Similiar to MathCAD 15 and with full units of measurements support, very good for engineering calculations and documentation.

Re:CadQuery – a parametric CAD script framework on Monday May 14, 2018 @02:46PM (#17068276)
One reason is that you get Revision history, branches etc. using the VCS of your choice. Much more powerful than any PDM system in my opinion

Also check out cqparts which builds on cadquery and add the concept of parts, assemblies and mates to cadquery

https://github.com/fragmuffin/cqparts

Is it possible you could share that script? :) It would be interesting to see how it is done

I have heard a lot of good stuff about DrumGizmo[0] lately, it has a very active development as well. Havent had the oppurtunity to try it out yet. But I have recently heard people moving from Hydrogen to DrumGizmo.

Re:FreeCAD 0.16 release notes on Wednesday April 20, 2016 @08:35AM (#11533875)
FreeCAD development have really picked up the pace lately. There is also a major overhaul of the partdesign workbench merged and underway for release 0.17. It brings user created datum points, axis and planes. It also brings advanced modeling features such as draft angles, shell and swept profile cut! Much to get excited about! :)
