FreeCAD Assembly4 and animation the easy way

In this video we will create an assembly from parts designed in Part Design. I wanted to simulate the assembly as if I had created the parts separately then decided I wanted to create an assembly from them. We show you how to "import" the parts from separate files and use them within the assembly. We also cover the creation of local coordinate systems (LCS) to position everything. Finally we show the simple method of animating the parts within the assembly using variables.
