I'd like to hear more about this.  I tried the VERY latest
FreeCAD a couple months ago and it seemed to have some
problems.  So, we then went with Inventor (Autodesk).  That
works pretty well, ...
And i also expect it's rather expensive, or?


Work is a University, so they have a site license.

I have no idea what Inventor costs, but I can imagine it is expensive. FreeCAD is clearly meant to be a drop-in replacement for Inventor, but I had problems with it. I also have had a LOT of problems learning Inventor, it is plenty complicated.
