I have no idea how old you are, but being in my 40s and needing to get results quickly I don't really care to learn the minutia for whatever type of stamp collecting is important for the project I'm working on now.

No idea, I mostly use freecad and I've been told autocad has more tools. In freecard there are parametric tools which are very much like what was shown in the demo but in 3d. I tend to use script which render to openscad for the parts

LLMs aren't tech that can be free, the good ones are expensive enough that we have to move away from the malvertising economy that was supported by keyword searches. Here's hoping capitalism starts working again with subscriptions

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. That specialist interfaces make you productive? Sketchpad was just a cad tool, one of the first ones to be sure, but still a design tool. We have substantially better ones today: https

So does a video. Is a video open source if you're given the permissions to edit it? To distribute it? Given the files to generate it? What if the files can only be open in a proprietary program? Videos aren't software and neither
