    I used to use AutoCAD years ago, but I haven’t used a CAD program since then. Are those 4 projects all aiming to fill the same space? And if so, why do you continue using your third favorite?

      I use FreeCAD if there’s something I want to mess around with off the clock. The other 3 cost exorbitant amounts of money that only businesses can afford. I think student versions might exist for some but it’s easier to just have a CAD program free and clear.

        Gotcha! I thought maybe they were all FLOSS projects.

          No, sadly, freecad is the only Foss cad software and honestly it’s pretty sucky.
