Tracing a picture with LibreCAD - tutorial 7 part 2
Channel: Gary Fox
Date: 2012-06-26

This is part 2 of the 7th Tutorial on LibreCAD. In addition to showing how to trace a drawing, I show how the spline function can act as the limiting entity with the extend function.  I also show how the ellipse function operates and some about the concentric circle and parallel line function.  

A lot of time is spent discussing how LibreCAD attaches the picture to the drawing file and avoiding possible "gotchas".   At the very end of the video I discuss how I have used photographs in actual drawings in professional work.  I show how to use the ellipse function to draw a circular object viewed at an angle other than directly in-front of the circle.

If you enjoyed this video you probably are a person interested in creating and making things. Please consider visiting my site and seeing what else I have to offer as well as some additional information about CAD and dxf files.  http://create-and-make.com/welcome/
