FreeCAD has come a long way and most of the problems here have been solved. There is also a lot of improvement in UI and UX. Of course, the biggest improvement is the integrated assembly workbench. I recommend you try version 1.0.
Intro
FreeCAD is a full featured open source parametric modelling CAD, and the only open alternative for professional CAD (at least for professionals that look for a similar feature set than in privative software).
FreeCAD can be extended in many ways thanks to the concept of workbenches, but the most common ones are
Part design
(parametric modelling) andAssembly 3 or 4
(for mechanical integration of parts).Requirement notes
Part design
workbench provide non-destructive parametric modelling.Assembly 3
workbench (also authored by Realthunder, but available in the standard FreeCAD) is a very powerful assembly solution, and the most common workflow for assembly within FreeCAD.
