CAD test debrief SCORE 85%

1) Installing Linux ~5 minutes I had used virtual box to load the OSE linux image. This was a very familiar task for me I do often on the job.

2) Learning FreeCAD (Most Difficult) 8 hours - I had issues finding the "planer constraints". when I tried to rotate a part, I was locked in the x,y axis and did not know why; took some searching to find. - Otherwise, I found freecad accomplished many tasks differently than AutoCAD or Sketchup, with which I am most familiar. The use of separate 2d "sketches" and embedding them to faces was similar to certain aspects of AutoDesk.


3) Documenting your work - 2 hours -I have used wiki's from time to time. Took a bit to re-learn the "red Text" concept that a new page is made as a link from a prior page. All content is linked.

-Had issues getting vokoscreen working, Resume functions did not work for that application. When I went to shorten my video, kdenlive was limited to 2000% speed increase, keeping my video at over 30 seconds.

Kdenlive dosn't allow speeding a video beyond 2000%. My capture was 30 minutes log, so I'm left with around a minute video. Either I find some creative way to speed up further, cut, or I need to redo the test with a "time limit"

Attached is the video I have so far, which is a minute or so long instead of the required 30 seconds.

Viewing the video, it also did not render properly. Checking this file I made from memory, I appear to of made some errors on the part layout. I'll redo the cube and shoot to do it in under 20 mins.

-Created this log entry and completed recording of the CAD test. This time, I was able to get vokoscreen to behave and successfully stored the video! now to learn how to edit it to the 30 second version and add the music track.

-Here is the YouTube Video of my full speed CAD test

1/12 to 1/26/2017

-Focused on installing OSE linux to a Virtual Box image to start working in freecad -Worked on learning freecad ~4days / 8 hours Initially, I had issues rotating objects until I learned how to use the planer constraint tool - I was locked to only a certain axis. I also took plenty of time understanding constraints and how to use them

-Created the cube several times. Vokoscreen would not start and stop correctly, so several recordings were lost
