Yes, I would like to use freecad. And for reference I love blender and use it almost daily. The freecad interface and work flow just kind of bounce me off them so far. I can sculpt, model, paint, rig and edit video in blender. Right now getting started making a basic part in freecad seems like black magic.
Maybe your brain just isn't wired to use it(yet), my experience with blender and other 3d modeling software was like black magic, and cad software was at least transparent.
Possible. In free cads defense I started learning blender in 1996. Didn't really get proficient till 2012 lol. Though I have used AutoCAD fine. But that was way back in 1994 under DOS.
