Something that looks backwards to you may be the most rational way to understand it for someone else.ĥ. Just because a program doesn’t work the way you prefer doesn’t make it wrong. “That piece of **** doesn’t work” isn’t a bug description.Ĥ. Write a clear and fair bug description for the programmers when you have trouble using it. Reading and using the description the first time through can take a new user twenty minutes or more – and thereafter only seconds because they’ve learned how.ģ. It generally takes me a couple of hours to make photos and describe the process. It takes seconds to thread one for use if you know how.
#Freecad assembly tutorial how to#
I write descriptions of how to use old sewing machines. It often takes far more time to describe something than to do it. The time you take to learn how to do something new in a new way can’t be weighed against what you might have earned at work in the same amount of time.Ģ. Posted in how-to Tagged cad, curves, design, freecad, Twist Post navigationġ. As for mechanical drawings themselves, we’ve seen FreeCAD can be used to make those, too.
The video below is also pretty good overall demonstration of what designing a part from a mechanical drawing looks like when done in FreeCAD. This twisted bracket is a simple part that is nevertheless nontrivial from a CAD perspective, and that makes it a good candidate for showing off the different workbenches and tools.
In that spirit, created a video demonstrating how to model a twisted part in FreeCAD, showing the entire workflow of creating the part as a blend of surfaces and curves that get turned into a solid.įreeCAD is organized using the concept of multiple “workbenches” which are each optimized for different tools and operations, and walks through doing the same jobs in a few different ways. Quick references are handy, but sometimes it’s nice to have a process demonstrated from beginning to end.
