As a french, please don’t give a penny worth of licence to Dassault Systèmes. They were founded by some of the worst ennemy of the people my country made.
SW was great to use back in uni but holy hell is it full of phone home stuff and really annoying these days, I scrapped my license, they straight up wouldn’t let me cancel within 30 days of renewal so I yanked my cc and “cancelled” that way.
Use FreeCAD, mentioned in a few posts, it’s got some clunk but it’s 100% useable, has more than enough features for prosumer/hobbyist use, personally I’d make an argument it’s fine for enterprise use too, Ondsel seems to think so considering that’s the market they’re targeting with their releases. I’d recommend the Ondsel release or Realthunder’s (what I currently use) which has features/fixes that will be merged back, and 100% look at mainline freecad when the 1.0 release drops

I’d like to know more
I am not French, but tried to look it up. I couldn’t find anything except him being a billionaire which should be enough.

This guy is smart unlike American clowns… Low profile.
I pirated solid works because my university’s engineering program required what we PAY for it to complete our courses that absolutely required it.

yea I would like to second that. Not sure how many FOSS alternatives exist for mine design & planning though
I know one for mine crafting…
the only phrase in GEOVIA’s manual : never dig straight down
Storytime, please?
Dassault absolutely deserves to rot in hell right next to Adobe
