Manuale di riferimento per Sketcher
Introduzione
L'utente chrisb ha scritto un lungo manuale di riferimento di 70 pagine per Sketcher che tratta molti argomenti relativi all'uso di questo ambiente. Per gli utenti inesperti, si tratta di un'introduzione che copre l'uso di base di Sketcher, quindi approfondisce la creazione di elementi geometrici e l'utilizzo di ogni tipo di vincolo.
Il manuale è in costante evoluzione, in quanto alcune sezioni vengono riviste e aggiornate in base allo sviluppo che si verifica in Sketcher. Il manuale originale è stato scritto per FreeCAD 0.17, poi è stato aggiornato per 0.18 e ora per 0.19. L'ultimo manuale è disponibile nel forum, Tutorial di Sketcher.
Due to the evolving nature of the manual, the document is also known as the "Sketcher lecture".
