@krby mentioned an idea in another thread that caught my interest. He mentioned maybe having some brand specific CAD subforums. I like the idea, and was just wondering if anyone else has any interest in this.
With the popularity of 3d printers, more and more people are trying to learn solid modeling. There's a learning curve to it, and having some brand specific subforums with members who are proficient in those programs and willing to help out, would probably be helpful to a lot of our members.
Fusion is extremely popular due to their free hobby license, and FreeCAD seems to have a pretty good following too. Perhaps subforums for Fusion and Freecad due to their common use in the hobbyist community, and some of the more common and popular $$$ CAD programs as well. Some of these programs have similar user interfaces and functionality. For example Solidworks, Inventor, Fusion and Alibre are very similar in the basics, and users who are learning one system, would find a lot of useful info in subforums covering the others.
Maybe subforums for Fusion, Freecad, Solidworks, Inventor, Alibre.
I'm more than happy to help out with the Alibre subforum, answering questions and posting tutorial videos. I'm sure we have members here than can help out in the other subforums as well.
Thoughts? Any interest?
