Can't even take a short break from 3D designing stuff. Glad I'm switching over to FreeCAD. All I wanted was to grab some dimensions from an old model.

I'm mostly talking about part design.

I've discovered freecad is great for FEM, though. (well, the best option that doesn't cost oodles.) Mostly I design...elsewhere and import the meshes for that. I'll give Mango's videos a look.
