I kinda just hold it all in my head and fix stuff when I notice it’s broken.

Curious how they define professional use, like my work desktop is windows, but all the servers are rhel

Aaah aaaaaaaaah aaaAaaaah aaaaaaaaah aaaAaaaah fuck this shit, fuck it all fuck it fuck it fuck it.

Which workbench do you mean? Are you okay with basic sketch/extrude, part design works well enough, but as you say constraints can be a pain. Tbh just assume you’re working with the points for the most part - polylines work fine for slightly more complicated shapes.

My “formal” CAD training was Dassault Systeme’s CATIA V5 training manual, so I tend to default back to that. For basic geometries, use basic polygon shapes/combinations of those, for anything more complex I tend to use a polyline and sketch out a rough shape, then fully constrain to the dimension I need. If the geometry goes all to hell then stop and just use the mouse to grab a point and pull it back to where it should be before you go any further and then constrain it. (My sketches tend to be noisy with constraints just FYI).

Mangojelly’s guides on YouTube will get you pretty far (though he doesn’t constrain as much as I personally would, I suspect this is just because he’s demoing techniques rather than giving best practice at all times. he knows the software/techniques super well and is great at explaining it).

Based on Mango’s recent video there are a ton of enhancements for sketcher constraints on the latest dev branch, so hopefully they’ll be on main soon too.

If it’s assembly constraints, the only assembly workbench I’ve used is assembly3 - it works kind of how you’d expect an assembly workbench to work, but you do need to hold its hand a bit. I’ve gotten into the habit of, import as step, rename part, add to list of parts, use linear translation with the mouse to get the part roughly where it needs to be and then start applying constraints to put it where I want it.

FreeCAD is definitely getting there. Not 100% ready for prime time, but definitely getting there.

Not a USer, what I find utterly bonkers is seeing clips of them discussing the dark Brandon conspiracy on fox news, like it’s real and relevant political discourse. Wtaf is wrong with that portion of you population.

I don’t imagine the microplastics are great either tbh.

I’m all for reducing jobs, tax the hell out of the owners of the means of production.

I. AM. A. SOVEREIGN. CITIZEN.

No, because you come off like a Ben Shapiro fan.

Just think what that says about you for a sec.

Yeah, there are most certainly issues that seem to be more man specific in the world today, higher suicide rate/male mental health (not saying women don’t have mental health issues or minimising them, it just seems to be an issue more significantly impacting men ATM), toxic masculinity, even dealing with a perceived lack of power/impotence in society and obviously men’s health issues.

Just so long as it doesn’t become one of those weird “mens rights” women bashing things.

GNU pTerry

Nah, Firefox went through a buggy resource hungry slow period for sure. Chrome was miles better, I’m making the jump back. I kind of have been by default on Ubuntu, but I’ll probably switch on phone too.

Longing for what you can never have, alas

I just like the rush of being jammed back into the seat for take off

The publisher? The business types?

How many dev teams have a kernel dev on them?
