Commenting post [96](/?blog/2015-096): Whoa, it is becoming just
more interesting^^
I'm AutoCAD and Blender user, and also, a bit a AutoLISP developer.
(I did wrote Autocad OBJ exporter-importer, to make possible conversion
of autocad primitives to Blender geometry to work with them more
comfortably)

Well, yeah, AutoCAD is pretty much popular platform, and one of the
issues why it is so popular -
easy sketching.
You cad draw easily everything you want to sketch, turn this into
drawing. Yep, it is basically wrong workflow for architecture, but it is
awesome and this makes market. (!)
This made Sketchup, and it's community!
Unfortunately, BIM of today isn't good enough to describe everything
you may need, especially in same time,
as simple drafting. Most of people are sketching all the time!
I looking back to Blender, Inkscape, GIMP, other opensource, and I
understand, that they are a part of common technology, of technology,
that is just at my service at any time. Tody their files are overflowing
my hard disc, I trust them, and they are part of my life. How it
became?

Sketching.

Each of them started as my personal notepad, where I can doodle and
draft in appropriable data format, something may be unimportant, but
daily useful. So, I can't to say the same about FreeCAD.
It is awesome software with opensource (!) engine, with ability to
create solids (!!), but it is incredibly hard to sketch in it on the
fly.

So, please, don't ignore power of primitives, annotations and
sketching, it is still a brute force of software promotion.
