  FreeCAD is pretty much useless, it still doesn’t have basic modelling features like fillets, chamfers, etc.

    This isn’t true? Fillets and chamfers are available in the PartDesign workbench.

      Can you apply them to your drawings/sketches?

        I’m not sure about chamfer (I haven’t used it in my sketches) but fillet is definitely included in the Sketcher workbench.

    That’s not true. FreeCAD can do those things just fine. In fact, I have been able to do every single thing in FreeCAD that I used to do in Fusion360. There is a learning curve, but FreeCAD is extremely capable.

      The problem with FreeCAD is that the UI is abysmal. There is tons of duplicate functionality in different benches, but if you start in one you might discover that it doesn’t have what you need and have to start over in another.
