#FREECAD ASSEMBLY3 PLUS#

when we try to design interlocking lasercut boxes, or almost every complex thing which should fit into some pre-defined parent supersystem. This workflow assumes we have all parts designed separately. * Assembly4 is relatively simple because you don't need external constraint solvers, you use the expressions engine that is native to FreeCAD.Īs far as I can understand, current assembly implementations fall into two categories:Ī) We conveniently edit and save parts of assembly, but standalone, not in context of parent assembly. * Assembl圓 is relatively advanced but also quite powerful. * A2plus is an older workbench that has been around for a while. I am using FreeCAD the most up to date nightly build of FreeCAD 0.19 with Ubuntu 20.04 on a laptop running a core I-7 9750h. So my question is now: Which one to chose? Which one is more stable, is getting more development, etc? Any major issues that I would have to be aware of in any of them?

From the videos it looks like assembly 2 plus and assembly 3 are closer to the way I am used to working with the fusion 360 joints. The tread about assemblies list 3 different current workbenches, that are currently under development, so I am wondering which to chose. My problem now is that, as I understand, there is no official workbench for assemblies yet. So first of all thanks for your great work and this great piece of software.

The design of individual parts is a bit different, but works without any problems after getting used to the shortcuts. As I moved to Ubuntu a few weeks ago my previous CAD Program, Autodesk Fusion 360, does not work anymore so I tried switching to FreeCAD.
