It’s very quirky compared to Fusion360. If they made it at least a little bit smoother to use, at least for my tastes in CAD Software; I would be all in.
Yeah I am having too much friction getting Fusion360 to work on my Linux Mint, I know there are methods but with the registration as a hobbyist and using a container… Got too much, you can blame me as a user not being invested enough to get it working, and installed FreeCAD from the Linux store hassle free.
The quirks I can work around, sometimes it makes me go back and redesign another iteration to avoid the quirk and then also improve my design as a bonus
Same for me. I got a 3D printer and was more interested in downloading files than creating my own. But when I got into FreeCAD it opened a world of customisation.
It took me a long time to learn and I’m still learning, like ensuring I’m constraining in a way which allows resizing later on in the design.
I use it regularly for my 3d printer, nice simple software, but be warned it has quirks…
Still able to do 90% of the stuff I want to do

I haven’t had any luck with Fusion360 and bottles lately. I saw the installer once after some tinkering and the program never launched.
Granted, I’ve recently had all of my bottles stop working for some reason, despite not changing anything.
Yeah learning freecad was a huge pain. Hiwever it does support most things so at least the featureset is good.
