I love FreeCAD and i use everytime I can. It has an incredible range of features and is (becoming) stable enough. But, sadly, the world of CAD is fu¢{|Ng proprietary, if you are not 100% compatible with the Autodesk stuff nobody will ever consider using it on a production environment (e.g. architecture or construction). And off course, Autodesk does it’s best to keep file exchange uncomfortable
And it’s the reason of affordable licenses for students. Once students are used to the drug, they have no other choice to continue with the expensive workflow. And companies have to follow
I have used 5 or 6 different cad packages over the years and when I tried to pick up freecad it just didn’t make sense to me the way the other programs did.
What’s wrong with FreeCAD? You obviously need to learn a new workflow with it, but that’s true for all 3dCAD.
