I mean seriously, I would never expect so much functionality even from a paid proprietary software. This is truly amazing.

There’s a CAD plugin?? I’m a mechanical engineer and am sick and tired of getting ripped off by CAD programs. Not even gonna waste my time w freecad tho

Yeah, CAD Sketcher is nice for what it is. It doesn't quite turn Blender into CAD; but having constraints, dimensions, etc is really nice. I find I can badly use blender with CAD Sketcher, better than I can trod through figuring out WHY TF FreeCAD isn't working this time... or what new toolbar bullshit I need to install to get geometry to create the way it's created in every other CAD package on the market.

I found Plasticity really good too. Blender controls, but a good geometry solver, great filleting engine, just overall a great package without a monthly subscription.
