The highest form of wizardry.

Oh God, how do I chamfer an edge?

Freecad is so awful though. It breaks all the time and forces you to do things "their way" instead of being flexible. I don't like having to use it :/

FreeCAD is still in development, Expect bugs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The initial release was in 2002. There is a point where you can't use the "we're still making it" excuse anymore.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

FreeCAD is a complicated program, providing BIM, CAD, and FEM. These and the topological naming problem is why it's taking a long time to develop.

Sure, that excuse is "old", but FOSS is suseptable to stalls/drops when creating complicated programs. (Take Xonotic, still at 0.8.x).

Okay, so why do I as a user am supposed to expect bugs in 20 year old software? I simply won't use it and instead use the industry standard. Yaknow, which doesn't have those problems and is actually finished.

When a company is on the line, you don't work with something that just happens to not work right when you need it to. Excuses and explanations don't really interes you then.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Your're not. Move to another software or improve it. FreeCAD is nowhere near professinol so using it on a job is dangerous.

I use FreeCAD because Fusion360 is slow and annoying when exporting.

It's your choice to use FreeCAD or not, but shaming FreeCAD that the development is slow is painful.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

IDK what I am but that stupid hole wizard keeps casting a spell to make the program crash.
