    Bruh I hate freecad too but it doesn’t need to be a 100% carbon copy of Fusion. You probably used it a bunch and got used to how it works, but expecting every piece of software to work the same is kinda weird.

      The silly thing is, I wasn’t talking about fusion at all. I don’t even use Fusion, but here I can add it to the list of all the other CAD software that understands workflow.

      I was talking about OnShape, Solidworks, Seimens Solid Edge, Inventor, Alibre, Plasticity, SketchUp, you name it. ALL other CAD software works this way. Because that’s the logical workflow… I’ve used them all, and the first time using them is a pain - for sure. FreeCAD is the only one that I KEEP coming back to, because I WANT them to get it right and they never do. I can use all of the other ones I just mentioned, with nary a hiccup in speed.

      FreeCAD has been in development for 22 years. Over 2 decades to get this shit right…

      If you are actively hampering your users ability to get work done, then your software is shit. If you refuse to acknowledge that everyone is telling you that you need to hammer out these “Death by 1000 papercuts” instances, then your passion will never gain understanding and a following.

      Go look at the commit history for the Realthunder branch: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/commits/master/

      Then go look at the commits for FreeCAD: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commits

      Notice anything? Realthunder is working on problems. FreeCAD is working on, moving functions around…it literally looks like someone shuffling papers in and out of the same 2 piles to make it look like they’re working. And people should call them out on it.
