Ondsel

They are really putting in the work to make FreeCAD not suck. I was a SolidWorks pro and still found FreeCAD quite unintuitive to use. Ondsel has fixed a lot of those issues… looking at you dimensioning tool. It also “just works” on Linux which is really nice (a friend tried on windows and not so much lol)

I often want to try to follow the rule but my app won’t let me upload images :(

Those glasses do be having drip tho

Gave me real volcano manor energy

I’ve found Ubuntu and steam to just work with very little need to ever open the terminal (aside from setting up mic noise canceling w/ speakers). Most stuff that you install via terminal has its own guide. GPT / stack overflow can fill in most other gaps.

A JS enjoyer I see

I found the skill set pretty transferable from FreeCAD (albeit much more usable). That being said I had used solidworks for long time prior.

Main thing I would say is to make sure you are in the relevant workbench and use the tasks menu (starts on the right of the screen)

Ondsel is great. It is an engineering focused branch of freecad. They have solved a lot of the issues and have made the UI/UX a lot smoother.

Finally libre cad that actually is usable!

Who on da left?

It must grow.

Try a KVM switch, pretty cheap and very worth it
