Not that it’s much to brag about, or that I’m rare for having done so, but I definitely called this one. I am really not sure how they ever really thought FreeCAD just needed Cloud PDM to make a dent in the commercial market. Hell, part of me wonders if the devs actually believed that, or if this was all a low-grade Robin Hood grift to plow some VC resources into FreeCAD for a couple of years. 🤣

    Damn. They will be missed. Their improvements to the sketcher actually made FreeCAD viable IMO.

      I think everything except the PDM itself has been submitted to the upstream project. I had some stability and other issues that led me in a another direction (Alibre), but the weekly builds should look and act a lot like Ondsel if you use the OpenDark theme and preference pack.

    Well, damn! Ondsel ES was what made my transition from F360 that much easier. Really hoping I can fly FreeCAD 1.0 as easily as I could Ondsel. Grabbing RC1 now… 🤞

      I understand if you grab an RC build and use the OpenDark theme and the associated preference pack, it should get you most of the way there.
