Transitioning from Solidworks to FreeCAD

Overview
The intention of this page is to serve as a guide for users that are accustomed to the Solidworks CAD/CAM workflow and want to use try or perhaps migrate to FreeCAD.

History
Understanding a little of the history of FreeCAD potentially help users comprehend and orient better to it.
 * FreeCAD was initially designed to behave parametrically using the Constructive solid geometry method (see also [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|24px]] Part Workbench).
 * Later it incorporated the feature editing method within the [[Image:Workbench_PartDesign.svg|24px]] PartDesign Workbench.
 * Solidworks incorporates the latter approach, feature editing.
