Anyone had any luck with FreeCAD tutorials?

PartialDischarge:
I noticed FreeCAD 0.20 was released on June 2022, any comments about its stability and general use?

AndyC_772:
Ooh, I'll take a look at that, thanks.

I don't suppose they've fixed the topological naming problem yet? (That's the reason why going back to an earlier step in a model and making a small change ends up with the whole thing twisted into a shape even Escher would have nightmares about).

hubi:
I have not had any crashes with any of the 0.20 versions I have used. The only minor issue I have with it is that for larger parametric models, the spreadsheet editor can be come somewhat slow to respond. It seems like the entire model is updated for every character entered, even if no parameter is changed.

Have a look at Realthunder's fork here: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD
It solves the topological naming problem, and has many other goodies. I have been using his fork in lieu of the main releases for quite a while now.

I see this thread is bit older but the new FreeCAD version refreshed it. I just wanted to add that Solid Edge has bullshit-free community edition that is free of charge. Lifetime and with no cloud. I know we talk about FreeCAD but not everyone knows that there is a reasonable alternative.
It is not as good (straight forward) as Autodesk products but it is also miles ahead of FreeCAD. Altough I love opensource, I could not stand FC. It is hostile.
