It’s getting a lot better. It reminds me of how Blender took off. I’ve been messing with it and just updated to 1.0. I think it has a lot of work left for casual user onboarding, but the bugs are less and the crashes less common than ever. It’s getting there. Hopefully the foundation they set with 1.0 will propel them into the future.
There are translation layers to run x86/64 code on ARM, I don’t know how easy it will be to do the same work on RISCV, but I’m guessing if the will is there, the code will follow. But I’ve yet to see a RISC-V chip that gets close to the performance if a modern ARM or x86 laptop/desktop class device, so that translation might be useful to help close gaps, but I doubt anyone is going to be doing real gaming on RISC-V this year.
Thanks for posting this. I, too, have a FreeCAD model on Printables that I was using an embedded spreadsheet for, but I never noticed the “alias” text box. That will pretty up my model so much. I’ve been doing cell number references like “B8” and it is both ugly and painful.
