    People just starting out might. Especially if they don’t get liscensed from their schools or jobs.

    FreeCAD is way too complicated to pick up compared to other options, IMO, but they’ve always had a strong and loyal community

      I just watched a tutorial video. Once I figured out how sketching works a lot of other tasks became easier to figure out and intuit.

      I do think knowledge is disorganized, said knowledge is out of date and a lot of included legacy workbenches are offered which adds to initial confusion and the errors aren’t very helpful.

      I use the linktree branch though. Prior to learning freecad I also worked primarily in a codeCAD library in golang which probably helped with understanding basic operations.
