Thank you for creating this simple to follow along tutorial. It was a great way to dive in and actually try something in CAD as a first time nube. Really appreciated the process and trying out some of those specialty tool functions.

Thank you very much for the simple and useful information!

Thank you very much for this tutorial. I used to be an AutoCad user and this program comes close to what I was used to draw with. I got a small tip for you to use the command "Round (rn)" to make an arc between two lines instead of "2 tangents and radius (ctr)".

What an amazing video. Very clean and concise use of this CAD tool in a practical application. I wanted a simple CAD tool to map out the boundary of my garden and I found testing various tools required intensive learning that was time consuming and tiring. This video showed how to find and use important tools in QCAD in a drawing example that would be applicable to most drawings. The only thing not covered was how to show dimensions on a separate layer. Thank you making this great videoš

Top notch!! finally someone who shows the design creation in context not just "how to draw a line" nonsense. This should get me going to make my aluminum hinges for my boat š Thank you.

More useful than any university lecture, very well explained and easy to follow. If I can follow this anyone can.

EXCELLENT ! Thanks for the clear, PROJECT BASED introduction.

When starting to create something like this I would suggest that you take a moment to study what you envision for the final result- you have 4 arms and motor pads that are all the same, you have 16 of the small slotted holes and 2 of the long slotted holes. The first rule of CAD is to not draw the same thing twice. You could have created one of the arms including divisions and fillets, then you could copy and mirror it twice to get all 4 of them. You could have created one of the small slotted holes and copied and mirrored/rotated it. You could have created one of the long slots and copied it. This would have been a lot less work. However this is still a very good video to demonstrate the capabilities of the program and how to use various of the commands.
