Bunch of issues/questions

He's just changing the rotation axis of the PartDesign body manually by scrolling his mouse wheel over the input field.

Yes but looks like "folder" is controlling both arms (parts) in it. So by making structure of folders some kind of kinetics can be achieved, but this doesn't explain how he put axis of rotation in the between objects.

[NormandC]

It's not a group(folder), it's a Part container. He's using 0.17, as his video title infers. Read the pinned 0.17dev topic for more information.

Combine the arc from two segments (same center, same radius) or use a construction arc with an angle of 45°.

Considering the position of the arrow, I think efyx meant the quadrant of the arc. If that's the case, all that is needed is to apply a point on object constraint between the point and the horizontal sketch axis.

I get that bug sometimes, but very rarely and it's difficult to reproduce.

I see! I thought it should be on the first quarter of the half circle, i.e. 1/8 instead of 1/4.

12) Can you provide 3d sketch? Why? It is really usefull when creating steel constructions, pipelines, lofts etc.. I know that I can draftwire something nearly 3d sketch, but is really hard to draw that, at least should be provided "blocking 3rd dimension" (I don't know how to call that correctly), it means while 3dsketch when you push for example "tab" button it switched between xy,xz,yz plane and this not breaking the line chain.

I don't think that this is the same look: https://youtu.be/HO-yg6sC5t4?t=3m59s
here is whole tutorial (unfortunatelly very slow) about 3d sketch in SW https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChhM7JJ_GIY

This is very needed for wiring, piping, steel structures etc..
