![]() When I say DesignSpark is crippled, it's because while it is a true solid modeler, the ability to export to real CAD formats (STEP, IGES) has been stripped from it. I believe you can import many components sold by RS in DesignSpark. DesignSpark is licensed to RS Components, an electronics component supplier. ![]() That being said, for years before adopting FreeCAD, CAD was an interest of mine, and I continue keeping track of what's out there, even if not as closely as before.ĭesignSpark Mechanical is a crippled version of SpaceClaim, a commercial CAD solid modeler. FreeCAD is open source, and it tends to attract a lot of people with this kind of mindset. ![]() Then some of us will not (or try very hard not to) use a commercial program, even if it's free, for philosophical reasons. I have Windows 7 on my home PC but do not use it, in fact I plan on removing it from my PC soon. You will find that for many of us here, a Windows-only software is a show stopper, because we use one of the many available Linux distributions (some others use Macs). ![]()
