@Crozekiel @bitfucker Maybe we should all just switch to FreeCAD (easier said than done).

I've tried it a few times, and like... it's frustrating because I can get so close, but the missing bit feels like an impenetrable wall. Like, I can occasionally make something, but it isn't anywhere near as nice of a model/part and it takes significantly longer to do. I tend to try it out again once every several months to see if new stuff makes it easier for me to use, but so far it hasn't been a great solution for me.

Hey, I heard they addressed the topological naming problem in the 1.0 release. I'm gonna follow Digikey's FreeCAD tutorial and see if it's as good as they say.
