FreeCAD 1.1 is out - Lemmy.World

Get it while it’s hot! New goodies to use and an improved UI for users.

coming from a company that used solidworks, i’ve always found trying to use freecad infuriating, even moreso after onshape came out and i saw what could be done even in a web browser. but seeing as it’s foss, i’ll keep trying it every release.
It’s improving faster. It’s still a frustrating, crashy experience, but it’s getting better quickly, hopefully it reached critical mass and will do Blender.
Reading this I can’t tell if you are talking about solidworks or freeCAD. JK but man solidworks is still one of the buggiest programs. If you use solidworks though the Solidworks error report screen is just part of the experience. Still I believe the gold standard for design software out there over NX, AutoCAD, and CATIA.
I went from SOLIDWORKS to FreeCAD and I miss the former a lot, I think I’m objectively 5 times slower on FreeCAD, but alas, SOLIDWORKS is not supported on Linux and not open source, so I must endure.
I recommend watching that channel, because that guy is faster in FreeCAD than I could ever be in Fusion360.
What channel?
