No issues with Freecad here and I am on linux + Nvidia!
Are you sure that your system is up to date? are drivers ok?
Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?
dodos@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoFreeCad was crashing on average every two minutes when I tried using it last month. I really want to like it but crashes need to be toned down…

Well, it definitely isn’t suppose to be THAT bad. I can get a crash every half an hour or even longer. Usually for no apparent reason - like when I want to sketch on a face and the app switches from PartDesign workbench to sketcher or wise versa. And then after restart that doesn’t happen again. That is annoying, has been happening for ages and would really like it to be fixed. But it’s not every few minutes, more like half an hour to an hour.

I have had FreeCAD crash apparently because of something I did. Like it couldn’t handle some operation and couldn’t fail gracefully.

Maybe use a release and not a weekly build?

Install the stable versions not the developer versions. Freecad is seriously good. I’m using both freecad and NX on a project. NX for drawings because freecad still chokes on drawings. But its getting better for drawings. We’ll be fully jumping to freecad soon.

I’ve been using it for months now and I had zero crashes. Is this a platform thing or just because I’m mostly only using the parts menu?
dodos@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Possibly, it mainly crashed dealing with sketches.
