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, but can be very complicated for an
occasional user.
I'm thinking maybe that I should not have tried the very
latest release of FreeCAD, and maybe let the new bugs get
fixed first. So, what version are you using? What source
of info did you find to learn to use it?
Thanks,
Jon
On which system are you having trouble?
I use Freecad version 16 on debian, I have designed a cnc machine with
it, but I do not use the included cam module which is at first stage I
think
I downloaded ver 0.17, which was only a couple days old when
I got it. Probably I SHOULD have tried with ver 0.16 I
will have to try that at home and see if I do better.
