Ask HN: How does modern FreeCAD compare with Solidworks?
30 by ActorNightly | 17 comments on Hacker News.
Its been a while since I have touched Freecad, and would like to go open source for my Cad projects, but the last time I used it it was severely lacking in features compared to Solidworks. The main thing Im looking for is parametric modeling. The use case is basically sketches with constraints -> parts -> assembly with constraints -> drawings that show driven dimentions. I have the time to learn it, but I don't want to be writing custom python scripts to do the above.
