Also, it’s insane that no decent CAD program has pricing for makers/hobbyists. It's either "here take our free, but very limited, awkward product" or "buy a subscription that costs $1500 per year".

Currently trying out various CAD programs to see which would be a good fit. Started with Shapr3D, but it doesn’t have parametric modeling. Moved to Onshape, but pricing is $1500 year and free version dictates that all my work is public domain (nope). Trying FreeCAD now, but I feel like I’m using a Linux tool from the ‘90s.
