Nicely described, and illustrated on screen. Even a dimbo like me can now use that trick - Thanks a lot Chuck

[davidhenderson]

Good man, that is what I was looking for. Its always good to find someone that knows how to explain something.

[buzzerco]

I love all the tinkercad tips they really help spend less time for makes.
thanks

[ChevTecGroup]

That align tool is what I was looking for earlier

[haydenc]

Way cool...love using tinkercad to do simple cutting or making/tweaking simple shapes like putting air vents in a orange pi zero case for cooling. Great video!

[asalottin]

Really appreciated it - thank you! The ruler can be tricky on that beta version and you just clarified it. Congrats!

[ImproperEngineering]

Very nice, Chuck! I've always used work-arounds to align to center, this would have made things so much easier!

[reasonablebeing]

Great Tinkercad tips video, more please.

[JosephHooper]

Love this. Would love more tips & tricks videos like this

[JasperTielen]

Great Chuck, that's what I was looking for a long time.

[LWJCarroll]

Thanks as I was trying to center a hole on an oblong block the other day and did it manually, but would have preferred to be able to do it using the rulers. Then you can see the dims etc are equal or not....Laurie

[farzadsaeidi]

Awesome! do you have any hint or suggestion of how to go about desiging a vortex fidget with Tinkercad?

[kirknelson]

just about everything i've created is thanks to your examples of creating on tinkercad :)

[drewartturbine]

Thanks! Am just thinking of entering an instructables contest and there’s a bonus prize if you use tinkercad. I enjoyed your very straightforward clear approach

[erice]

This tutorial is great, looking forward to more like it

[iKostanCom]

Hello there. Those are really handy tips. Thanks.

[Nifty-Stuff]

Chuck, this was exactly what I was looking for... in fact, most of your videos are ones that answer my questions. Keep up the great work!!

BTW, any tips on how to measure the distance between two existing points / items in Tinkercad?

[TheBlackBeltPanda]

Great tip! Haven't played with the ruler before but it looks super useful. =)

Hey chuck, I think it would be awesome of you were to make a review on the Mono Price select v2 3d printer. I know how great the mono price select mini is and how popular it is, so I am left with the question if the MP select is just as big as a steal and I am sure others have the same question.
