edX Solidworks course: there should be a FreeCAD option as well...

Post by hmk »

I just saw this announcement on the edX learning platform about the SOLIDWORKS CAD Fundamentals course starting Dec 13, 2021:
https://www.edx.org/course/solidworks-cad-fundamentals
(It seems you have to buy a yearly subscription of 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS for Makers: US$99 (excluding taxes).)

My spontaneous reaction to this was that there should be an equivalent course about FreeCAD!! Perhaps edX would react favorably to such a proposal.. Just wanted to throw this idea around in case the right people in the FreeCAD community read this and think it would be interesting to pursue further...

BTW, at edX a course can usually be audited for free and there is certificate option that costs some money. The certificate fee (minus "overhead") could flow back to the FreeCAD project, I guess.

Hi

for FreeCAD you have the MOOC-Workbench install with AddonManager

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
My macros on Gist.github here complete macros Wiki and forum.
