    Just use FreeCAD! \s

    Although you can do things in it. There’s also OpenSCAD but I have never done anything complex in it and I can’t imagine it being used in a professional environment.

      Yeah, until they get significantly better i don’t see professionals using anything other than autocad or civil3d. Maybe if governments required dxf instead of dwg for deliverables, but even then, until the alternatives offer a better experience i don’t see anything changing.

        I could imagine there being a cause for FreeCAD if it ever gets accepted as the “we don’t want to pay for AutoCAD” solution in some less developed nation education system.

        On a more optimistic note, it does seem to be improving with time. Maybe one day it’ll have the Blender transformation happen to it.
