![]() These products are designed with a profit motive. The second group is used to using products that were designed, from their inception, with, more or less, a holistic user experience and to be used in a commercial endeavor. The later includes learning what tools are used to translate ideas to models. They are not only learning how to think in multi dimensions and decimate imagined shapes, but also how to translate those shapes into a virtual world. The first group is in for a long learning curve, probably in any software. And, those who come from a background of having used some other (or multiple other) commercial programs. The completely new to CAD or even design in general. There are, essentially, two types of new users for FreeCAD. ![]() (Though, I'd note the responses he got there were typical and not makes a very good point.and for my $0.02: I am not saying FreeCAD is perfect (it's just great )īut I would be very wary of making changes to FreeCAD just to cater for those outside who don't give a shite for FreeCADĪs noted elsewhere, the OP had none of this in mind when he posted the results of his query on other social media. It is not as if FreeCAD has growth, market penetration or profitability targets? It doesn't matter if they do not (or why they do not) convert. ![]() I understand that rather as a look over the fence to get some ideas how to improve the user expierience for FreeCAD users, and not to attract new users. 10#p576762 or who indeed came from Fusion360 and was an example that Fusion users are not brainwashed, at least not all.īut all this is not what OP is about. It was quite refreshing on the other side to see new users here who just take FreeCAD as it is and make the best of it, see e.g. I sometimes have the feeling that far too much work went into explaining things to people who did not want to learn FreeCAD, but who wanted to have FreeCAD be like their favourite CAD system, which they were not willing to pay for. I used to be on the same track, thinking that the number of developers, helpers and documenters would increase by the same rate as the users. I don't understand where this obsession with attracting/converting new users or users of other CAD systems comes from?
