Well, I’m definitely going to try it because some of those third party workbenches look pretty cool. And I like the idea of having CAD software on my new Linux PC. But I have access to NX from work, so it’s going to have some big shoes to fill. Looks like there are workbenches for editing meshes like from STL files, which is cool. My license at work doesn’t include that. Anyone know if it supports 3DConnexion devices?

Yeah, there’s a 3rd-party driver called Spacenav that works pretty well. I haven’t gotten the two side buttons on my mini wireless one though.
(I wouldn’t bother with the driver from 3DConnexion as it hasn’t been touched in 10 years old)
ETA: The settings for it in FreeCAD is at Tools>Customize>Spaceball Motion/Buttons
Oh, cool! Excellent.
