    I’m glad you found something that works for you but there’s really no reason to put down anyone’s effort and hard work. Freecad may be rough around the edges but it’s put cad in more peoples hands then Autodesk ever well.

      Well that is patently untrue, lol - I don’t use CAD Sketcher, I pirate Solidworks and am working on moving to Plasticity.

      https://www.youtube.com/c/MakerTales – This guy has a lot of good tutorials on both if you want to use something that will let you be productive, instead of using open source simply for the sake of using open source. (Even then, CAD Sketcher is a better bet)

        …is what people say when they have any kind of proof of the otherwise.

          The burden of proof is on you my friend. You made the claim. Back it up? It’s hilarious you’re using this line of reasoning when the burden of proof so squarely lies in the person making the claim in the first place.

              That’s what I thought, thanks for playing. Currently Autodesks products sit at something like 6.6m+ users and counting. Additionally, Autodesk has taken over universities and is likely more peoples first introduction to CAD in the first place. Your claim holds no water whatsoever. You are delusional if you think FreeCAD of all things has touched more people than the commercial products. Even Blender, with its incredible capabilities can’t be said to have gotten more people into 3D modeling, etc than commercial offerings like Maya, taught in schools everywhere. And I say this with the whole-hearted belief that Blender is better in every way to the commercial offerings.
