Can’t even take a short break from 3D designing stuff. Glad I’m switching over to FreeCAD. All I wanted was to grab some dimensions from an old model.

    Give Solid Edge (from Siemens) a try. It has a free for hobby use edition. It’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with it, and none of the stupid restrictions of Fusion.

      Fusion 360 used to be free for the hobbyist too. FreeCAD is GPL licensed, so it will always be free.

        Last time I tried FreeCad it crashed just about every time I touched constraints. Is that still an issue?
