It would have been nice to see you design the same shape in all the for mentioned CAD software. That way we would have a better idea of work flow.

Thanks for the review as it really cut a learning curve very quickly for this AutoCad user that cannot afford the expensive software. Now, on to your website.

Just adding that "sketchup make 2017" is an option it's old and not supported anymore but it's still powerful and it's a local program no need for internet connection.

I spend so much time googling every single thing I want to do in FreeCAD... It usually ends with me pretty much ragequitting after trying to make a sketch printable or something very basic for 5 hours of nonproductive research.

If anyone knows of a FreeCAD tutorial series for ACTUAL beginners, that actually explain workflows... I am all ears. Because of the options here. It seems like FreeCAD has all that I want it to do. But there's a brick wall type of impossible learning curve where it becomes so frustrating to decipher decades old UI-decisions that only make sense for CAD-designers with 50 years of experience with hieroglyphical sierra-moon-logic to every single task.

QCAD professional is not free, but is better than LibreCAD and NanoCAD, and is only $40. Good features at an excellent price.

I would not consider sketchup or onshape as a free tool because you can't download it. It's useless if I want something to do while I'm in an airplane traveling.

Designspark Mechanical, all the way. It is shining in its absence here.

Another con for FreeCAD is it's packed to the brim with bugs. FreeCAD is the most frustrating CAD modeling software I have ever used. However, it's the only one that has a wide range of tools that are pretty advanced to get recreate any model. Just expect when you have worked a week on a model, it can corrupt for no reason when coming back to it later.
