This is the introductory tutorial. We review the basic user interface,
and draw a simple 2d part. This covers rectangles, symmetry constraints,
distance/length constraints, and equal length constraints.
We draw a slightly more complex part, by combining multiple extrusions.
This introduces workplanes and Boolean ops, and several new constraints.
We look at constraints in more detail. This covers inconsistent
and nonconverging sketches (two common error conditions), projected
constraints in 3d, reference dimensions, and construction geometry.
We look at step and repeat; this takes entities, and copies them multiple
times along a line (translating) or the arc of a circle (rotating). The
details of the step are specified using constraints.
We build an assembly from multiple parts. The positions and orientations
of the parts are enforced using constraints. We run a computed
intersection check, to verify that the parts don't interfere.
We draw linkages and other mechanisms, and simulate their operation using
the constraint solver. The trajectory of certain points on the linkage
is traced and exported. We also attach a linkage to a solid model,
and animate the solid model by dragging the linkage.
