All the others you listed are very similar to solidworks and no problem. FreeCAD decided sketching should be completely different. I can barely even draw a line and I don't understand how that's possible.

Why does it surprise you much that FreeCAD isn't like SW? And why do you think it should be?

[-] oyo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Because solidworks is the gold standard in the space and is intuitive for millennials that grew up on computers. It mirrors other software that came before in terms of super basic stuff like how to draw a damn line. If you're going to do a big swing and change the paradigm with a fundamentally better way, it better be really good for a really good reason.

You just want to be angry and complain about something don't you. Either get over it and learn to use FreeCAD or don't. But whinging is unproductive and useless.
