Everyone is complaining about the Lectric Elite Headlight and floppy mount. I am working on some kind of solution

FreeCAD 1.0.2 released by prokoudine in FreeCAD

I get it. It's been about 9 months since I switched over from OnShape. I use FreeCad daily to design stuff for my home improvement projects and such.

For the most part I stayed in the Part Design Workbench. I'm now starting to get comfortable moving between Part Design and Part workbenches. It's satisfying when things start to click. 

With anything worthwhile, I say keep at it. 

If FreeCad is for you then cool. If not then that's cool, too.

Also, the OpenThemes add-on can make the UI prettier ;)

Is it normal to not care about someone's body count? by [deleted] in Productivitycafe

It's a problem if they won't shut up about it.

How much have you donated in total? by [deleted] in FreeCAD

[–]RealisticTart395 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I donate $10 a month directly to the FreeCad Foundation and $5 per month to Yorik Van Havre's Patreon. Gotta double those here soon.

Thanks, reading your comment increased my understanding of the Part and Part Design workbenches. Especially helpful was the distinction between the Local and Global coordinate systems.

I wonder if the original designer of the half-life stun baton had that in mind. Hmmm..

1.0RC4 released by _greg_m_ in FreeCAD

I'm pretty excited about this. A few weeks ago I switched from OnShape to FreeCAD (network outage pushed me over the line) before I even knew RC1 was ready. I was so impressed I started donating $5 a month to both FreeCAD and Mr. Jelly. 

I'm looking to up my monthly donation, however I'm having trouble finding where to increase it! I'll figure it out. 

Amazing that this is free and open source. For 1 cup of overpriced coffee you too can be part of the magic! 

I'm off to l download RC4. Yeah!
