What CAD software are you all using? (hexbear.net)

I usually use FreeCAD but lately the constraints solver just feels kinda buggy, crapping out on even fairly simple geometries.

FreeCAD is honestly quite well suited to the 3D modeling I do. Geometrically constructed shapes. Rather utilitarian designs. But it just doesn't work very well.

What else is there?

Do I need to learn OpenSCAD?

I started with tinkerCAD and now I use fusion 360 free version. Learning the functions takes time, but there’s pretty much one for every action you may need. Like photoshop.
