The FreeCAD Beginner Assistant gives interactive feedback on best practices for beginning FreeCAD users. It does it by analysing a FreeCAD FCStd-file containing at least one part made with the Part Design and Sketcher workbenches and gives real-time or asynchronous feedback, based on best practices, on what was done well and what can be improved by the user.
