There is now a FreeCAD community on Lemmy.ml

Nice! More people using it is more better. Anything to prevent the inevitable enshittification of Fusion 360.
I haven't found a community on Lemmy for Solidworks and there is one for freeCAD?!?
- Not exactly surprising, lemmy users are pretty big on open source.
  
  pretty big on open source.
  
  Yeah, well we all make bad decisions once in a while.
  
  Still doesn't explain why no Solidworks community seeing as how it's the most used CAD program.
- Think about where you are. Solidworks costs many thousands of dollars for a licence. FreeCAD is free. Which one do you think the vast majority of Lemmy users would use?
  
  Solidworks.
  
  By far.
  
  It owns 1/4 of the CAD market all by itself. No one, and I mean no one, who uses CAD for a living is going to waste their time with FreeCAD.
- Id like to see solidworks community on lemmy
  
  Or oven better CAD modeling community.
Are you even allowed to post anything else than parametric 3D model of stalin?
- I could easily add a new rule if you'd like
  
  riodoro1 is only allowed to post parametric 3D models of Stalin
- Of course, you can also post a model of Lenin or Marx, or of the proletariat.
Thanks I've been looking for this
if only there were enough people using solid edge to have a community around it 😭
