FreeCAD is an open source, parametric CAD 3D available on OS X, Windows and Linux. Unfortunately Mac installers are very outdated, because there is no maintainer any more.
From the thread:
In the past week two Mac users (one here just today, the other on the Google+ community) have wondered why there was no origin point in the Sketcher like in the tutorials on YouTube.
The fact is that on Sourceforge, there is no 0.13.1830 stable build of FreeCAD. People on Mac OS X 10.7 get proposed FreeCAD_0.12_MacOSX10.7_20120110_x64.dmg. In the Mac FreeCAD 0.13 Unstable folder, they get a 0.13 version from October 2012, 4 months before the stable release! And you guys remember how active development was during that period prior to the 0.13 release.
Best Open Source Cad Program
Every Mac build on there is hopelessly outdated. So what's the point of having them there? People then come here with some expectations and wonder why they don't have such and such feature. :|
Free Cad Program For Mac
And not to forget that the Mac versions available on SF are riddled with bugs the Windows and Linux versions don't have. I've had exchanges with Mac users on various places like the RepRap forums, the 3D Printing G+ community... This does not paint FreeCAD in a very good light.
peterl94 made a build for OS X 10.6 last August based on master, it seems to work for other versions but some further installation of dependencies is required. Knowing that should we upload it? Unfortunately he didn't get much feedback: only three people replied to his topic!!!
