It looks really impressive, seems like it's largely oriented towards PCBs though?

Anyone have experience using it for woodworking modeling? Is there a better tool out there for that? I've been using SketchUp, which is "only ok": The modeling for parts is good, but setting it up for spitting out a cut list kind of sucks. Plus, it's like $300/year to buy the version that does cutlists, the web version will not. I use tinkercad for modeling 3d prints and mostly like it, it's kind of klunky, but easy for simpleish models.

I'll probably donate something to KiCAD, it'd be a no brainer to donate $300 instead of buying a year of SketchUp, but "buying" SketchUp for $300 for a year for something I'm going to use 3-5 times in the year is kind of a hard sell.

Been meaning to look at FreeCAD and SolveSpace.

Any recommendations for woodworking?
