For everyone having issues when making the two slot center points symmetric to the x axis (around 13:10): Enable "Auto Remove Redundants". In 0.21.1, this parameter can be set in the constraints settings. You find these settings at the top right corner of the constrains section on the left.

I found that by adding a point to the x-axis and then using that point (instead of the x-axis) along with the two radius points, I was able to establish the symmetrical constraint on the slot.

Wow this is the first tutorial that I’ve watched the explained constraining geometry and then the measurements . I’d get to the end of sketching and never new where to start. Thanks for your doing this for free CAD. 82 and never too old to learn some thing New. Please keep them coming LarryMJones

i'll be honest - when i began watching the first video i LOL'd. after always complaining that educational videos don't start at the beginning, i was tempted to FF a bit, but constrained myself (see what i did there ?) and watched carefully. your videos are fanastic so far. your explanations are clear and concise. you pace things very well and the examples you select actually illustrate something important, not just jumping around without a clear plan. you don't stumble around with 'ah' and 'um' signaling confusion on your part as well as causing angst on ours (despite ESL skills - please forgive me if I'm mistaken ... i can't figure out your accent !). thank you for going to so much trouble (while ever so politely shaming single-language Americans) to share your skills with those of us who have never needed to use a CAD program before. already looking forward to the next, and rest, of your videos

I found your channel after searching up FreeCAD tutorials after getting FreeCAD. I am a complete CAD beginner, I have never used any form of parametric design software before and your videos have helped me to get my head around this as someone who is self-teaching. Brilliant content! Cant wait for Part 3.

Excellent tutorial! Your pacing is just about perfect for me (and I like the little reminders "right click"), I only have to pause and/or rewind occasionally, as opposed to some other tutorials I've watched where they go way too fast. I have a tiny bit of experience with Fusion but I am trying to move to FreeCAD.

I did 2-D drafting in the 1980's with AutoCAD, but things with CAD software have obviously changed a lot since then! I'm totally new to the concepts of "degrees of freedom" and "constraints". This is very helpful instruction, both in the operation of the application interface and the concepts of 3-D drafting. Thank you.

This is a fantastic program taught by a fantastic teacher. I've used SolidWorks, SketchUp, and recently Fusion 360. I found SketchUp to be useful for architectural drawings but worthless for machine tools. I was looking for a CAD program with a sheet metal component. Fusion 360 has that, but it is torture to use. You, sir, and FreeCAD are worth a million. Your teaching style is clear and concise. I can't thank you enough.
