### Design Files

All gathered in this **[REPO](https://gitlab.fabcloud.org/niclas-starost/dr4wbac_k)**.

## Notes

### FreeCAD 
-   drag and drop:
    -   when no modifier is held, moves the object
    -   **CTRL**: copies the object
    -   **ALT**: creates a clone of the object
-   use geometry from other object on current/new object 
    -   use 'shapebinder' on selected object and then draw a sketch on it
