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.
I had one or two crashes in the two years of frequent use (few times a week for multiple hours) on arch linux, lately I’ve been using weekly appimages and they crash a lot more.
I’ve always used the stable AppImages, on Fedora previously, Bazzite now, the crashes have reduced, but they’re still frequent, especially (but not exclusively) when working on large assemblies.
