They offer a discount $150 for 3 years the $680 full price. 😞 it was bound to happen.

    It’s the reason I jumped on a cheap solidworks license, was fully intending to use it as my primary cad package but I just found it kinda clunky. To be super fair, I recall using it years ago and it’s come a long way and I run it on my lab machine because Linux, but even not touching cad programs for almost a decade solidworks was just way easier to come back to.

        This is a result of the topological naming problem. FreeCAD currently doesn’t handle this well at all. There’s been a lot of work on this front though - you can use realthunder’s fork which should be a lot better in this regard. Alternatively, you can avoid creating features directly on top of other features, and instead make planes and reference them exclusively.

        The trick for me is constant forced refreshes

      Are you running solidworks on linux ?

      I’m interested because I need CAD for my business, I’m running fusion 360 with in a VM ad paying for the license but I would like to move away from it.

        Nah I’m not unfortunately, my desktop is running windows but everything else uses various flavours of debian.
