How to find Tutorial video for using dxf or pictures to create new geometry?

in Using Onshape
I remember an excellent video showing how to position, scale, and then use dxf for new geometry creation.  I think the part was something like a shiv and was presented by an Onshape staff member like Phillip or Neil..   I have done searches through on-line videos and the forum.  Hope someone can help.

    No.  That gives a start date to look though.  The video goes in depth on positioning dxf views on different planes.  It runs maybe 10 minutes and was not by Cody.

    @noa or others -  Does this show every video that is available or is there another way to see more?

    @bruce_williams that link does show all videos that we have across our website. There are others that are part of our learning center, but I don't think the video you are referring to is there.

    @noa - Do you think a video like that would have been temporary or deleted?

    Sorry Bruce, I've asked around here a bit too and we're not sure what video you're referencing. If we posted it previously, we likely would not have taken it down.

    @NeilCooke -  Exactly!  Thank you kindly!   That is a really slick way to manage the conversion.   I was beginning to think I dreamed it. 

    @noa -  I have to remember to check out Blog since those videos are not included in the Website videos correct?  The Blogs are challenging to find something; I count ~280 and only can search on the titles.
