Going through tutorial 2 I took the below notes - this is nitpicking level, but I thought you might be interested in this anyway.

Variables:

  • typo in screen shot: Disk_pivot instead of Dist_pivot
  • it would make sense to take the screens shot showing the first variable "Angle_disk"

Sketch:

  • the LCS of the Assembly is called LCS_Origin (in FreeCAD 0.20.1)

Base part:

  • it is not obvious how the sketches of the three bodies shall be created (Assembly > Create Sktech or Part Design > Create Sketch) and which support / attachment they should have. Since otherwise you put a lot of attention in the attachment, you might leave a short note here. I created the sketch using the "Part Design > Create Sketch" and used XY plane, which did work.

General comments:
. very useful and to the point tutorial

  • I adjusted the heights of the parts right when creating the bodies by adjusting the sketch attachments. I guess this is not the way things should be done, so you might want to mention this when creating the bodies / sketches for the parts.

Good points, I'll try to update the tutorial with your comments ... unless you have some spare time and you could make an update, with screenshots and all ?

I can do the 20.X update. I would change it such that it reflects FreeCAD 20.X only but leave a note in tutorial 1 that things are named differently in older versions.

I have more difficulties saying something intelligent about the sketch creation / attachment, since I don't really know what the differences are. IMHO someone who knows the implementation should leave a few words on this.
