I would love FreeCAD to be a viable alternative to proprietary CAD tools. I'm a web developer so I know nothing about CAD but I recently joined CERN and I'm now working on a PLM to handle our 3M+ CAD documents (yes, building the LHC is huge. And there are even bigger things coming). As you may know, CERN loves open source and it's heartbreaking to have to pay dozens of thousands of euros to have Catia, AutoCAD and Revit available for our mechanical engineers, so what I'm wondering now as someone who never used a CAD tool is, a free alternatives so much behind? Looks like when you're building machines like the LHC, the answer is yes.
