I mean those like that, i did this one manually, but it was quite an annoying process, is there any tool in freecad that can help with these situations?

I have equality between all these lines, but it was still not so pleasant

Linear pattern is the way to go. Just make one notch and pocket it, then repeat it with the pattern. You can specify the number of iterations and their spacing from each other, and adjust it whenever.

Happy to help. Freecad can really seem like arcane magic at first, but it does get better. These videos helped me a lot.

You can use translate to speed up this process.

Easier than having to remake the same sketch over and over again

edit: It's sort of complicated looking at first but it is useful to learn
