FreeCAD is an Open Source CAx RAD based on OpenCasCade, Qt and Python. It features some key concepts like macro recording, workbenches, ability to run as a server and dynamically loadable application extensions and it is designed to be platform independent.

Currently, FreeCAD can import and display CAD models in IGES, STEP, and BRep formats and meshes in STL, BMS, AST and Wavefront OBJ formats. Editing and modeling features are currently somewhat limited.

I was a novice in CAD and no idea how to build 3d models. Freecad is more difficult than others to learn but I'm so glad I persisted at it. I went from begging my solid works friend to building simple models faster myself. Freecad is in my top three open source software ever.

It is difficult to get working in Mint 19.2 and when installed correctly it fails to open correctly my existing DXF drawings saved from TurboCAD. These drawing open correctly in QCAD and so indicates that FreeCAD is significantly flawed.

Version 0.17 is ready. It is implemented as an *.AppImage file. This version works fine and has no errors in this moment. Just download and install it.

Failed to install properly from Software Manager on Qiana. Had to add ppa on launchpad to upgrade and add required packages. Now I love it.
