User Reviews

  • Works good with FreeCAD_0.16, only the copper pours are missing :-)
  • Updated my review from support for FC 0.16 to 0.19. Many features have improved that make a more effective model (and I'm more capable now than I was before). The support I have needed has been met with very responsive follow-up. I use this with Eagle 7.6, and where models are not available in the readily available bundle associated with FreeCAD-PCB, I can nearly always find models at supplier or distributor web sites. That all said, I'm adjusting my rating upward as I'm quite pleased, and my designs are far less likely to have mechanical interference issues.
  • Working like a breath on OSX as well! (Did not test the eagle plugins however) I love it, best tool found in a while!
  • Really good work! Great plugin that is worth thousands..
  • Very well after I understand how I can add models, because with an absolute path it doesn't worked. So I copied into the parts folder than all worked fine. I have the problem, that rotation of the x-axis is in Freecad a rotation of the z-axis. I nice feature would be, that you can see the positioning of the part immediatly and not only when you saved the database and updated the parts. When someone clicks cancel the old position will be used. I hope you can implement something about that. A really great work!!!!
