Wanted to share this since this was a long Project. Since Autodesk started changing Fusions functionality, from limiting active projects, to changing their terms of service. Since I need a CAD tool for my 3D Printable designs, I started migrating to a new cross platform CAD tool. That happened to be FreeCAD.
Learning FreeCAD wasn’t easy, but was well worth my time. And after slowly pecking at it for 11 months, I was able to re-build every design I made (that I cared about).
I’ve made my 3D Printable designs available on my GitHub if you are interested: https://github.com/the16bitgamer/16BitVirtualStudiosDesigns
You mean, that? https://youtu.be/x7_KgeLOcKY?feature=shared

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
No, I meant even easier, In a single (more complex) sketch, I can’t just reference another dimension by clicking on it (as far as I know at least)
Oh, I think I understand. I generally select a bunch of things and use https://wiki.freecad.org/Sketcher_ConstrainEqual and never thought of selecting the dimensions directly. That sounds like a good idea/convenience indeed :)
yeah that works, but if you want a+20mm or a*1.5 etc, doesn’t work so well.
Yup, absolutely, it’s a good idea. Did you think of creating a feature request on their bug tracker? https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues
No, I’m not even sure that this feature doesn’t currently exist
