Thank you for this video. I appreciate how you make your titles so relevant to the topic and problem, making searching for a helpful sulution a breeze, and if you're not the top solution, you're always in the top three search results for my enquiries.

This got me pointed in the right direction to solve another issue. Thanks! You've helped me quite a bit with FreeCAD over the past couple years. I really appreciate your videos.

How have I not noticed the Transform option until now... It might have not been the point of the video, but my mind was blown in the first thirty seconds. Thanks.

Good work, thank you for diffusing a very frustrating issue with a brief explanation.

[workshoptherapy]

Finally, somebody that explains this clear! Congrats!

[GDub]

Everytime I need help with something you have a video, Thanks!

[TheMrMused]

Brilliant! Very, very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you for another excellent video.

tnx. can have general explantion about revolving around axis in part and part desing, axis which is not part from our coordinate ? and the most appealing explantation will be about affine transformations vs linear in freecad
and why i can't place a point in this way in part design workflow?

[windsurfingphd]

Great video as always :-)) How do you rotate a circle (from sketch)? Sketches do not respond transforms or placements at all.

Can you rotate a part while using the assembly workbench that you showed in a previous video? I'm having trouble linking 2 parts and putting an angle on one of them

[EphiBlanshey]

Thank you for clarifying how to actually set rotation using angles! Is there a way to do the same thing for an attachment property for an item, rather than placement? I don't see a similar option in the edit menu.

DO YOU KNOW HOW CAN I ALIGN 10 HOLES OF DIFFERENT DIAMETER EQUIDISTANT EVERY ONE BETWEEN THEIR CIRCUMEFRENCE WITH A FORMULA ??? COULD YOU DO A TUTORIAL OR EXPLAIN ME ? THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTERESTING HELP.

Actually i have a problem
I face a case when i need to add numbers of "center " label manually instead of clicking with mouse
But the problem is when i entered them the new axis doesn't triggered, which means the old axis is still active
Please help
