    I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the 1.0 of freecad.

    I don’t use CAD professionally, and even my hobby usage is less than it was, and it was only a dozen or two small projects.

    I had never used freecad, always fusion 360. I’ve been away for awhile, and also switched to Linux in the meantime. I needed to make a simple object, and tried freecad 1.0, and I literally could not intuit how to begin. Not a single shape, I was so lost, it was very frustrating.

    I tried onshape and got a bit further, but still don’t like the corporate nature of it.

    I’m not trying to slam freecad, I really want it to work, and when I have more time to sit down and study it, I want to try again. But in the meantime I went back to fusion 360 in a VM, which was very sluggish, but at least I knew where everything was.
