Concerning your request for solving the problem of having a part turn off when you make a new sketch, I believe the solution is to make the body the Active Part BEFORE you make a new sketch. My experience is that the body stays on.
I try to make a simple sheet metal based part using the sheetmetal workbench. Starting with a XY Sketch -> a pad -> adding bends -> then get stuck adding holes in those bends. An step by step tutorial on that would be great.. also how to create sunk screw holes and welded nuts on the opposite side of the bends would be very helpful as well. .Very much like the slow place of this compared to most other "click click , not telling why and what was clicked/hot-keyed tutorials" , As a rookie (not an ME) I found FreeCAD very confusing . For example some use parts and body, some not,. Often Freecad let you do things with which you run into trouble later and the error messages are quite hard to understand and the whole project is broken and need to start from scratch, The treeview structure is also quite confusing and a seperate tutorial on the logic of it might be very refreshing. Lot's to learn :-)
I have found your videos to be informative, however I object to your SWAGing part creation in this video. That is one of my objections to some of the instruction for Sketchup. Of course with Sketchup a user is forced to SWAG some aspects of part creation. As an old drafting/technical modeling instructor I think that for an application to be useful by manufacturing industry precision is imperative. I expect that many FreeCad users are hobbyist and not in manufacturing…yet. Just sayin BTW just for future reference keep in mind that mm is not mil. Mil is an unit of measure in manufacturing.
Thanks for the feedback, you have to remember that with parametric design, the actual dimensions are not as important as the way you constrain them. Also, it is not necessary to create a dead nuts design to explain a modeling concept. I learned drafting before the days of cad and understand well where you are coming from but parametric modeling is a game changer.
Sangat membantu bagi saya yang masih pemula. Tahap demi tahap dijelaskan dengan bahasa sederhana.
Terimakasih 🙏🙏🙏
You are welcome!
Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you.
You are so welcome
look forward to the next video,thanks
Coming soon

Actually there's a setting that you can change. I have switched it now and it's 50/50 as to whether you want it on or not 😁

Do you have an example of what you are trying to make?
Please google for typical sheet metal enclosure. You should see a pictture of a top and base seperated . sorry all my comments get deleted.
@@de-bugger I am seeing your response. I will have a look at the sheet metal stuff when I get a chance.
intresting!
Thanks

Good idea 💡
