So as not to hijack Tom's OnShape thread, I started one for FreeCAD.
Another free 3D CAD program I've been playing around with is FreeCAD. So far, I like it better than Fusion 360.

Downloading the source now. I think I tried building it once before but that was on the old machine that was dying. We'll see how it goes.
Took a couple of days but I finally have a working FreeCAD. Too late tonite to check it out, tomorrow or the next day will tell.
How the heck do you use it?

Vinny,
What OS are you building it for?
Ed
Debian Linux Wheezy. It's the one version they didn't build for. I'm also going to have to check out the links you posted. Last nite I got as far as Sunset did!
Last night I installed a new second hard drive since the old one was crapping out. I decided to install Linux Mint on it. So far, I like it a lot. Luckily they had a version of FreeCAD for it so I'm up and running with FreeCAD on Linux.

YAY!!! You'll probably get spoiled and never look at windoze again. BTW, OpenOffice aka LibreOffice aka ... is a really nice office suite fully compatible with the MS suite. Which desktop did you choose, Gnome, KDE, ... ?
