellipsis '''seen on the right side.
|-
|| 10:09
|| A '''List''' dialog box opens.
|-
|| 10:13
|| I will type “'''R 10'''” and click on '''OK'''.
|-
|| 10:16
|| Some of you may not see the label update.
|-
|| 10:21
|| Though the form value is updated, symbol does not appear on the canvas.
|-
|| 10:29
|| First click on the custom text form and then on the canvas to see the update.
|-
|| 10:36
|| As needed save your work and exit '''FreeCAD'''.
|-
|| 10:41
|| Now let's summarize.
