FreeCad 1.0.0 released! What does 1.0 mean VS 0.9? Who knows.

Autodesk support *can* be ok sometimes if you go the corporate Fusion route. I usually solve the problems myself though and have Autodesk asking me how I fixed it in which I kindly tell the to F off since I am paying them for support and not the other way around.

For most if these apps YouTube university is pretty valuable. Some of it is also on Skillshare if you pay for that.
