Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
The biggest problem for me right now is FreeCADs control scheme is atrocious. Trying to use it to do even basic shit takes forever because it’s not intuitive at all. Even when I pick the option that’s supposed to be closest to Fusion360 (which is what I’m used to). I shouldn’t have to google how to select things because left clicking does nothing. The other stuff I’ve tried so far has been relatively painless but that app pisses me off so bad every time I touch it.
I can second this.
Like, holy shit guys, why can’t we call it “Extrude” like literally every other CAD program does? Don’t be different solely for the sake of being different. It just makes it harder for people to switch.
