I'm at about 130 models in FC 1.0 and have yet to see a crash. There are things TinkerCAD can do that Fusion 360 cannot, like import and edit a large STL.

    Come on this just seem disingenuous, or extremely lucky. It's great it's out there but calling it stable is not one of them. Yesterday my freecad crashed for just closing a sketch that I didn't even change and now all edge/face references are broken. (anyone a tip how to easily fix that? Doing it manually takes ages)

    Ok. So apparently I did get crashes and never realized it. Thanks Lemmy!

    Yeah I find it hard to believe. Maybe you're just sticking to a safe subset of features. I don't know. Didn't mean to berate you or anything. But I have had so many corrupted saves and random crashes I'm starting to more and more use openSCAD.

    Maybe it's the Linux build? What are your running?

    I had one or two crashes in the two years of frequent use (few times a week for multiple hours) on arch linux, lately I've been using weekly appimages and they crash a lot more.

    I've always used the stable AppImages, on Fedora previously, Bazzite now, the crashes have reduced, but they're still frequent, especially (but not exclusively) when working on large assemblies.
