Editable files! A project might have tens of files in it and you’ll find yourself having to toggle which ones are in the active set. It’s maddening!

I had no idea it was at this fine-grained a level.

You’re permitted 10 files - total - that can be editable at any one time.

For simple things you can have all your components in a single file and make do but I rather dislike working this way for a ton of reasons.

I’m thinking about solid works when my fusion license expires. At least I’ll own my files and be able to manage them on my own ssd.

Solidworks for Makers is currently $25/yr I think (discount code).

I'm a pretty happy FreeCAD guy, actually -- my issues are not FreeCAD but learning design -- but I will be trying it too.

oh man! I didn't realize - that's so much worse!

I'll reconsider the $24/yr Solidworks deal now...
