Off topic here, but it was discussed concerning animated gifs vs. video.
The link shows wonderful usage for animated gifs, that's what they are made for. But mostly not for tutorial usage.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

About the PointOnLine constraint, with recent versions of asm3, the normal of a plane and the revolving axis of cylindrical surface can both be used as a 'Line'. In other word, for the second element of a PointOnLine constraint, you can simply use a cylindrical face, or the circular edge of the cylindrical face, or the circular edge of the sketch that creates the groove, and there is no need for an auxiliary sketch or manual setting of an offset.
Re: Tutorial : Introduction to mechanical engineering with FreeCAD
As soon as I've developed a technique, I'll replace some gif images with small videos (hopefully!).
But if you've had a look at the animations in the PartDesign examples, they'll only play once when the mouse over the image, they do not see themselves at rest, and they are slow. This is not enough but ...

OK, it's rectified. I did not have time to test the latest updates !realthunder wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 11:02 am About the PointOnLine constraint, with recent versions of asm3, the normal of a plane and the revolving axis of cylindrical surface can both be used as a 'Line'.

Example 4 (wheel) has been updated with Webm videos.
More videos will be added for the first examples.

Re: Tutorial : Introduction to mechanical engineering with FreeCAD
Videos have been added to all current examples.
Next goal: simple assemblies.

Re: Tutorial : Introduction to mechanical engineering with FreeCAD
Excellent tutorial, JPG.... Very well laid out, nice flow to the presentation, and fabulous animated diagrams. I also learned that "soustractive is french for "subtractive". I thought it was a recurring typo at first, then I finally determined that it was French.
This is a beautifully designed intro to FreeCAD. Thank you for putting in the time to develop this.

Thank you very much for these comments.
Hello everyone.
After an absence from the forum for more than a year, I am pleased to inform you of the update of my site concerning the chapter "assemblies" with Asm3 WB :

Re: Tutorial : Introduction to mechanical engineering with FreeCAD
Hello,
Can I download the sources of this assembly (1st example : using sub-object shape binder) somewhere? I ask because when I add a sub-object shape binder, the document can no longer be saved because here I get a loop in dependencies. So I'm interested in figuring out what I'm doing wrong
