Outstanding tutorials! Like other comments have said, you do move pretty quickly, but I prefer it this way because you can always rewind and pause, and then you don't have to wait a grueling amount of time each time I rewind to find the step I'm looking for. Very clear and informative directions, and very well explained. By far, the best Librecad tutorial I have found on Youtube. Much appreciated!

Hats off to you 👏👏 One of the best video I have found on LibreCAD foundation....😍😍
Today is my 2nd day of learning LibreCAD and I found your amazing video. Initially I found it bit difficult but after going through each steps again and again, I am able to learn all the useful steps that is required in a professional drawing. Tons of thanks and big KUDOS to you..👌👍

YOU ARE LITERALLY SAVING MY LIFE. (Long, crazy story there, but I do mean literally.) Thank you!

Nicely done, no irrelevant chatter, education not show business.

Have used AutoCAD in the past but learning LibreCAD as AC way too expensive. Very useful tutorial thank you. Although fast, I stopped it many times to re-watch so fine for me.

Excellent! I need to create a map of a local cemetery and show the names and locations of all the headstones. I think this information gives me what I need to know to do that. Thank you!

At 2:99 why I can't see lines thickness only in preview mode showing correctly?
Found: need to disable draft mode

Congrats for the video! One question: Is possible add attribute definitions to blocks in LibreCAD?

[RobertJacobson]

Another question: when you inserted the design into an existing drawing, why did you have to scale it? Didn't we draw it to scale already? Why is it not the case that we are making the page a few meters tall?

[RobertJacobson]

I cannot snap the text the way you do with the same snap settings turned on/off. It tries to snap to the midpoint or endpoint of a line segment. I have to basically turn off all the snaps and just eyeball it. Which is fine, except it's confusing to me why you don't have the same behavior as I do with the same snap settings.

Way too fast for this beginner. Set to 0.5 speed and still struggling. What did you do to bring up the first corner coordinates data entry? And then the second? Could not reproduce.

It can only save as dxf, can it save as dwg ?

[steveu]

how are you setting the dimensions of the paper

[wallytuescher]

It's pretty obvious that you are very adept at LibreCAD. Like others have commented "way too fast". Select, click, delete, etc. There's a lot you just fly through. Not very helpful for a beginner and if I were familiar with the program I wouldn't be watching this.

You don't have much experience teaching ... it is obvious.
