Does FreeCAD handle constrained assemblies yet? You can't kneecap students while making the argument that their participation will make the tool better for some

Does FreeCAD handle constrained assemblies yet? You can't kneecap students while making the argument that their participation will make the tool better for someone else, maybe, in the future.
- solarman5000 6y agoYes, it does, admittedly not as smooth as solidworks. FreeCAD has come a LONG way recently. With more users, it will just get better and better. Suppose it doesn't though, I don't agree that it is knee capping students. My school started teaching CAD in 10th grade, and at that point you are just learning the basics like GD&T, so it isnt that important if the CAD package can make 1000 part assemblies and sub assemblies. You can teach all the basics with FreeCAD, no problem
- JamesCoyne 6y agoAll the assembly workbenches are external, doesn't count in my mind. You're right, FreeCAD can handle the basics nicely. I was coming at this with my experience from university, where I don't think FreeCAD is good enough yet. I want FreeCAD to be better; I financially support the development in a small way.
