Nothing, just some users with sore butts because they’re trained on AutoCAD. We need more Unis to train students with FreeCAD, and this issue will go away.

It sounds like the Swiss government is forcing all State funded engineers to use FOSS, so in curious if that means they’ll all switch to FreeCAD

FreeCad is just OK, but it doesn’t do what pro CAD tools do. I say that as a person that truly believes in opensource, but has also tried all major CAD tools since 1991 onward. There is so much money behind a pro tool, that the freeCads of the world can’t compete
