I really want to love this software to break free of Solidworks and completely cut off Windows. That said, the UI needs some kind of overhaul to be a little more beginner friendly. I spent way too much time just trying to make a washer for a simple print. Are there any mods I can try to get it closer to work like Solidworks?

Ooh, looks interesting. I'm coming from SolidWorks as well. This looks like a fork of a fork? How stable is it?

I've been using it for a while now and to mee it seems as stable as FreeCAD itself. It only crashes when I do something very complicated on my old laptop.

Thanks for the recommendation. What do you prefer about it over basic FreeCAD or RealThunder? How close is it to Solidworks? Does it include the concept of "rollback"?
