Oh, AutoDesk…you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

      Every time I’ve used FreeCAD it felt miserable to use. Idk if I was doing something wrong, but it felt horrendous

        I’ve used it for the past year, and no - you aren’t doing anything wrong. Had the same experience, and the privilege to compare it to Solidworks. There is no contest, other than price ofc

      IMHO its because the software lack a lot of polish. At times i found FreeCAD is better that fusion. But for the amount of pain it takes to get the software to work, it makes me want to look elsewhere.

      But man are the tools in freecad good, when they work. Just wish it was multithreaded

      FreeCAD is soooo shitty. The history breaks all the time - small changes introduce so many issues you might just be better off by starting over.
