Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoThe Ondsel project seems to have died. Their apparent business model was they were going to bolt cloud shit around FreeCAD. Hilariously stupid business model but at least some of the money they wasted went to open source software. They shook out a few of the open source tumors, like the sketcher now has a semi-intelligent dimension tool, I think they tackled the topological naming problem and we’ve finally got an official Assembly workbench that even sort of works I guess. But it’s still FreeCAD and if something can be unintuitive, it will.

Yeah, it explicitly states Ondsel is EOL in the article, as well as the theme they used (maybe?), which is in the video. The repack or whatever I heard about years ago, specifically mentioned in the description that it retooled non-standard workflow in FreeCAD. I keep thinking Tommy’s pack or something like that was the name, but it’s 5 minutes of my life from years ago when this field was just starting to be less important to me. 🤷♂️
