I recently came across FreeCad http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/index.php?title=Main_Page billed as free 3d parametric Cad which is open source and cross platform running on Windows, Linux or Mac.
I spent a little while playing with it last night after following this basic tutorial:

But being a complete 3d Cad newbie, it was a bit of an uphill battle. And not having anything to compare it with, I have no idea how usable it is, nor if it is worth persisting in trying to learn to use it effectively.
Has anyone else come across FreeCad or tried to use it?
