Hello,
Using Free Cad 0.19
this is my first post, pls take this into account should I do something wrong ...
I am starting with FreeCAD and I found on youtube a training for newcomers, watched and was good.
I choose Partdesign, the new empty document, create body, create sketch, xy plane and click OK. everything as in the video. until now OK.
I understand the highlighted on / off of the origin / sketch
i get the grid lines on / off etc
when i am in the body : i select say a square box. single click , get the highlight to use, go to the center point of the red/green lines
When i watch the video, the box clicks in and appears.
when i click my insert, the grid lines move like i am rotating a 3 d object, but NEVER inserts lines, circles squares nothing.
no matter what i try i can never insert the object, my page view just rotates.
any assistance welcome
thanks

Welcome to the forum.
I think you have to set your mouse model.
