FreeCAD Constraints Part 1 | Easy Beginner Tutorial

Great walkthrough video 👍
Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us 👍😀

Cheers!

Thanks you😃😃😃

Thank You, friend? Your job is very useful!

Thank you! Great beginner tutorial.

I was looking for a way to center objects, I didn't know you can click on the point and origin to specify the distance constraint!

I am an absolute begineer. Best video for me. Thanks Q!

Wow. Compared to other freecad explainers you are like a Greek god! Those constrains really got shit out of me.

How to add the constraints on the ribbon? It doesn't appear on my ribbon.

I spent like 4 hours trying to figure out why i still had DoFs in my sketch and you solved my problem in 2 minutes

Constraint understanding is critical... many frustrations seem to be connected to these constraints.
Thanks for doing the video

Thank you!!!
:)

Well explained friend, Thank You .Brian UK !!!.

Cheers amigo 🍹

Many thanks for taking the time and effort of making these videos and sharing Your knowledge.
Best regards

Just started with Freecad (always worked with Sketchup) and While i'm Dutch and started the Dutch version of Freecad it was totaly unclear what the function of constraints where. This video made it all clear for me, thank you!!!

I've watched a bunch of tutorials. You're the first one to clue me into the distance constraint which fixed my current sketch. However, I don't feel any more knowledgeable about how to achieve a constrained sketch. The must be a more elegant method than randomly applying constraints until it works - this took me hours for what I thought would be the simplest part of my model.

It there an order of operations, or effecient strategy for constraining? I was having the most problems with arcs so I started by constraining them with brute force and then following along the perimeter one line segment at a time. I was surprised that in the end I was stuck with one small line that when deleted would turn everything green. I wound up deleting it and replacing with an arc and it worked!

What I think I know:
1. Plan whole sketch in advance and constrain it as you go. (LOL. this isn't going to happen often; I'm an on-the-fly kind of guy)
2. deleting and re-drawing difficult segments.
3. constrain one segment and build off that.
4. use all the constrain tools.

what I don't get
1. I'm guessing the goal is to clearly define each point's relative location. is there a best "home" location? the purple external geometries seem more effective. should I constrain more thing to these?
2. Is there a best constrain tool to start with or is it better to get SOMETHING constrained and build off that?
3. lots more probably

Yeah but why constraints?

Than you have fixed my frustrations

Thank you great tutorial!!!

Thanks bro! I'm just starting out (day 2) - it's confusing but I'll get there!

Hard to thank you enough. Every other tutor goes on and on without explaining what constraint in the 1st place. Great video, thumbs up💯.

A simple, concise, understandable tutorial series. Two thumbs up!

This is so good, thanks man. This friggen helped me a tonne

you are definitely true engineering. talking about degree of freedom for a first 1 minutes.

Yeah, thanks that was very helpful

cool man...

wow. you deserve a huge thanks

Just dipping my toes into FreeCAD...super helpful, thank you!

Dziękuję, na zdrowie! Skąd to nawiązanie do Polski?

I hate that feature. I made a technical drawing, why the heck i need constraint anything? whats the point
