The state of FreeCAD after the 1.1 release is absolutely excellent! EDIT: Just read your full question. Anyway, after your done with this project, I highly suggest the migration. I recently did it and am not looking back. I just exported all my Fusion designs as step files and can open them in FreeCAD, though not wothbthe full parametric history.

I’ll have to try it again at some point. I found it kinda brutal last time I tried it, and was gonna just try the blender plugin that adds some parametric features next time If things have improved I guess I’ll have to give it another go at some point

Thanks for the tip. Just watched a bunch of 1.1 tutorial videos and it actually seems like it could be a better workflow for my use cases than Fusion, plus it also does BIM. I’m nearly at the end of my journey to boycott Adobe and Autodesk for good. I dropped 3dsmax for Blender a while back after Autodesk attempted to audit me. They demanded I download an app that would collect detailed information about my computer, so I said go fuck yourself, uninstalled and canceled my paid subs, then downloaded Blender and besides missing V-ray and Forestpack, has been a much better experience.

that’s what I’m definitely doing after this project, I’m tired of proprietary software and fusion is the last thing
