Introduction to A2Plus Workbench

FreeCAD is used to design projects, and there are a number of assembly workbenches that will allow you to assemble a complex design from a number of components. We use the A2Plus workbench, and this is a basic introduction that will show you how to:

- Install the workbench
- Import single and multiple components
- What degrees of freedom mean
- Use the PlaneCoincident constraint
- Delete constraints

This video is not a thorough examination of the A2Plus workbench but it will give you enough information to get started using the workbench. Future videos will teach you more about the A2Plus workbench.
