OSNAP.No CAD is really simple but freecad can do everything you need.
You said it... After a few hours I think I drew everything wrong. At least I can't figure out how to assemble the parts. One guy has about 40 U/T videos on how to use it. Each about half hour long. Something else I need to learn. It would be nice to have it on my I know how to do list. If I live that long.I had to use FreeCAD for a project a few years ago for a customer who insisted on receiving all data in native FreeCAD. I think I could have done a better job using an Etch-A-Sketch and a Polaroid camera. I should have just gotten out my drafting board and hand drawn everything after the fact.
3 years of drafting in high school. I was/am good at it.. but I haven't used it in decades. That was back before there were computers. Or at least before computers were common for drafting. I still have all my drafting tools somewhere. 6h pencil anyone??Took many years/hours in highschool and college. Use to be pretty decent and LOVED 3D. Now I would be lucky to draw a straight line. We used autodesk/auto cad back then.
We had a semester on the table to learn the basics. That was as far as you could go on the boards. Off to the computers it was from there on out.3 years of drafting in high school.

Most of the online stuff is way high tech for simple projects. Easier to bring out pencil and paper.
I was pretty good. I think all As. As long as it wasn't freehand everything looked good. Except the arrow heads. They were free hand. I think Mr. Zolman is still rolling over in his grave thinking about them!! Rest his soul.We had a semester on the table to learn the basics. That was as far as you could go on the boards.

I am sure Mr. Leeke probably has nightmares about our class as well!I was pretty good. I think all As. As long as it wasn't freehand everything looked good. Except the arrow heads. They were free hand. I think Mr. Zolman is still rolling over in his grave thinking about them!! Rest his soul.
A lot of the freeware is proprietary and won't export in a usable extension.
