BluewingFreeCAD 1.1 is out
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.
I’m at about 130 models in FC 1.0 and have yet to see a crash. There are things TinkerCAD can do that Fusion 360 cannot, like import and edit a large STL.
Come on this just seem disingenuous, or extremely lucky. It’s great it’s out there but calling it stable is not one of them. Yesterday my freecad crashed for just closing a sketch that I didn’t even change and now all edge/face references are broken. (anyone a tip how to easily fix that? Doing it manually takes ages)
Ok. So apparently I did get crashes and never realized it. Thanks Lemmy!
